Destroy all humans is kind of like a Sci Fi movies from the 60’s or 70’s in video game form.  After a space ship accidentally gets a bit to close to missile launch and knocked out of the sky, our main character Crypto is sent to help save his race by taking over the human race in the name of the Furon Empire so they can extract DNA hidden deep inside humanity so they can save their own race.

The graphics have been updated nicely and the controls work well. The writing has aged well and is pretty funny in its own right, but do not go into this game expecting a serious experience. The very beginning for example sees Crypto attempting to speak with cows since he feels they may be the dominate species. Turns out not so much obviously, the game however is worth playing for many reasons, but I won’t spoil that on you. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Lords of the Fallen is an attempt at mimicking the success of the Dark Souls and Bloodborne craze. Having played many games of the genre i can honestly say Lords of the Fallen isn’t bad, it simply isn’t as good. The controls work well and the magic does what it is supposed to, tho there isn’t much variety in it. The weapons have the same as other games of its type, big swords that are slow smaller quicker short swords meant to be paired with a shield axes and so on, all of which do exactly what you would thing and requiring different amounts of points in each stat to equip and use.

The story itself follows something similar to the soulsborne series as well, and by that I mean its there if you want to go looking for it, tho here it is much easier to find. The game is also easier than your average soulsborne game. All in all if you can grab this on sale ( or like me got it free on PSN a while back) it is worth playing, but I wouldn’t spend more than $10 or so. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Warframe is one of those free games on PlayStation everyone said hey savior play, sp I downloaded it and then didn’t touch it for months. Then they kept saying hey join us. Then I found other stuff to play and again I got messages on Facebook from friends. So I broke down and played it. I now regret waiting so long. The idea is actually pretty simple. You awaken as someone attempts to force you into helping them and you fight back. What follows is the typical MMO stuff. Kill stuff and you grind for new gear and items and do various missions. Unlike the others I have played tho, you are essentially a ninja. My character for example shoots people with arrows throws knives and stabs people with a sword. A friend has a shotgun that basically staple guns people to walls and another guy I gamed with for awhile could create this bubble that we could shoot out of but people could not shoot into. The different frames all have different abilities.

There are all sorts of things to collect and power up that you can equip on your frames and weapons, which actually seems to be the best way to power yourself up and make a massive difference in the game. At the price of “free” it is a must play game, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is basically the dream game for most fans of the Dragon Ball fans. You create a character from one of the races in the series, then help protect the timeline of the series in an original story made for the game. As you go through various events you unlock different repeatable battles you can fight in to unlock new moves, level up or even train with masters to learn their moves or be given items you can use to increase the abilities of your person or just make them look better. The fighting mechanics are fluid and easy to learn but to learn the abilities you want can take a lot of time and effort. The game and sound are nice tho, so the time spent playing will be nice, but the game is clearly meant for fans of the series. Anyone that isn’t will want to stay very clear of this one, however if you are a fan this is absolutely a must buy. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Terraria is one of those games I had zero interest in playing and my daughter pretty much followed me around saying  ” dad dad dad dad dad dad”..ok so it wasn’t quite like that but it was close enough. It is quite a bit like 2D Minecraft actually. You explore, chop down trees or dig to find resources, fight monsters  and build structures. People will move in, you can interact with them and buy things from them. There are also bosses and such you can fight. The game isn’t bad if you like that sort of thing. Fans of Minecraft and other games of that type will actually really enjoy this, but it really is for that market. Others may want to avoid it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

For honor..I have avoided reviewing this game for months. I have played it for PlayStation 4 and on the Xbox One X and I have to say I have dreaded reviewing this game. I know some people are going to review this game and say hell yea savior. I agree. Others are going to read this and say nah they fixed that. So I will say this. I played this from 3 days after launch until about a month later for PS4, then of XB1 I played it just last week. I have played this more than most people gave it the chance. I don’t even hate the game, quite the opposite actually. I am disappointed in how it was treated.

The game itself is simply beautiful. Regardless of system that can’t be denied, the game looks great. I never experienced any frame rate issues or any major glitches or anything of the sort. The sound was top notch, the controls worked fluidly and as it should have. Now some of you will be wondering, whats with that entire top paragraph. First and least of all, the grind or money required to unlock it all is in my opinion completely unreasonable, tho I don’t see it as pay to win. Skill and strategy can work wonders. My biggest issue? The matchmaking is one of the worst out there. I have waited double waited so long for matches people I was playing with have just said screw it and quit. People I know have some real patience for this sort of thing. If that wasn’t bad enough, many many times after that wait the game has simply disconnected.  Not just for me, teammates have been kicked mid match. Especially in that first month I don’t think I played a single game where a team had every member play the entire round.

Now to give credit where it is do it has come a long way and they are doing even more to fix it, but for me it is far to little and to late to bring me back. What should have been a game of the year contender has been turned into a laughing stock to many. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
