I rarely make public predictions about where technology is going, but I was just struck by a thought I felt compelled to share. Here’s a prediction for 2014:
Beyond: Two Souls (B:TS) is an emotionally charged supernatural horror game from the makers of Heavy Rain. Do the high production values and deeply emotional plot deliver on the game’s lofty pedigree, or is this a rare low-point in the catalog of Quantic Dream?
Saints Row: The Third is a top-notch AAA experience, and a worthy sequel to Saints Row 2. Does it manage to surpass it’s predecessor, or does it get bogged down in the over-the-top ridiculousness of the Third Street Saints?
Super Mario 3D World (SM3DW) is incredible. I don’t mean “oh wow, this game is so great, this is the best platformer of the year!”. No. I mean “this game is so excellent, it reminds us what Nintendo means to our culture and gives the Wii U a fighting chance in the console wars.” Seriously. I often found myself stunned how much fun I (and a few of my friends) were having.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow Ultimate Edition is more than just your average God of War clone. Do yourself a favor and play the first couple of levels. Revel in the quality of the game. Just don’t think of it as...
DuckTales Remastered is a lovingly recrafted game and a true gem of a platformer. As it’s on sale today at 5.99$, do yourself a favor and go pick it up.
New Super Luigi U (NSLU) is one of the best deals currently available for the fledgling Wii U System.
Saints Row 2 is a fun bit of ultra-violence, which somehow manages to successfully ride the thin line between silly and emotionally engaging.
King of Fighters XIII is a true heir to the golden age of Neo Geo fighters. This is a full-on port of King of Fighters XIII, with all of the features you’d expect from a AAA fighting title. Fans of...
Skullgirls is a gorgeous, highly polished fighter. While I had intended to do this review after finishing Saints Row 2, it’s on 50% off sale for the rest of the day on Steam so this seems an appropriate time for a review.
