Microsoft’s latest gaming console is now out! If you don’t have one pre-ordered, your odds of picking one up now are slim. However, you can try your luck through Amazon and have them ship one to you as soon as they have them. If you’re thinking that’s the way to go, use the handy link below!
I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve held a lifelong disdain towards the Tomb Raider franchise. At the time, I hated the fact that it played a major role in gamers adopting the PlayStation One in droves, which did not sit well with my Nintendo fanboy self. I also just thought that the few experiences I had with a few of the games in the series didn’t strike me as anything interesting or special. The last time I tried to play a Tomb Raider game was Legend on the Xbox 360, which I grew bored of after an hour of playing the demo.
Regardless of the validity of my claims against the Lara of yesteryear, they don’t apply here. The new Tomb Raider is awesome.
Unlike many a gamer, who had no shortage of fond memories with Valve games, their catalogue of work was alien to me until Left 4 Dead. As an active avoider of PC gaming, I missed out on Half Life and Team Fortress completely, while being years late to Portal. Thankfully, I was there on day one for Left 4 Dead.
On a whim before the game’s release, I downloaded the demo on Xbox Live. I was not ready for the awesomeness that would ensue.
The Xbox 360/PlayStation 3/Wii generation has been quite the trip. In its almost 8-year run, we’ve seen the meteoric rise (and fall) of the Wii. We experienced how online technology fundamentally changed the way we interact with the medium. We also got a plethora of wonderful games to play.
Ranking them is no easy task, and there is no right answer. As a list-maker, all you can do rank them how you see them and open the door for discussion. Over the next few weeks/months, I’ll be counting down In Third Person’s top 10 games of this generation.
A new era in video games has begun!
The PlayStation 4 is out now, and there are a lot of happy gamers out there messing around with the latest and greatest in gaming tech. If you’re don’t have yours, it’s not too late to order one from Amazon through In Third Person!
Admittedly, they’re probably sold out by now. But it might be easier to order one through Amazon and have it shipped to you as soon as it’s available rather than making a ton of calls to local stores or standing in line. Though I may have a vested interest in this transaction, I still think that ordering through me is a great idea. 😉
For the past few weeks, I’ve been overcome with PlayStation 4 hype. I thought it took a bit of a hit when Watch Dogs got delayed, but it’s only been full steam ahead since I bought a DualShock 4. Since then, I haven’t been able to get the system out of my head.
As much as I love the first and third iterations of the franchise, Contra as a whole has way more misses than hits. The franchise has struggled to find new ways to freshen up the formula, especially when it haphazardly forayed into 3D. As a spiritual successor to Contra, Hard Corps: Uprising gives the series an anime twist thanks to the handy work of Arc System Works, who are best known for Guilty Gear and BlazBlue.
