After hitting the two hour mark, I seemed to have seen everything the game had to offer as far a variety, and the new additions to the game don’t seem to be enough to get people to double dip and purchase it again. Still, it is a decent time for players that are new to the series or haven’t tried this game out before. Just keep in mind, those awesome moves you’re pulling off will get old eventually.

Super Galaxy Squadron is a ton a fun and replayable for old school fans and high score junkies. If you slapped this bad boy into an arcade cabinet and claimed it was some long lost game from the 80’s, I’d totally believe it. That’s probably the best thing I can say about the game, it takes everything from the past, makes it new again, but seemingly old as if it’s a hidden gem.

Playing ATTILA has taught me that this is a series that has a lot going for it. The scale of the battles, the depth of the seemingly innumerable mechanics all point to well-crafted title, but if I were to never play a Total War game again, I’d be perfectly fine with that.

Fans of the series shouldn’t hesitate picking this up, while newcomers will have a much easier time figuring out how to play. Without a doubt, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the best game in the series so far. I highly suggest it to 3DS owners looking for a complex series that can last them well over 100 hours. There’s nothing else like it on the system.

My only concern is fatigue setting in with some players, and the base dwindling. This will kill the game, as playing solo is simply not the route to go. Still, with a healthy amount of content and maps planned I can hope the support continues for months to come. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to the hunt.

The complaints that kept some people from playing it originally have been addressed, and anyone who either passed it up or never had the opportunity before should give it a shot. For those who loved the original like me, happiness awaits. After years of petitioning we have our Majora’s Mask remake, and it’s absolutely worth the time.

Blackguards 2 is not a perfect game and, unfortunately, not the reinvention of its predecessor it could have been. However, the game does ultimately reward a little (well, a lot of) patience, developing into a relatively enjoyable campaign once the player has progressed past the early stages.

Fans of the Telltale adventure games and people looking for something unique in terms of storytelling and mechanics should really give Life is Strange a shot. It sets up a decent premise and keeps the player invested for the 3 hour duration of the episode. I for one enjoyed what I played, even when the dialog became “too hip” for me. I say give it a shot. It most certainly is something very different.

I want to recommend it, but the technical issues not only hampered my enjoyment of the game, at a certain point they completely prevented me from playing it. The core game is fun, but I would recommend sticking with one platform throughout and rotating save slots.

Perhaps a bigger emphasis on characters or story could even go a long way to give players the incentive to continue or get more involved. It’s very possible the game simply isn’t for me, and this will become a niche title. But in my eyes, this is one prison I will simply not be returning to.
