Game Review: Bastion

     Alrighty, I know it's been almost a year since I've posted something(I've had A LOT going on for a while). But if I've done anything the same as I always do it's play video games.
     The latest one being Bastion. I played the demo of this game when it first came out and fell in love with everything about it.
     The game-play in this game was amazing. You easily could get around in the world you were playing in. The combat was intense and fun all at the same time, you could choose to be a lone gunslinger or go all out and beat the crap out of your enemies. The art in this game was just awesome too, soon after starting this game I was totally sucked in by how clean cut the images were and the animations of your character "the kid". And last but definitely not least, the music, the first time I started up the game I was tempted to just lay on my bed and listen to it. Each level had it's own personality with the help of the music. You were in a town one level edging to the forest, then in the next level the music sucked you in yet again and made you feel like you were in a wet and abandoned forest fighting for your life.
     The story of this game is amazing too. So much so I beat it in almost two sittings(long sittings at that). You start off waking up on a floating rock and as you start walking it's like the ground is telling you where to go by forming into trails for you to walk on. You start off in a town after "the calamity" has taken place, the ground takes you to the "Bastion"(a place everyone in the town should go to when something bad happens). But when you get there you only find one person, you just call him the "Stranger" for you never know his name. He tells you what has happened to the Bastion and that it is in need of repair. The only way to repair it is to go out into the "Wilds" and find cores. Once you do that you fix up the Bastion and find out even more secrets about the Bastion and what happened when the calamity struck.
     Although the whole game is amazing, I think my personal favorite thing about the game is the fact that the stranger is narrating. But yeah, in the end I highly recommend this game to all the people that actually read my blog.

Game Preview: Dead Island

   Hey you...yes you, stop looking around the room. You and I both know you're sitting there alone. Are you one of those people that love games where your enemy's flesh is falling off the bone and they have a hunger for you brain(no matter how small it be)? Well if that's you than I think I found a pretty high end game for you. If you haven't already found out it's called Dead Island.
   But from what I've gotten from my(little) research you're obviously on an island trying to survive while everyone around you is getting their brain ripped from their head as you're fighting to get to the safe zone.
   If you haven't seen the trailer of this game you're really missing out, it looks amazing and I cant complain about it. And from what I've seen of gameplay it's not going to disappoint very many people in my high and mighty opinion.
   The gameplay of Dead Island look smooth to say the least. But for a better opinion I'll have to get my hands on a copy and try it out first hand.
   From a few pictures I've glanced at this game looks like it'll have a grand verity of fun but gory weapons. For example, I saw one that was a machete with a electric glow on it. To me a game with loads of different weapons is a great game that will make an impact on its audience.
   All in all this game looks and I'm guessing plays great and I can't wait to play it.

Game Review: Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

   Have you ever wanted to be a tiny alien inside your own U.F.O. destroying organic life forms that are taking over your planet? Well if you said yes to any of these things, this game is for you. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a visually stunning and to say the least creepy game. As you use tools found along your journey at your disposal you will unlock bits and pieces about what this opposing force is doing to your planet and locations of where your next "big discovery" will be.
   As the game starts you find your planet being overrun by this black force that seems to be organic, but at the same time mechanical. So you jump into your U.F.O. and head out to try and find out what's going on. You start out with a scanner tool that helps greatly along the game, telling you what enemies are weak against or what tool to use to get around the next obstacle.
   All-in-all this game amazed me greatly, it also offers co-op for those of you who love working together.

Game Review: Darkspore

"A new breed of action-RPG"
   The motto for MAXIS' new game Darkspore. This game features a mind-blowing amount of customization to the point of which I didn't know what to do with myself. It was a game that I had heard about but never really looked into at all, but when I did I found myself loving this game.
   It has a healthy amount of exploration and guided gameplay to keep me interested for longer than the average game. The multiplayer is extremely fun with your friends or even complete strangers. And the fact that you can mix up your squads made this game rare, but at the same time it didn't venture too far from your normal RPG's.
   So in my personal opinion I would recommend this game to anybody that's looking for a great way to have fun.
