Fifa Street
I always used to joke that once a game is released with The Big Pink’s ‘Superman’ as soundtrack I gonna lay down and die. I guess this is it. So long!
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou…
Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3 is probably the Lost of videogames. It’s the end of an era… and some can’t take it.
Journey
Imagine a game without zombies, aliens, terrorists, evil twins and girls making gun sounds. Here’s Journey.
SSX
Actually I didn’t care about the SSX series back then and still I didn’t care about it when SSX was announced in 2010 as SSX: Deadly Descents.
Syndicate
Syndicate is not a milestone but significantly better than most (hyped?) shooters out there. Plus Rosario Dawson is the voice actor for the fem part, yay.
Asura’s Wrath
In this game there’s a demigod bristling with anger fighting to get his girl back. So far so epic but as you can see there’s not much meta going on here. But I love it. It’s a video game. And a good one for sure.
Ash Borer – s/t
Black metal has been prone to hype ever since cascadian bands like Wolves in the Throne Room and Skagos opened the bm door a crack and leaving it ajar until next wave kids like Liturgy and Deafheaven kicked in and pushed bm into broad daylight of mainstream.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
…some elfin thieves hustle some dough that made the orc gang go rampage and the autistic dwarf monk guild don’t respect that the undead have a gothic revival party at the local graveyard…
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.
