Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Impressions

JettLeave a comment

It was only a matter of time before Mortal Kombat tried follow in the footsteps of Marvel vs. Capcom. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe may not have the same ring to it (or make that much sense), though it didn’t necessarily have to. Even though this game came out before Street Fighter IV revitalized the genre, it managed to sell well in its own right.

Years after NetherRealm evolved their formula twice over with the Mortal Kombat reboot and Injustice: Gods Among Us, now is a really odd time for me to play this for the first time. While it’s not necessarily worth going back to play this now, the game isn’t without merit.

Hotline Miami Impressions

JettLeave a comment

Hotline Miami grabbed my attention immediately with its retro art style, gritty story and phenomenal music. Having won me over on style, I wanted to get into this game in the worst way to see where it went. But then the reality of its gameplay set in.

I try out Squigly for the first time while discussing the franchise’s history and how this game weirdly ties into key moments of my life.

Girl Fight Demo Impressions

JettLeave a comment

When fighting games first went mainstream in the 90s, there were a slew of knock-offs that were simply trying to cash in on the craze. I can rhyme off Ballz, Clayfighter and Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi as a few games that fit in this category, though there are dozens – if not hundreds – of other half-baked fighters looking to make a quick buck. While I only played the demo for Girl Fight on Xbox Live Arcade, I’m pretty sure you can add this to the list.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Matches

With a few minutes to spare, I filmed a few random matches in Injustice: Gods Among Us. I love the little kid in the background screaming, “Batman!” as my Bruce Wayne destroyed the Flash.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Review

Jett3 Comments

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale isn’t going to win any awards for originality, though I don’t think that’s the point here. Sony at this point in its life seemingly has the cast of characters and the cache to pull this off, so why not? While this provides a decent Smash Bros.-like experience, the devil is in the details, which it misses in a number of key areas.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Review

JettLeave a comment

Up until this point, I had never played a Sly Cooper game before. During its heyday, I was a big PlayStation hater and wanted nothing to do with Sony’s gaming endeavours. Since I bought a PlayStation 3 a few years back, I’ve been slowly making my way through the platform’s signature franchises. I can now cross Sony’s sneaky raccoon off the list, as I’ve played through Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Admittedly, I didn’t think I’d get much out of this stealth platformer, but it managed to impress nonetheless.

Dishonored Impressions

JettLeave a comment

Dishonored‘s premise is as simple as it gets. Corvo, the empress’ bodyguard, gets framed as her murderer as part of a plot to take over the throne. In the process, the empress’ daughter gets kidnapped. Now he’s out to save the girl, avenge the empress and clear his name.

The game at first blush was far from that for me. Struggling to grasp the game’s systems early on, I fumbled my way through the first mission; killing everyone in my path. Despite eventually completing the mission, the game’s heavy hand on leading you towards the stealthy route sure made me feel like a failure. Having killed 14 bodies in cold blood and the chaos level on high due to those actions, I feared that this wasn’t going to get any better.

Jett Plays DuckTales: Remastered

I take Scrooge McDuck to the moon, which leads to disastrous results. I have since beaten the level, though I didn’t figure out how to use the map until it was too late.
