I played Dragon Age Origins after it first released and fell in love with the game almost instantly. The story, the world, the characters it was all amazing. I never got around to playing its sequel which I hear may be a good thing. Finally we come to Dragon Age Inquisition. This game has a lot going for it. The story is fun and engrossing, the battle system is nice the characters are great and the world itself is as amazing as it ever was.

There is a but coming to this. Mixed in with all that greatness was some of the most boring game play I have seen lately. The worlds are huge but mostly empty with areas that randomly rocket the level of the enemies seemingly at random. And if you attempt to do everything the game has to offer you as it becomes available you will quickly be so insanely over powered the already repetitive game play becomes tedious in a way I can’t even begin to accurately describe. Many people love this game, I am simply not one of them. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

This game as you would expect revolves around helping a detective deal with various issues and digital hackers in the digital world while you raise and train various digital monsters know as digimon.

The game play itself is essentially a turn based RPG. You gather experience points and as your monsters grow stronger you digivolve them into bigger and stronger creatures.

The story is engaging and the battle system requires quite a bit of strategy which surprised me, the graphics and sound are stunning. My only real issue is the game for me got very repetitive pretty quickly. The more devote digimon fans probably won’t even notice that most of the missions are pretty much the same over and over again. That’s not to say it isn’t a solid and fun game because it is, it simply wasn’t for me. Now get out there and save the digital world, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

What would you get if you combined the 80’s classic Contra with a ton of 80’s action movies? You get Bro Force. Its a side scrolling action adventure with various characters each with a different weapon such as a machine gun (Rambo style) or a cyborg that looks strangely like Robocop. The controls and graphics are both Nice and they really nailed the classic contra feel as well as that classic contra difficulty. I picked it up as a free game way back for the PS4 when it was a months free game and it was truly one of those finds I’d have missed otherwise as its not the typical game I play. Of you get the chance to pick it up on same it would be a decent buy, have fun and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Mercenaries Saga 2 is the story of Claude a Captain attempting to help the prince after an assassination attempt leaves him poisoned and attempting to find him the antidote. The story is pretty run of the mill but acceptable. Graphically the game isn’t impressive but its a 3ds game after all.

The battle system itself is a tactical rpg much like Final Fantasy Tactics and the story scenes play out in much the same way. The game also allows you to do a sort of training missions to level up which I highly encourage you to do. Other than that there isn’t much to say about the game, it is simply an average tactics style rpg, remember to stay safe and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Oh animal crossing. A game where you may or may not be enslaved by some weird animal cult.  That aside the game is a lot of fun. From collecting all the fish and insects in the game to digging up fossils and meeting the neighbors there are plenty of things to do. For the more decorated minded as you take out bigger and bigger loans to make your house bigger there is an astronomical number of different furniture to collect. The game moves in legitimate real time, holidays fall on real life holidays for example and the town reacts accordingly.

For those that aren’t a fan of collecting things honestly you will probably have a bad time here. Outside of collecting and decorating your house these games offer very little, tho I hate that stuff and have had a great time with the game. As always thanks for your time and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Disgaea 5 is a turn based tactical RPG. As traditionally with this series you play a demon in hell on a quest for revenge that also happens to coincide with stopping saving the demon world from destruction. The game has some rather weird characters that are easy to enjoy, tho the series obsession with sardines is still a little weird to me. One character even steals a quote from the rock (the wrestler) and of course he is completely jacked.

There are also in game options that let you increase or decrease the level of opponents to insane levels, go on side quest inside of items to make them stronger and even bribe people in the senate to pass laws and stuff that let you recruit new and stronger characters. It is a very different and interesting sort of game that any RPG fan would do well to check out. As always thanks for your time and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

I have no idea why I am reviewing this game. Seriously I think its just a throw back to the old days of playing in arcades and games like this being the only ones that i didn’t suck at.

So you basically have 2 options, hunt deer or hunt elk. The shooting works nicely and the game is very entertaining with friends even tho they steal your kills, looking at you Torsten. The wooded scenes look different enough to stay interesting but not so different to feel like a different game.

There however is not much to the game. Shoot some deer or elk and occasionally some small game or mountain lion, try to get a high score and repeat. It is a home arcade game in just about every way, and I oddly enjoy it. As always thanks for your time and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
