Remember Me (Game) Review

Posted by in Games

Remember Me is a third-person Action-Adventure game developed by Dontnod Entertainment.  I rented it for the PS3 from GameAccess.ca. In Remember Me, you play as Nilin, a female memory hunter in a future Paris destroyed by terrorists and weather phenomenon and in the middle of being rebuilt with the help of a large corporation called Memorize that invented devices that can hook into a persons memory and import and export individual memories like a hard drive known as Sensens.  The memory hunters are essentially rogues that hunt down and steal…read more

Tomb Raider (2013) – Game Review

Posted by in Games

Tomb Raider, released in March 2013, is an Action Adventure Platform game developed by Crystal Dynamics and is a reboot/origin story of the legendary English archaeologist Lara Croft.  I rented the PS3 version from Game Access, though I hear the PC version has substantially better graphics, the PS3 version wasn’t bad at all. The story follows a young Lara Croft as she goes out on her first expedition as the junior archaeologist to the famous Dr. Whitman, who is funding the expedition to find the Yamatai, the Japanese kingdom where…read more

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is a third person action-adventure platform game developed by LucasArts and released in 2010. I really enjoyed Force Unleashed, despite some major bugs with the game so I decided to give the sequel a shot regardless of all the bad reviews it’s gotten.  I think most of the bad press is due to it’s short length, even for me 6.5 hours is a short game of this type.  It really seems as if the developer ran out of time/money/resources and was forced to just…read more

The Walking Dead – Game

Posted by in Games

The Walking Dead game is an episodic adventure made by Telltale games.  The current plan is to have 5 episodes, which are included in the $25 season pass on Steam, and if it is received well enough there may be another season after this one.  It is essentially a point and click adventure title for the most part, but I didn’t realize that for quite some time thanks to the great story and voice acting.  Based in the same world and even the same areas of Georgia as the graphic novel and…read more
