Tomb Raider Review

In many years I could sign off on this game as "Game Of The Year" outright. It's that good. In a year like 2013 is shaping up to be and the fact that this game came out early enough in it, the jury is still out. I can guarantee that by the end of the…

Dead Space 3 Review

The third and final installment in the Dead Space game series, or at least as far as Isaac Clarke's story arc goes, is upon us and it doesn't disappoint. I'll say upfront: If you're a fan of this series you'll be very happy with this game and if you never cared about the series there's…

Hitman Absolution Review

I'm a long time Hitman fanboy. I view Blood Money as the apex of the series and that hasn't changed with the advent of this game. Just to get that out of the way. At least once a year I have to fire up at least Blood Money for a jaunt and often times Contracts…

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…

Spec Ops: The Line Review

Hello all and welcome back, yet again, to another edition of The Backlog. Today we shall be venturing into the latest entry into the Spec Ops series, Spec Ops: The Line. Unlike the last time we got together to go over Inversion, I really enjoyed this game. Inversion had a cooler concept with their gravity…

Inversion Review

Greetings everyone and welcome one more time to The Backlog. I'm a little passed my goal of getting this posted a week after the release, but it's been a busy week. On top of that, I'm not exactly overcome with excitement to talk about Inversion, which, as you probably already noticed from the title, is…

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Review

Hello all and welcome once again to The Backlog. Today we'll be taking a look at the latest Tom Clancy offering from Ubisoft, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. I have not played a Tom Clancy game for several years. The last one I played was HAWX, and Advanced Warfighter before that. Both of those…

Max Payne 3 Review

It's been over a decade since the first Max Payne game hit the market, and if you played it way back then odds are you still remember it. Not because it was some utterly amazing game, although it was great, but rather because Max Payne was rather unique and memorable with its dark story, noir…

Sniper Elite V2 Review

This is the anti Call of Duty/Battlefield game. It's also technically a third person shooter except for when sniping, which is what the bulk of the gameplay involves. If you're itching for something completely different, and arguably the opposite of those types of first person shooters, then I can wholeheartedly recommend Sniper Elite V2 on…

Starhawk Review

When Starhawk was first announced and the details starting coming out, it immediately grabbed my attention in part because it was a space-western but also because it seemed like an ambitious and unique concept. As the spiritual-successor to a popular online only game, Starhawk has some pretty big shoes to fill. Now I'm not familiar…
