News::Goat Simulator Review - JumpToGamer

Goat Simulator, developed by Coffee Stain Studios, is a game where you play as a Goat. Simulator games have been a trend lately with games such as Woodcutting Simulator and Helicopter Simulator, so why not throw goats into the equation. The only difference between those other simulator games and Goat Simulator is that its basically a parody of the genre. Goat Simulator is simply a massive sandbox that exists solely for you to cause mass chaos and destruction. There arent any overarching goals, endings, or reasoning behind anything in Goat Simulators world. Its simply pointless fun.

News::Assassins Creed: What Went Wrong With Desmond Miles?

OnlySP: With the reveal of Assassins Creed Unity coming this Holiday 2014, I began to look back on the series as a whole. While I can praise Assassins Creed for delivering a unique experience that is akin to a history simulator with an engrossing story of a war between Assassins and Templars, I felt incredibly let down by the modern aspect of the game. The story of Desmond Miles began as an incredible premise but left many dissatisfied as it went on. What started as a big bang culminated with a quiet whimper. Lets discuss.

Kevin - "Upon booting up the game and being asked how large I wanted my Galaxy to be, I was then asked to create my character. There are different classes to choose from, from Prospectors whom are better at mining asteroids to Scouts who have more levelling up options when it comes to piloting. Traders, Fighters and Engineers are as they sound, while the Adventurer class, which I picked, is described as a Jack of all trades build with no specialisation but with options to pursue any path you wish."

News::IM PLAYIN - Dark Souls II

IM PLAYIN gives their first thoughts on Dark Souls II "The first Spring Break of my college career was epic. Not only did my birthday fall smack-dab in the middle of it, but Dark Souls II, the sequel to my favourite game of all time, came out as well. Who wants to pay for a trip to Florida when I can take a stroll through Drangleic? At this point, I would probably prefer the trip to Florida. This game is brutal. Dont get me wrong though, Im loving every second of it. Im about 30 hours in and Ive died 113 times, which, honestly, isnt too bad considering my death count was probably triple that in the original."

News::Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Review | Polygon

Polygon: "Of course, most developers would commit crimes to have players ask that kind of question of their games. Reaper of Souls is a Blizzard expansion through and through, an example of the developer's willingness to re-examine every decision to make a game that old players can find new again, and new players can get into just as easily. Even after giving away big pieces of its best changes for free, Reaper of Souls demonstrates the kind of add-on that makes other expansions seem stingy by comparison, reinvigorating an already great game."

News::Final Fantasy XIV: Ten Reasons Why You Should Come Back

"Almost eight months following the release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on PC and PS3, the game has undergone a lot of changes including new content and improvements. Throughout these past several months since its release, people have come and gone, with those who have left waiting on Square Enix to entice them with the right additions. When Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn was released, the end-game content was bare. Its not bad at all compared to other MMOs, but the motivation to keep playing quickly dried out. Since its launch, the game has received two major patches that adds a lot of new content and will surely give people more reasons to come back." -JPS

Sticking to its pay-to-play model rather than free-to-play, Zenimax and Bethesda stand by their decision as they try to prove that what they now offer (and will offer) in The Elder Scrolls Online is a unique experience and something worth paying for in the months to come." -JPS

GFN: Diablo III: Reaper of Souls is the expansion to Blizzards Diablo III. The expansion adds a new class, the crusader; a fifth act to the storyline; a new game mode, adventure mode; a new artisan, the mystic and ten more levels, making the level cap 70. There was also a pre-expansion patch to the game that greatly overhauled the game by removing the auction house and improving the loot system, among other things. The patch is available to all players, not just those with Reaper of Souls, and is a fantastic improvement to the game, so now is a great time to pick up Diablo III if you were put off by the initial incarnation. Heres a look at the content exclusive to the new expansion.

We Got This Covered wrote: Tribute Games could not have picked a better name for their company. Their latest effort, Mercenary Kings, is the second title from the relatively young developer, with their first effort being Wizorb, an enjoyable Arkanoid/Breakout clone with the added twist of RPG elements. Mercenary Kings, on the other hand, pays tribute to classic run and gun shooters such as Metal Slug and Contra. And much like Wizorb, Mercenary Kings also does its best to make the old new again, by adding a considerable amount of depth through the careful use of design elements from other genres.
