Mario Tennis Aces “Swing Mode” is Really Disappointing

Mario Tennis Aces is the latest entry to the Mario Tennis series. This time around Nintendo did no wrong with their tennis series giving us an adventure mode where you move from level to level to complete a series of challenges, a fun online/offline tournament, and exciting local play. I haven’t played the Mario Tennis series since the GameCube days, but I’m having as much fun as I did back then, expect for one mode that made me hate motion controls. During the lead up to launch I had questions about full motion controls, if they would support it for full matches? Can it be an alternative? and will it be like Wii Sports or will it have depth will in the base game? These questions were answered just a couple of days before launch and I was disappointed in how Nintendo implemented the motion controls. Coming from the developers of Wii Sports and how well the motion controls worked with the tennis mini-game gave me hope that Nintendo could do something great with motion ...

My Game of the Year (2017) – Destiny 2 #3

There was a lot of excitement for the Bungie ’s second go around with Destiny 2 . There was a lot of controversy over what was changed and what didn’t return from the first Destiny .  At first the changes were for the better, it allowed new players to finally wrap their head around the system that was difficult to process in original Destiny.   Rising reputation with an NPC is one change that was assessable newcomers.

My Game of the Year (2017) – Horizon Zero Dawn #2

Watching this game for the first time at E3 my jaw dropped at the stunning visuals, the world its trying to create and, most important are the amazingly designed mechanize dinosaurs. When I heard that the developers of Killzone were making this game, it made me a little warry. Hearing that this is an open world 3 rd person RPG – these were not the type of games Guerrilla Games developed.  Guerrilla was always known for their tight first-person shooting, and for them to make something out of their comfort zone could be something special or something that had promise but flopped. It’s great to say that Horizon Zero Dawn was an amazing accomplishment for Guerilla Games this year and year to come. Horizon’s Open World is Lush and Lively The world in Horizon is so interesting and full of mysteries it keeps you wondering for most of the game. As the game goes on you learn more about Aloy’s (Main character) past and how she is tied within the world. The cities and se...
