Finally, this is the month PlayStation Vita lands in North America. Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Lumines: Electronic Symphony are both calling to me, but it's WipEout 2048 that will likely sell me on the sys
February, while a month filled with love, will also be a month I hate, mostly because it will end with 249 less dollars left in my bank account. But in place of that $249 I will be receiving a shiny new PS Vita, a handheld I have been dying to get my hands on since back at E3 2011. So, of course my gaming time in February, albeit late February, will be dominated by Vita titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss , but the title I'm most looking forward to is Virtua Tennis 4 for its clever use of touch and its addictive nat
A skilled player can do work with any hero in the Fps game story guide, and that's no different with Torbjörn. His damage is more consistent that Junkrat's, but he suffers from similar problems. For one, it's not hard to block or out-heal his turret damage. Even more, at higher levels, turrets don't have a very high lifespan if they aren't being protected with priority. They're relatively easy to deal with, even on cons
Sombra, as she is at this moment, is under-powered in multiple ways. She relies too heavily on her hack; an ability that is easy to interrupt and difficult to fully utilize. Like most of the heroes in this section of the list, a Tracer or Genji would serve the team better in almost any situat
Everyone remembers the games that changed everything. Wolfenstein 3D brought the industry into the 3D era, Final Fantasy VII made the PlayStation a direct threat to Nintendo’s empire, and Halo 2 brought online multiplayer to consoles. However, there’s not a recent game that sticks in player’s minds like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Infinity Ward’s risky leap into a modern setting ended up not only being one of the best games of 2007 but one of the most groundbreaking. The Modern Warfare's intuitive create-a-class, killstreak, and progression system forever changed multiplayer. To this day, recent Call of Duty titles still incorporates a version of this system. Now, in 2016, Activision and Raven Software are re-releasing a remastered version of the classic, but does it remain the ultimate Call of Duty experience, or has it aged horribly?
Despite being an old game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered feels fresh. After years of over-the-top killstreaks, wall-running, and other crazy antics, it’s nice to get back to the basics. Boots-on-the-ground can be just as engrossing as crazy movement systems, so hopefully Modern Warfare Remastered can remind Activision that modern times can be just as fun as the future.
The details of the original fight between Hanzo and Genji are sketchy at best. It is believed that the two had a sword fight, with Hanzo overpowering his brother. The reason this is believed is because the creators of Overwatch have outright said that Hanzo is a better swordsman than Genji. He likely stopped using a sword after almost killing his brother with
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered tells the exact same plot from the 2007 original: Russian ultra nationalist Imran Zakhaev seeks to shift the balance of power in the Middle-East, and by using Khaled Al-Asad to lead a coup, the duo successfully assassinate Saudi Arabian President Yasir Al-Fulani, resulting in a conflict that draws in the United States Army and British Task Force 141. Despite being a nine-year-old story, Modern Warfare Remastered’s tale of espionage, invasion, and nuclear warfare resonates as much today as it did back in 2007. The plot is a lot more grounded and realistic than any recent Call of Duty game and has more of a Steven Spielberg feel to it rather than the Michael Bay of late. You’re not a super solider stuck in the middle of out-of-this-world set piece, but rather a regular soldier working with a squad to complete objectives.
It's hard to remember a time when so many great games were flooding the market after the holidays. Capcom is rolling out some cool hits, continuing the Resident Evil franchise with Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS and topping it off with the wacky and out of control Asura's Wrath . It's just insane and Japanese enough to grab my attention. Jak and Daxter will make their return to the PlayStation in glorious HD and I couldn't be more elated to play through one of my favorite trilogies again. Yes, it was a trilogy. The spin-offs don't co
Of course, multiplayer is what Call of Duty is all about, and Raven Software has put a lot of time and effort into remastering the experience. Everything you had in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is here, and then there’s some new content thrown in, as well. First off, the game launches with ten maps - Ambush, Backlot, Bog, Crash, Crossfire, District, Downpour, Overgrown, Shipment, and Vacant – with the remaining six - Bloc, Countdown, Pipeline, Showdown, Strike, and Wet Work – coming in December. Then you have all the guns, attachments, perks, and game modes from the original game. While there are no new weapons, Raven has included new weapon skins to unlock through challenges. A new inspect mode (accessed by pressing down on the d-pad) allows you to view your skins up close in-game. There are also new character patches and weapon stickers to place on your character and gun for a little extra personalization, and best of all, none of these items are locked beyond Supply Drops. There are even a few new game modes such as Kill Confirmed thrown in.
