Express.co.uk is reporting that Red Dead online will be released by the end of the month as well as info discovered by data miners, such as the ability to inform the law when other players break the law. This, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt as none of this comes from the source, but feel free to click the link and check it out, and if you still haven’t picked this game up I will put some Amazon links at the bottom so you can do so and help us out at the same time. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

From The Creator of Undertale, Deltarune
Gamespot is reporting that the creator of Undertale, Toby Fox, has released a new and free game called Deltarune, tho it does seem that the 2 games are connected as he does specifically tell people that completed Undertale to check the Undertale Twitter account. Either way, it could be worth it for fans to check out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Warcraft 3: Reforged
The big news recently seems to be people are upset about the mobile version of Diablo which hey, I get it. I will probably give it a shot but I get it. For me, however, the huge news is Warcraft 3: Reforged. Why? Because I loved Warcraft 2. Actually, I am probably one of the few that played it on the Original PlayStation. So a remaster of three is exciting. If you want more info check Polygon. Or you can just watch the trailer below. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Minion Masters (PC)
Minion Masters was a game that a few days ago I had never heard of, but a friend of mine @SirFeliciano tossed me a copy on Steam. Told me the game looked cool but he didn’t have time to play it so I should check it out. He gave me a quick run down and that was it. So, I love free stuff, so I gave it a whirl.
Minion Masters by Betadwarf and is quite the simple concept. Each player takes a side and sends monsters after the other person. Those monsters will kill each other and attack the other player when they reach it by crossing one of two bridges. Once your hit points are gone, you lose. In typical monster summoning fashion mana will determine what monster you can summon, the higher the cost the more powerful the creature.
The game has an excellent tutorial to explain how everything works and will get you into the game fast. After that, you will jump right into the game and quickly be playing against real people in either one on one or team battles. Graphically the game looks good and the sound is great, but the gameplay is where it really stands out. The action is fun, fast and can be quite intense at times. The game is in early access, but honestly, it plays great and I see no reason why it won’t get better. By all means, go check it out over at their website. http://www.minionmastersthegame.com/ Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Sega Forever Shining Force 2
Shining Force 2 is one of my all time favorite games and I don’t even have to stop and think if this belongs on the list. Once again I will not be giving you a full review simply saying how it works on android. Which is a good thing, because it doesn’t. The game is actually quite unplayable. It sounds and Looks good but as soon as you start to fight and use a spell with Sara the games healer the game freezes and quite honestly the game is essentially useless that way. This I am sure will eventually be fixed but until that day, don’t waste your time. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Sega Forever:Shining Force
Shining Force has been a game I have enjoyed for a long time so it being added to Sega Forever was pretty exciting for me. Now I will be reviewing Shining Force one and Two separately but they do come in one download with Shining in the Darkness. Obviously as I have already reviewed the game I won’t be fully reviewing it but more saying how it plays on android.
For starters it looks and sounds as good or better than the original release so have no worries there. The controls are a bit stiff tho but truthfully they were always a bit stiff but sadly this feels even more noticeable on a cell phone. This isn’t a deal breaker by any means but honestly if you have access to it on one of the many collections that it is available on you really should go with one of those unless you really want it to play on the go. It is definitely playable, but it isn’t the best way to experience it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Breaks Sales Record
To the surprise of nobody anywhere Red Dead 2 sales are off the charts with over 700 million done in the first three days. $725 million to be exact according to Forbes which would make it the biggest opening weekend in entertainment history. Not gaming, entertainment. The biggest opening in entertainment history counting the entire week however belongs to Grand Theft Auto V with over a billion dollars, meaning the 2 biggest launches in entertainment history belong to Rockstar, which is pretty impressive. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
5 Of My Favorite Multiplayer Games
Before I start I should say that these aren’t in any order and they certainly aren’t on the list because I consider them to be the best, they simply are on the list because they were fun for me personally at one point in my life.
Mario Party 2 was responsible for many sleepless nights in my childhood. My best friend and I would play this for hours and when I got older we would play it as a drinking game and I will even go so far as to say this game has helped my sex life. That isn’t a joke by the way, it really did. How can this game not be one of my favorites?
Goldeneye 007 is another N64 era game that I spent a ton of time playing as a child, but don’t go play it now. It did not hold up very well. The game was amazing, and me and my friends spent tons of hours killing each other. Proximity mines to this day piss me off and giving everyone rocket launchers was still a hilarious idea. And yes that short bastard was cheating.
Battlefield 4 is obviously more recent, and is actually the only game on the list me and @torstenvblog played together. We would do ok but mostly we would try to kill each other by flying planes into buildings and such. We always had a good time. He was the worlds worst battle buddy tho to be honest.
Diablo 3 is that classic kill and loot rpg that you either love or hate, and me and my daughter have spent hours playing it together. We have quite different taste in games so when we actually find one we like it always feels special to me. It is why this game and the nest are on the list actually.
7 Days to Die is a survival game where you essentially gather supplies, build a base and kill zombies and on every 7th day a huge horde tries to kill you. This game may be my favorite on the list not only because of the hours and hours me and my daughter spent playing it but because of the countless hours spent playing it with friends. It is far from the best game out there and probably isn’t even the best on the list, but it is the best on the list in terms of value for me. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Project Hospital
As some of you may remember it wasn’t to long ago Oxymoron Games Hooked me up with a beta of Project hospital, which you can see my thoughts on here. Well the game today, and the fine folks at Oxymoron games were kind enough to toss us a copy last week so we could review it. It is always appreciated and never goes unnoticed to be chosen.
I won’t go into too much detail about the beta, you can go back and read that yourselves if you are interested. But a lot of things have changed. The graphics don’t appear to be greatly changed but do seem a bit more polished, the tutorials are still intact as you would expect but now there is full on campaign and challenge modes. (screen shots taken before they were played)
As you would expect each one gets a bit more challenging as you unlock each one new level. There are also more options for the sandbox mode.
There are various sizes of empty fields to build your own hospital or different pre-started hospitals, and you can even turn off deaths. If you turn off deaths the patients will simply be taken to a new hospital.
The game play is solid and is more simulation oriented than you will find in Two Point Hospital and less about laughs. ( Not that i have an issue with that, loved Theme Hospital) There are a few issues with the game however, for example tutorial 3 had a small glitch where the doctors and nurses wouldn’t treat the patient but when I restarted it I had no issues at all and once when patients were going into an x-ray room the chose to go outside and around the side of the building and hopped on the machine thru the wall. It was actually kind of humorous and was probably caused by my placement of the machine but realistically shouldn’t have happened and will probably be patched anyway.
Neither of these issues took away from my enjoyment of the game,but I felt obligated to mention them regardless. The day-to-day running of the hospital, the ambulances coming and going can all be very exciting. There is also the new twist of managing a day and night shift of the hospital which was a different and yet nice experience. Once while playing he day shift left and I realized i had zero doctors on my night shift to run my emergency room.
The game isn’t perfect but no games are, and if you love simulation and tycoon games this one is worth checking out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Razerewire:Nanowars
Over the weekend I got to talking to one of the guys making Empire In Ruins ( you can learn more about that here Empire In Ruins, Revisited.) and he hooked me up with another game he made with Screwdriver&Pigeons. You can find them on Twitter here @screwdriver&pigeons or here @eir_td ,where they are making Empire in Ruins. They are great guys that always seem to make time to for fans so go give them a follow.
As for Razerwire, I was not sure what to expect. I kind of thought I was getting an Indy twin stick shooter that I would play for an hour think it was pretty neat then never touch again because I don’t much enjoy them. This is not at all what I got. What I got was an easy to play hard to master addictive game that had me saying one more round for 5 hours the day I started playing it. In fact I said “I just want to get into the top 10” on the global leaderboard then the top 5, well at the time of writing this I am #1 in both score and kills.
Graphically the game has a very nice retro feel to it with the bugs and colors looking great and the ever-changing background never-failing to match what it is going on.
Free advice by the way, don’t shoot the jack-o-lanterns. The controls are flawless, they work off your mouse and you simply slide it around your wire follows you around the screen killing the enemies, with a catch. If you go to fast it will go thru the enemies without killing them. This isn’t a glitch or anything, the game actually warns of this and tells you it has something to do with particles or something. There are also numerous power ups to help you in your quest to knock me off the top of the leaderboards.
The icons to the left will upgrade your overall abilities such as how fast shields recharge or max health. The icons to the right are all your semi randomly appearing power ups. They do various things from killing everything on the screen to slowing down enemy movements.
The game is fun and oddly addictive and at its price point of $2 ($3 if you want the DLC) there is honestly no reason to not try this game out, so head on over to Steam and give it a shot. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
