Run DLC
Gears of War Judgment: Call to Arms

By Mehran Malek - May 15th, 2013

It’s DLC time again¹ for the latest in the Gears of War franchise! This time around though, unless you bought the season pass, it’s not free and will instead set you back 1000 MSP. So what does your 1000 MSP get you? A surprisingly decent amount of value. There are three new multi-player maps, six weapon and armor skins, and my personal favorite: a new multi-player game-play mode called Master at Arms.

Run DLC
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Revolution

It’s not really that new, but the DLC Map pack called Revolution (for Black Ops 2) that hit the market a few weeks ago is still hella fun. This DLC includes 4 multi-player maps, a new Zombie map and for the first time ever: a new weapon.

Assassin’s Creed III
The Tyranny of King Washington – The Betrayal

By Jorge Figueiredo - April 7th, 2013

The conclusion of The Infamy DLC in the Tyranny of King Washington DLC story arc for Assassin’s Creed III showed Ratonhnhaké:ton on his way to Boston¹. The next chapter, called The Betrayal, takes place entirely in Boston. Normally, confining an adventure to one city might seem like a boring idea – but not so in this case. In fact, there is a fair amount of excitement and challenge in store for the player as the story hurtles along its arc, making this second chapter of the King Washington storyline compelling and fun to play.

Worth ITrying?
Pantheon the Legends

By Jorge Figueiredo - March 28th, 2013

pnthn-1

RedAtoms’ Pantheon the Legends is a card-battling game with a bit of a mythic twist. Featuring single-player “quest” play and asynchronous multi-player battles, Pantheon looks to appeal to the masses with some interesting takes on the genre. However, I’m not sure how much people will enjoy this game, as the genre is already saturated with similar games.

Math QuizUp

By Jorge Figueiredo - March 21st, 2013

A little while ago, I reviewed an iOS title called Video Game QuizUp that put your videogame knowledge to the test. Well, Plain Vanilla Games has another game in their stables that follows the same basic idea, except that the subject is math. Math QuizUp will either make you feel like a math whiz or like an idiot, depending on your performance. The trick is, you’ll never know how good you are until you try.

Luigi’s Mansion
Multi-player

By Ricky Lima - March 18th, 2013

You can check out my write up on Luigi’s Mansion single-player here; but I recently had the chance to try out the multi-player component in Luigi’s Mansion for the 3DS. Imagine traditional dungeon crawlers mixed with Ghostbusters, that’s kind of what the multi-player is like. From the brief time that I got to spend playing it: I had a blast.
