News::Softpedia- Blood of the Werewolf Review

SP:Indie games are very popular nowadays and their release rate seems to grow with each month. Among them we find Blood of the Werewolf, an homage to the platformer genre that features a Gothic setting and enough blood to quench the thirst for gore. Will this game manage to separate itself from the pack and shine bright in the sky of indie creations?

News::Batman: Arkham Origins Review - Stealthy Box

"Prequels are tricky territory, but also the only feasible route for a game not developed by Rocksteady, as they probably have a corkboard in their studio lined with plot points and yarn dictating what they want for the series moving forward. WB Montreals hands were tied, but the result is still a tremendous disappointment." - Joe Garcia

News::IGN Spain- Battlefield 4 Review

IGN:Battlefield 4 is is a twelve-course feast for fans of multiplayer shooters. It will take months and months to be able to exploit all the possibilities of fun that offers its various game modes and those gigantic scenarios that mutate before our eyes, making each race something as epic as unpredictable. If you have a powerful PC, or are thinking of buying a next generation console, get ready for one of the largest military spectacles of recent times. IF you stay true to your PS3 or Xbox 360, will cry to heaven to see some graphic outrages, but at least they do not affect the playability of a title cut as the FPS Fanatic online.

News::Review: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

[Editor's Note: Before you immediately scroll down to the bottom and wonder where the score is, know that this is a scoreless review.]


When approaching a game like Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, you really need to ask yourself what you want from an MMO in 2013. If you want to ride the free-to-play wave, head elsewhere since ARR has a monthly subscription fee. If you want an MMO that breaks the mold and revolutionizes the genre, you won't find it here either.


What you will find, however, is one of the most polished, satisfying, welcoming, and beautiful MMOs out there.

News::RockPaperShotgun- Forced Review

RPS:Forced sees you controlling a little dude in a top down combat arena, and unlocking powers as you play, but its no Diablo-like RPG. This, instead, is a game of taking on various arena challenges with monsters to fight, puzzles to resolve, and environmental dangers to avoid while working with a chum. Theres no loot, the single player is basically a mega-tutorial which explains all the possible challenges youll face in game, and character persistence is only about making your character more versatile within the gladiatorial circumstances you find yourself in. The idea behind this game is to develop player skill, not to level with the magical grind of clicking.

News::Gamespot- Forced Review

GS:I constantly yearn for an unfamiliar experience, one that forms the basis for a new game genre or at least combines a few established standards to produce something pleasingly different. Forced, a PC game that deposits you in an arena for some cooperative mayhem, attempts the latter feat and very nearly succeeds until it dedicates itself too fully to the quest to offer a challenge.

"With Halloween occurring this week, it was no surprise to see lots of appropriately themed digital releases and sales on PSN, eShop, XBLA and Steam. Konami has finally decided to show its face on the Wii U Virtual Console, releasing the classic Super Castlevania IV for $8, or $1.50 if you already have it transferred from your Wii. You ought to give the official eShop trailer a gander. Whoever made that knows what makes the game especially great: the fact that you can moonwalk up staircases. The game also happens to have one of the best SNES soundtracks in existence, you should read my loving Liner Notes piece on it. PSN and Xbox Live users arent left out of the Castlevania loop: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate HD is now available for download, taking the former 3DS exclusive and giving it an HD paint job." - Patrick Kulikowski

Although this final version of the game incorporates all the DLCs under one roof, the changes most fans are probably looking forward to include improved graphics, a new game plus mode that lets you carry over your character from a previously completed save file, and, last but not least, overhauled boss fights that intend to fix one of the original game's biggest flaws.

More trailers and details for the game are released, just hyping you up more until the game comes out. But sometimes, when the game comes out, its not everything you expected.

"Eldritch's various components tend to work quite well on their own, and create most of a great Roguelike.

Because of this, Eldritch can't quite take its place with the best of them."

"That's a lot of bad news to take in, and it may lead you to think that Batman: Arkham Origins isn't quite excellent. It's not, and while it is partially a victim of the standard set by the series before, it never seems to justify its decisions. This younger Batman is paradoxically stuck in his future ways, his game re-calibrated into a lopsided, combat-heavy flashback. And as the confused time travelers that we are in this chronology, we can express disappointment when we realize his best days are yet to come - like they did already."
