Rise of the Tomb Raider – Let’s Play

30.11.2016

Rise of the Tomb Raider This classic franchise has a new rendition and it did not disappoint. The graphics and environment was absolutely beautiful. The classic story line with a new twist offered just enough of the same with a fresh perspective to keep it interesting. Rise of the Tomb Raider, the Let's Play below was played on Xbox One but on Playstation 4 the version comes with an amazing Playstation VR mission we can't wait to try. We just...

Killing Floor 2 Killing Floor 2 by Tripwire Interactive delivered hours of exciting and overall fun content time and time again. The game was only $40 on the Playstation Store and was absolutely worth every penny. There is no story mode, only a survival, round based zombie kill fest. It strays from classic zombie games like Left 4 Dead in some key ways. However, it did offer some amazing cinematic and extremely gory moments with some silly commentary in between rounds....

No Man’s Sky is a game that will go down in infamy. Whether the game truly evolves to the level the developers imagined or not. The initial fallout from the community after day-one was less than what the developers hopped for. After receiving all of this heat from the public, an investigation into false-advertising and a long period of silence from the developers Hello Games finally released their first game-changing update, The Foundation Update 1.10. The developers made it explicitly...

While Assassin's Creed didn't see a release this year, a collection of some of the best games in the series has been released. Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection centers around the lovable protagonist Ezio as he goes on a story filled with laughs, tears, and more glitches than you can throw a hidden dagger at. This year has been filled with a myriad of excellent HD re-releases, that’s why it’s disappointing to see the state in which this iconic collection...

Hard mode, a phrase that inspires fear in casual gamers but brings a gleam to the eyes of the most hardcore enthusiasts. These difficulties are designed to add an extra layer of challenge to a game experience and make it harder to reach the end of the story. Some sort of incentive is usually given for completing the tougher challenge, but most don’t see the value in accomplishing this unappealing option. Not every game gives the option for a higher...

Killing Floor 2 We have been playing this game since it dropped and it’s absolutely deserving of a review. Killing Floor 2 is an action packed, zombie massacre offering unique environments and a decent amount of weapons to choose from. The game is a round based shooter, with 4, 7 and 10 rounds as an option for game length. Right now the only gametype is ‘Survival’ but it looks like they may add more. I never had the chance to...

The chaotic shouts of commands, debris and mud being kicked up by explosions, bullets flying by and all you have is your gun and squad of fellow soldiers. These are the epic moments we get to see in 20th century war shooters that seem to be lost in today’s first person shooter scene (FPS). As an avid fan of the old school Call of Duty’s I’d like to see the return of not just World War II era shooter, but wars from...

Watch Dogs 2 Watch Dogs 2 was a refreshing take on this series. The first game didn't quite live to expectations but Ubisoft did a great job on this next step in the Watch Dogs franchise. Gigs and Mack start from the beginning so you can know what to expect right from the start. The internet is everywhere and Watch Dogs 2 takes full advantage of this fact. Using a bit of strategy can lead to some incredibly cool takedowns...

Hotline Miami - Let's Play We wanted to switch it up a bit so we picked up something a little different. Hotline Miami was a great change of pace and offered us the right amount of action and fun. This top down, fast paced action 80's montage was tough but Gigs finally made it through. If you're looking for something to kill some time while also delivering a sense of accomplishment, this indie game might be for you. Gigs and...

The Time Has Come The Pokemon series has changed quite a bit since the launch of Red and Blue 20 years ago. Each new iteration brought with it new gameplay mechanics that changed the game ever so slightly. It is no surprise then that Sun and Moon brought a host of new changes but this time they are much more dramatic. These two new versions are an excellent adventure that manage to retain the Pokemon charm that we all know and...
