  • King’s Quest: A Knight to Remember

    Having grown up playing the original King’s Quest games – not all, but a bunch, and I still have quite vivid memories of playing King’s Quest V, which at the time had cutting edge visuals for an adventure game – I was pretty excited at the idea of revisiting that world, especially as it looked…

    I’d forgotten just how much I love Journey. The game was re-released on PS4 recently, and since it’s cross-buy (as with all Thatgamecompany games) I had the PS3 version and so suddenly had access to this version. Last night, after completing the first episode of King’s Quest, I was looking to play something else before…

    I thought this game looked fun when I first saw a trailer for it a few months ago, and having played it now, it’s even better than I was hoping. Yeah, sure, playing soccer while driving cars sounds incredibly weird and nonsensical, but it really is a blast to play, with the driving controls perfectly…

    I didn’t really know much about this game before playing it (it’s one of the PS+ free downloads this month), beyond that the screenshots I had seen looked pretty. Ends up that it takes a bit from Tempest, along with the idea of using the two analog sticks to control two separate entities (think Brothers).…

    Picked this up now that it’s out on PS4, and yeah, this is so up my alley. Haven’t played a good shooter (as in shmup) in ages, and the visuals on this are fantastic. Haven’t played that much yet, but I’ve certainly enjoyed what I’ve experienced so far (the first couple of chapters). The one…

  • Riptide GP2

    Picked this up because I miss Wave Race so much, and just want to race on water with decent visuals. The fact that it’s only $7 on PS4 made it an easy sell, as well as hearing that it’s from the same people behind last generation’s Hydro Thunder revival, a game I had a lot…

  • Rayman Legends

    Another game I’m buying for the second time thanks to that PSN E3 sale is Rayman Legends on PS4 (I had previously bought it for Vita). I absolutely loved this game on Vita (and loved Rayman Origins too) and so I figured that at the price they had it for ($16), it was worth revisiting…

    Another game I picked up in the PSN E3 sale is Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. I played through and loved this game when it came out on PS3 (although I did get annoyed at some of the overlong shooting sequences) and seeing the gameplay for the next one got me excited for the series again,…

  • Dragon Age: Inquisition

    I bought a few games through the PSN E3 sale, including Dragon Age: Inquisition, which I’ve been patiently waiting to play. I’m a big fan of the series, having played through the first two and enjoying both (yes, even the second one, despite its many flaws), and so far (4-6 hours in) this entry is…

    Yet another PS+ free game I was happy to get, I’m having a lot of fun with CounterSpy so far. I remember that it got so-so reviews when it came out, but I was always really attracted to the stylish art direction, 2D gameplay, and, well, I just really like spy stuff. I’ve only had…
