Ironically, in this vein, the things I like most about Legend of Solgard are the things that would dissuade more casual players from continuing throughout the game. The game’s RPG-inspired progression system in-tandem with its role-playing turn-based strategy elements breath longevity into each facet of the game. In this regard, tried and true mid-core gamers will feel right at home. For every middle-aged Bubble Witch Saga player that Legend of Solgard may lose due its various mechanics, it will gain just as many die-hard Clash of Clans fans. For every possible critique that one could lobby against the different systems and mechanics working in Legend of Solgard , the game would almost certainly be less fun–or at the very least–less addicting without t
AHIII: I would love to be able to cast at a professional level where that could be my career. Right now, I’m an IT guy; I’m a systems engineer and my job is really cool. They let me work remotely while I was doing [ Heroes of the ] Dorm . That was an experience because they all know what I’m doing but, conceptually, I’m on vacation, I’m not there. No, I’m working two full-time jobs. I didn’t really have much free time to really do anything. I just love what I’m doing h
Shovel Knight was released back in 2014 but it just wasn’t enough. Luckily, Yacht Club Games came out with a whole new storyline and adventure centered around Plague Knight with Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows. In it we’re playing as one of the bad guys as we go off to do bad guy things, but is Plague Knight really all that bad? He’s definitely one of the most interesting characters in the game and ditching the shovel in favor of potions and explosives is a great change of pace. Altering the story to fit Plague Knight is a great addition to the classic NES-style platformer. Playing through all the same levels we’re used to but as a different character bring a new perspective to the world. We can only hope every knight will get their chance in the spotlight.
Code Name S.T.E.A.M. is a remarkable game for a couple of reasons. It’s a turn-based strategy game set in a steam punk past, the action is simple to understand and the storyline is unique. As a special agent, taking orders from the President of the United States is part of the job; especially if those orders are to eradicate swarms of alien armies. Combining characters from literary classics makes it an even more fantastical journey. It’s the kind of game you’d usually see on PC, which makes it being on the 3DS refreshing for fans of strategy games.
Mario is not only a staple in video game history; he is THE pinnacle of the industry. His games have defined what it means to be a video game. But guess what? I can make a video game too! Super Mario Maker is a phenomenal concept that allows fans to bring to life their very own versions of the plumber’s classic adventures. I’ve had tons of fun just imagining my own Mario levels and feeling like a real developer at Nintendo. If only they could see my creations…sigh. Whatever, Super Mario Maker is in fact a fantastic game despite all the extremely hard user-created levels that I’ve skipped over.
As much as the presence of The Flash, Green Arrow, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Speedy and Vibe probably should feel like the small screen Justice League Amell promised so long ago – and technically, is – it’s hard to avoid the feeling that The CW and the producers are planting more seeds than they’re reaping. Again, the sheer number of plots at work in the single episode is to blame, meaning the only chance at success is to give each their due time on the screen, and giving up any attempt to make any of them truly profo
For example, the semi-finals match: Laval vs. Kentucky. Laval, they love the concept of eSports but Laval as a school have yet to embrace it. They’re trying to be that lightning rod that says, “This is a thing. This is something that a lot of students have the passion for.” They want to be a spark to a legacy. Not only that, they are representing an entire country. Interviewing them yesterday, they said something like every Canadian team has reached out to them and congratulating t
AHIII: Growing up, I was a very quiet, introverted person; by nature, I am. I wanted to try to get past that because it wasn’t leading to the kind of happiness in life that I wanted. I decided to try to use casting as an avenue to find a more honest expression of myself. My goal in casting is to be myself, crack myself up, and have fun. So, if I make a joke that no one else laughs at but I think is hilarious and I’m having a good time, I went into it knowing I can fit into it. People can not like my talents but it would be okay. I would be fine with my own performance because I was mys
I saved the best for last on this list. While many folks pointed out Nintendo’s lack of original titles, Splatoon made a splatastic debut and made up for the last few decades. The cute, colorful, simple online shooter is a friendly way to introduce players to the genre. Clever weapon designs and fresh gear to wear makes Splatoon a uniquely designed game. It’s not serious or violent like many others, which appeals to players of all ages. Friends, parents, kids and squids can all enjoy this MOBA game tournaments together and not have to yell or scream about campers. Inking the entire level and fending off the other team is a big task, but Nintendo made it enjoyable. Plus, you might run into a Squid Party and those are always fun to mess with. Splatoon is my choice for best game of 2015.
