Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation Review

Today, we'll be discussing Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation, the series first venture onto the Playstation Vita. This is also our first review of a Playstation Vita game here at Web of Paine, so hopefully you enjoy this review. With the Vita being the hi-def sequel to the PSP system, AC3 Liberation is one of the…

Assassin’s Creed III Review

I've not attempted to hide the fact that Assassin's Creed has been my favorite franchise of the current generation, or that Assassin's Creed III has been my most anticipated title of the year. I had incredibly high expectations going into this game, and truth be told maybe I had that bar set a little too…

Sleeping Dogs Review

  Hello all and welcome back to another installment of The Backlog. You know, when I first started these, I was looking at some blasts, or in some cases some flops, from the past. Here lately, I've been showcasing the type of games that have caused my wall of shame to grow unchecked for several…

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Review

At first glance, you may think Brotherhood is nothing more than an expansion pack to Assassin's Creed II, and actually that doesn't feel far off. The game does carry that vibe. Brotherhood picks up exactly where Assassin's Creed II left off, for both Desmond and Ezio, making this a direct sequel where you really need…

Game of Thrones Review

Hello all and welcome to another edition of The Backlog. For the first time since we talked about Mass Effect what feels like ages ago, we will be venturing into the RPG world and discussing Game of Thrones. For those unfamiliar with Game of Thrones, here is a quick summary: A Game of Thrones is…

InFamous 2 Review

The end of Sucker Punch's 2009 smash hit InFamous let everyone know that a sequel was coming because when the first one was over, you knew that everything you as Cole had just went through was in preparation for a much larger battle to come: a battle against the Beast. You don't have to wait…

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Review

Undead Nightmare really is something special. Priced at $10, or 800 Microsoft Points, on PSN and Xbox LIVE, it's the kind of DLC that even the most anti-DLC person can get behind. It features additional multiplayer modes, but even more importantly a stand-alone single player campaign that will last you roughly six to eight hours…

L.A. Noire Review

This review may contain spoilers. This is going to be a hard review to write, especially with trying not to include spoilers (the warning is there for a reason though). If you read my quick thoughts on the game after spending a few hours with it Tuesday, then you know what I initially thought of…

InFamous Review

I'm not a comic book fan and don't particularly care for superhero stuff at all. Despite hearing great things about InFamous, it never really appealed to me as something I'd want to buy. When I finally got a Playstation 3, it came bundled with two games: Killzone 2 and InFamous. In addition to those two…

The Saboteur Review

The Saboteur is a World War 2 game, yet one that isn't boring and worn out. Instead of being a first person shooter reliving the same battles again and again, Saboteur is a third person shooter taking place in Nazi occupied Paris, France. Instead of being a member of one of the Allied military's, you…
