Assassin’s Creed Unity Review

I deliberately held off on doing this review because very few if any outlets have bothered to give this game a fair shake post patches. The bulk of what you see out there is either 1.0 or 1.1 when the game was in a far worse state. As of the date I write this: January…

Grand Theft Auto V (PS4) Review

Rockstar wowed the majority of us a year ago when they released Grand Theft Auto V on PS3 and Xbox 360. Even on old hardware, it was an excellent looking game that still looks better than some games released on the new systems. Now that Rockstar has released the game for PS4 and Xbox One,…

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Review

Today we shall look at a fun, but slightly flawed game, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Middle-Earth is an action adventure RPG romp into the universe of the Lord of the Rings. With that established and without further adieu, let's get this show on the road. I believe that I have stated on numerous occasions that am…

Watch_Dogs Review

Ever since E3 2012, Watch Dogs has been one of the most hyped and anticipated titles on any system and for good reason. The now near legendary and certainly controversial video that Ubisoft showed at the E3 was a jaw dropping, gorgeous looking game that teased a slick cyberhack Grand Theft Auto variant with everything…

Infamous: Second Son Review

The second of the two major Next-Gen exclusives arriving this month has arrived in the form of Infamous: Second Son.  This time it is Sony's turn to showcase what they have in store for its dedicated fan base.  In Second Son you take control of Delsin Rowe who finds himself the recipient of a set…

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Review

I am a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed games so admittedly I approach these games with a healthy benefit of the doubt and positive bias in place. I hope I'm not an outright fanboy and I don't think I am since I can harp on some quibbles and nitpicks I had from previous games,…

LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes Review

Hello boys and girls and welcome back to another edition of everyone's favorite video game review, The Backlog...what? This isn't your favorite review? Oh...well that's embarrassing. Today we'll be taking a look at LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes, Telltale Games latest LEGO incarnation. I've been meaning to get around to writing this for a week or…

Grand Theft Auto V Review

This has proven a hard review to even begin. Not because I don’t have anything to say about Grand Theft Auto V, as a matter of fact I could say plenty about the game, but rather because I haven’t wanted to stop playing it. We’ve seen some truly amazing games this year: BioShock Infinite and…

Saints Row IV Review

My favorite gaming genre is third person shooter set in an open world. This generation has produced many of these types of games, and a lot of them have been really great. Riding horses and mowing down outlaws in Red Dead Redemption was awesome; skydiving and blowing stuff up in Just Cause 2 was great;…

Lego City Undercover Review

Chase McCain returns to Lego City right after criminal mastermind and all around bad guy Rex Fury has escaped from prison. McCain is the... umm... man (?) that did most of the work to bring Fury to justice and lead to his arrest. The man that actually made that arrest was Marion Dunby, an incompetent…
