Grand Slam Tennis 2
I remember that I played a tennis game on my Gameboy ages ago. The crowd sounded like a waterfall. I was pretty addicted to it. Anyways. It never triggered me to watch the real deal. Not even an alpha male like Steffi Graf attracted my attention.
Loma Prieta – IV
‘IV’ is finally the record I never suspected, not only keeping up to their debut’s level, but easily surpassing it in any way ending with the fact that this may well be the best emo hardcore record I’ve heard in ages.
A$AP Rocky – LiveLoveA$Ap
A$AP Rocky’s MPC fogs the air in a spa where the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are a long time in coming to soapfight the pulp out of you.
Tekken Hybrid
Tekken Hybrid comes for a budget price and if you skip a meal you can get it pre-owned but still, it’s hardly recommendable in its minimalistic scale.
Unlike U
Scrabbleloving scene dudes hyping Berlin and painting wholetrains. Well do it then if it pleases you.
Drear – We Will Use Your Blood For Fertilizer
When applying for a job means “…go on Google, and search for a job that involves heavy lifting” and our idea of life mainly involves capture, cultivate and consume then it’s time to listen to Drear.
Need for Speed: The Run
There are just so many so much better games than this antics that you’re rightly asking yourself why the hell one should bother.
Uncharted 3 – Drakes Deception
This game has it all, shooting people in the face, pub brawls and climbing abysses, at day and at night, in old Europe and in Africa, on foot and by horse, offshore and ashore, alone and with your sidekicks.
Battlefield 3
I mean navigating a battle jet on a coin is not just fiddly but plain stupid. Even Tom Cruise wouldn’t fly these things.
Catherine
Once you’re over the fact that antihero Vincent Brooks wears the same boxers for over a week you’ll find in Catherine an intense and challenging game with plenty of replay value.
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
I doubt anyone would notice if the game was actually called Allied Assault or Assault Heaven. And besides, where’s Steven Seagal when you need him?
Revival Hymns – Feathers
I travelled to Tampere last winter and went skinny dipping in the frozen Näsijärvi lake. That was awesome.
Fifa 12
It feels like Dance Dance Revolution and nothing like the real thing. And it rains too much in this game. And Fulham is a four and a half star team!?
Ico & Shadow of the Colossus
Ico is like Brangelina on Fort Boyard. It’s a grace that these games got a remaster. I love take the girl and run games.
Resistance 3
Rejoice, the medipack gets a revival. As a partisan of old school gameplay I welcomed it as much as the fact that the alien invasion takes place in a setting other than Kabul or evil corporation headquarters.
Madden NFL 12
It’s Madden, it’s fun – even for people who don’t understand what a middle line backer or tight end does.
NHL 12
It’s probably one of the most challenging things for a games journalist or reviewer to write a text about every sports game update when the games itself basically just follow the formula of ‘same as last year’s game just a bit better’
Shadows of the Damned
I rather laugh over things like Silvio Berlusconi just did edgeplay watersports with bunga bunga Ruby because he ran out of swine blood. This is the kind of kinky sex jokes I can laugh about.
Lich & Resurrectionists – Split EP
This is hands down some edge of the seat stuff and probably again a milestone split release. Top shelve material.
Touché Amoré – Parting The Sea Between Brightness And Me
Sure it’s not the best album you’ve ever heard but still this is the record of the summer.
Deafheaven – Roads to Judah
I never thought that there could be some easy listening black metal but with Wolves in the Throne Room and the likes lowering the threshold it was just a matter of time until scene kids discover that black metal has actually some musical flavor apart from the kvlt grimness.
Alice: Madness returns
I can totally see why critics tear apart little Alice’s wonder land but I won’t queue up with other pundits. Haters gonna hate. I know. I’m usually on of’em. The game has issues. So has she.
Outland
The gameplay is not innovative – combining Prince of Persia with Ikaruga – but in this case nailed to perfection. For a tenner you get a game that has a bad soundtrack, lush graphics and an addition to the genre that should not be missed.
