WR: Call of Duty: World at War (360/PS3/PC)

Monday, January 12th, 2009

codwaw_01

Developer: Treyarch
Publisher: Activision
Players: 1-4 (16 online)
Console: Xbox 360, PS3, PC
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
Hours Played: ~ 20 hours
Progress: Finished single player, played every map in online multiplayer.

The first-person shooter genre is over saturated, no doubt. However, as in so many other aspects of life, competition makes for greatness. Being a multiplayer gamer, my journey to figure out exactly which game I would devote my gaming life to was an arduous one, but alas, as in war, victory was won by pure grit and determination. Enter Call of Duty: World at War (CODWAW). With grit in the pure visceral impact of every second of the single player campaign, you can feel the determination of Treyarch to make one of the largest games of last year. War is hell, and hell is here.

WR: Fallout 3 (360, PS3, PC)

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

fallout3

Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Genre: First-Person Action RPG
Players: 1
Console: Xbox 360/PS3/PC
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
TestFreaks Score: 9.6/10
Hours Played: ~ 40 hours
Progress: Beat main story, completed about half of side quests

Bethesda is a video game company known primarily for its development of one of the biggest first-person action RPG game series in the world, Elder Scrolls.  With their track record of primarily awesome games and their renown in the world of RPGs, extreme quality is most certainly expected from any game that they produce.  When it was announced that Bethesda was going to take the reins for a first-person iteration of the popular Fallout series for current-gen consoles, there was a mixed response from the gaming community.  Isometric turn-based RPG purists were disgusted that Fallout 3 would not be receiving the Diablo treatment again, and fans of the Elder Scrolls series rejoiced as Bethesda was embarking to create another game so much like thier beloved series.  I was in the latter of the two categories, so my expectations for this game were quite high.  Was Bethesda able to deliver on all of the hype surrounding their newest RPG?

Are you ready for the zombie apocalypse? Have you ever seen George A. Romero?s Day of the Dead, made way back in the 80?s? How about the latest remake? You know the movie where the zombies actually run at the people instead of sleep walking and groaning about back pains? Well, Left 4 Dead is a lot like the new Day of the Dead, it has zombies, blood, guns, and a lot more zombies! The zombies charge at you at full speed, none of that sleep walking business.

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (PC)

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Developer: CDProjekt RED
Publisher: Atari
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
Players: 1
Genre: 3rd-person real-time RPG
Hours played: A Ton

The original Witcher game received many awards including RPG of the Year from IGN, PC Gamer, GameSpy, and GameSpot.  CDProjekt, hoping to further this great success, recently released an entirely updated version of the game with improvements covering essentially every aspect of the game.  80% faster load times, vastly improved graphics, new quests, and all-new dubbing in 8 different languages are just a few of the improvements that were put in to enhance the original award-winning game.  This is all quite impressive, but does the game fare well under the Usagi’s metaphorical gaming microscope?
