Far Cry 4 Review
All Ajay wanted to do was fulfill his deceased mother’s final wish of having her ashes spread on her home soil. Instead, he gets tangled up in a bloody civil war that forces him to take arms against the evil empire. This is the underlying premise of Far Cry 4, the latest in Ubisoft’s hit shooter franchise.
I’ve experienced my fair share of unpleasant moments with past Far Cry games. The stealth sequences in Far Cry 3 forced me to give up the game towards the end, and I thought that the humour of Blood Dragon wore out its welcome long before the game ended. However, I keep coming back in hopes that Ubisoft will finally push their open world franchise to its full potential. Is Far Cry 4 the game to do it?
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Review
After mining World War II for everything it had to offer, Call of Duty got a huge boost by moving into the modern era. Years later, in a time where present-day warfare feels like old hat, the franchise moves again to the only logical next step: the future. Sure, for those keeping score, Black Ops II was a half-step in this direction, though Advanced Warfare leaves all semblance of the present behind with futuristic guns, gear, and movement options that represent the most dramatic change to the core formula. Can Activision score another touchdown off of the same era-switching play?

Titanfall Review
When Medal of Honor was at its peak, Jason West and Vince Zampella defected from that franchise to create Call of Duty. Clearly, this was a gamble that paid off, as their franchise continues to be the biggest cash cow in console gaming year-after-year. Years later, they would once again leave a great thing behind in search of making something even better. The end product of their latest move is Titanfall. Exclusive to Microsoft platforms, this first-person shooter states its case for being the next big thing.
Jett Plays Titanfall
Lots of things get shot at in my time with Respawn Entertainment’s futuristic shooter. I try my best to discuss a bunch of different things related to the game, but I get caught up in the action pretty quickly. Also, whenever you’re making a let’s play video on the Xbox One, never say Xbox One because your system might think you’re talking to it!
Jett Plays Call of Duty: Ghosts
I had great games before and after recording, but I’m mostly a bullet sponge here. While I’m repeatedly getting gunned down, I talk about the upcoming Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, my thoughts on the series as a whole, and my not-so strategic approach to combat.
Top 10 Games Of This Generation – #5 – Borderlands
For me, Borderlands was the ultimate ‘don’t know it til you try it’ game of the generation. Leading up to its release, nothing about it sounded like something I wanted to play. However, after all of the positive buzz, I figured that I should get around to it eventually for academic purposes. By the end of my 100-plus-hour run, I might as well have been rewarded with a Ph.D, as I explored every nook and cranny of that game.
Top 10 Games Of This Generation – #6 – BioShock
I’ll never forget my first foray into Rapture. Before the game came out, I hopped into the demo with no idea of what I was getting myself into. From the moment that bathysphere went underwater, I was hooked. Below the ocean was the world of Rapture; an underwater dystopia that was beautiful in a way I’d never seen in a video game before. Once inside, the story that unfolded rose to a dramatic crescendo…and stopped. When that promo screen enticing you to buy the full game appeared, I just had to have this game.

Top 10 Games of This Generation – Honourable Mention: BioShock Infinite
BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite are two very different solutions to the same problem. That problem being, “How do you follow up a title as amazing as BioShock?” BioShock 2 is the designed-by-suits-in-a-shareholders-meeting approach, while BioShock Infinite takes a much more creative path. By taking some inspiration from the original and building a whole new story, Infinite is one of the freshest gaming experiences of this generation.
