Diablo 3 Review: Hell Breaks Lose in a Linear Fashion
Diablo 3 was worth the wait, but it’s design might upset veteran players.
It has been almost 4 years since Blizzard finally lifted the sheet on Diablo 3, and like every other Blizzard release, fans of the series have been waiting eagerly to take down the Lord of Terror once again. With over a 10 year development cycle, does Diablo 3 live up to its insane amount of hype?
Diablo has been a franchise that has been a king in PC gaming ever since its original release way back in 1996. Since then, Diablo has continued to be the standard for the RPG hack and slash dungeon crawler genre, and to this day, gamers are still playing Diablo 2 which is now a 12 year old game. Diablo 3 has a lot to live up to.
Awesomenauts Review: Blast in, but with Friends
Awesomenauts is a lot of awesome mixed with MOBA.
The MOBA genre (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is one that I personally have never been into, but once I saw the beautiful and witty art style of Awesomenauts, I decided to give it a endeavor. If you can deal with some unbalancing issues, you will find Awesomenuats to be a simplified 2D arena shooter with some real legs to keep you coming back.
If you are familiar with the MOBA genre then getting into Awesomenauts will not take long. The goal of each match is to conquer your opponents’ base by destroying their turrets defending their main base. This is done by players controlling a group of different classes, each with their own set of unique abilities. Each stage possess its’ own set of different ways to approach your opponents’ base, and some even have hidden paths to sneak up on your enemy.

Casual games, still part of gaming
Casual games are on the rise, that’s no secret, with games like Bejeweled being so addictive it makes sense. PopCap is one of the biggest casual game company with its name known to both casual and hardcore gamers, Zynga is up there too thanks to FaceBook.
EA is trying to get some of that sweet casual cash as well, they’ve bought casual game developers in the past, even Nintendo set the Wii up for the casual crowd.
With both big and small game companies making games for casual players the question is begged to be ask, do gamers really care? Seriously ask yourself “Do I really care about casual games?”, you should be able to answer that quickly.
Wii U to Face Hardware Limitations Similar to Wii?
Wii U could face hardware limitations in just a few years?
E3 2012 is just around the corner, and I like many other gamers are eagerly awaiting the information we will receive on the Wii U. The Wii experience for me was amazing when the console was first released, but due to technological boundaries, it became a system just for Nintendo’s first party titles. Even though the Wii U hasn’t released yet, I am a little afraid of what will happen with software a few years down the line.

Dragon’s Dogma Demo Impressions
Dragon’s Dogma is a Capcom title I have heard very little about, yet I’ve been very eager to see it in action. Despite Capcom’s recent media woes, I am still very confident in their ability to create a unique and well developed gaming experience. While scouring the XBL game marketplace, I came across the demo for Dragon’s Dogma and in less than 30 seconds it was already in my download queue. What I discovered intrigued the mess out of me.
The Walking Dead Game Episode 1 Review
I’m going to do something a little different in this week’s Michael’s Gaming Corner; I’m going to do a small review like I did with Journey, why?
Mainly because reviews are just somebody’s opinion, so I felt that game reviews would fit nicely in my editorials, it’s nice to change things up every now and then don’t you think? So here’s The Walking Dead game review.
Walking Dead on arrival?
Telltale Games have done plenty of point and click games based off of popular IPs, from Sam and Max to Jurassic Park, so it was no surprise when TT Games announced they were making a Walking Dead game.
The big question was how well can TT Games transfer the world of zombies to a point and click adventure without losing out on the action or pressure of being pursued by the living dead?
For those who are not familiar with point and click games, characters are usually set in in one spot until told to move by a cruiser which the player controls.
I’m happy to say the Telltale Games handle the thrill of a zombie apocalypse very well, nearly everything works.
