Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Review

Call of Duty is one of the most successful video game franchises in the world and every year around Veteran’s Day a new edition is released.  This year was the sequel to Treyarch’s Black Ops simply titled Black Ops 2.  Will Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 deliver? I’ve personally preferred Infinity Ward’s CoD games more than Treyarch however I really enjoyed Black Ops and had high hopes for the sequel.  The first thing that stands out in Black Ops 2 is the futuristic setting which many fans felt was a mistake.  In reality the game is about 70% in the year 2025 and 30% in the 1980’s.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Review

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is the sequel to one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences in recent years. Can the title live up to the first game? The short answer is yes the game lives up to the expectations and exceeds it.  The game picks up right after the first title.  The Autobots are trying to leave Cybertron in desperation as Megatron and the Decepticons are controlling the planet.

The first mission starts with a bang as the Ark is being ambushed by Megatron.  This mission has you playing Bumblebee and ... Read More »

I’ve always been a Transformers fan.  I enjoyed the cartoons as a child,  played with the toys,  and I’ve watched the live action movies several times.  The one thing that I’ve always wanted from Transformers,  was a good video game.  When I first heard that High Moon Studios had begun work on a Transformers game,  I had low expectations. My first concern was that the game would be a movie based game.  As most gamers know,  almost all movie based games suffer from low budgets,  rushed deadlines and horrible results.  Once I learned that the game was going to have it’s own story and not be tied to any movie,  I was relieved. Transformers: War for Cybertron was released in June 2010.  I purchased the game the week it came out and couldn’t wait to play it.  WFC is an ... Read More »
