Splinter Cell: Blacklist Review – PlayStation 3 (Also on Xbox 360)

Posted By David Klein On October 16, 2013 at 4:45 pm 1 COMMENT

SCB_Screenshot_MPEVENT_COOP_SamBriggs02Splinter Cell: Blacklist had a lot of potential in my eyes. Conviction was a fun and exciting game that while spent years in development delivered a new start for Sam Fisher on a next generation console. The multiplayer I got to try out before Blacklist came out was solid and left me with me with a good taste in my mouth leading up to the release of the game. Now where did it all go wrong, what did Blacklist do so that I’d have one the worst experiences of any current generation console game?

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Review – Wii U

Posted By Michael Leparc On October 16, 2013 at 2:38 pm Comments Off on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Review – Wii U

WiiU_WindWakerHD_082113_Scrn10Following on the heels of Pikmin 3 comes another decade old game from the halcyon days of the GameCube. This time it’s The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, a makeover of the original and another attempt to whet the appetites of Wii U owners until a proper Zelda comes down the pike. Whether it’s enough to do that will probably depend on whether you’ve already played the game or the depth of your fondness for the original.

For those of us who never had a GameCube, including yours truly, the setup for Wind Waker is as follows: Link is celebrating his birthday by wearing that signature green outfit for the first time (an allusion to a previous Link from the Ocarina of Time according to the legend told at the start) when suddenly a giant bird appears, dropping a pirate captain named Tetra on his island’s forest. When Link rescues her, it decides to make up for it by stealing his sister, Aryll, instead and whisking her away to another island called the Forbidden Fortress. After another rescue attempt which is botched, Link happens upon a talking boat called the King of Red Lions, and once acquiring a sail and the Wind Waker, a baton that controls the wind, sets off on adventure to gather everything needed to take on the great bird and Ganon, who controls it.

Real Boxing Review – Playstation Vita

Posted By Aaron Jean On October 16, 2013 at 2:02 pm Comments Off on Real Boxing Review – Playstation Vita

Real Boxing PS Vita 07Real Boxing is like a shabby old building that’s been given a new facade. At a glance, it’s shiny and grand and pleasing to the eye. But on closer inspection, it’s revealed to have a flat, boring, and decrepit structure.

It certainly looks the part. Model detail is impressive, and the camera angles and movements convey a good sense of impact and motion. Watching your fighter duck your opponent’s right hook is highly exhilarating, and you’ll feel the impact as you counter with a powerful uppercut. The effect of the game’s dramatic camera effects never quite wears off, and the silhouetted forms of the audience feel more convincing than the average sports game’s simulated crowd.
