Dead to Rights Retribution Reviewed
Presentation: I played the original Dead To Rights when it launched on the original Xbox back in 2002. Fast forward to 2012 and I just finished playing through Dead To Rights: Retribution via the PlayStation 3. Much like its predecessor Dead To Rights: Retribution is a gritty action brawler that features gun play while taking out hordes of mindless thugs.
Nuage ImpressionsNuage is a indie game that manages to put the gamer in a relaxing, tranquil-like state. This game isn’t your typical video game which was one of the main reasons i decided to play the demo. I used to play a game called Flower which was really good. After playing the trial of Nuage a few times it gave me a similar feeling. That feeling is one of a small meditative-like state of tranquility. Nuage was developed and published by Six String Games as an Xbox Live Indie Game. It released February 12, 2012. You can buy it for 80 msp.

You won’t find any of the new stuff in Hard Reset like cover and regenerating health. This cyber-punk themed shooter paints a captivating world with its stellar visuals but falls flat regarding story and game length.

Resistance 3 ReviewHaving very few friends, I hadn’t really been impressed with the recent rash of video games boasting cooperative play or multiplayer features. If I were more popular, I thought, maybe I’d like them. But for all the multiplayer action I usually get I might as well have just one PS3 controller. Twenty-five years ago I might have been able to get by with grabbing two Atari joysticks and playing by myself, but games like Pong don’t quite match today’s offerings in terms of challenge or complexity. Also, I was in diapers and didn’t exactly know what my feet were.

Rayman OriginsRayman Origins is the latest in the long-running platforming series published by Ubisoft, and developed by their internal Montpellier studio. It’s also the first game to make use of the UbiArt Framework, a graphics engine that takes a lot of the technical aspects out of creating games with hand-drawn elements. With other engines, artists have to factor in movement and scaling to keep their images from being distorted. UbiArt Framework makes a lot of these factors moot as it handles them automagically, giving artists a chance to focus simply on creating great art, and then allowing them to animate the pieces by manipulating the individual object’s silhouette. The result is a truly gorgeous 2D platformer that may well be the crown jewel of the genre’s recent renaissance.
