Dungeon Defenders - Review

Smaller budgets, shorter development times, and less marketing; downloadable titles are relatively new to the world of gaming.  Dungeon Defenders is an action, RPG, tower defense game available on all download services.  How does it play, and is it worth your time?

Rayman Origins - Review

I’m not sure the newest generation of gamer could even identify 5 games that belong in the “platformer” genre.  Most popular in the SNES era, platformers have all but disappeared aside from handheld and downloadable titles (and some Wii titles, I guess).  That being said, does Rayman Origins deserve to be a full-fledged feature title?

Bioshock Infinite - Review

 

Over two years of hype and anticipation.  The wait for Bioshock Infinite was killing me…but I was willing to be patient if it meant I was going to get an immersive, story-driven experience.  It’s literally been years since I looked forward to a title in the way I waited for this one.  Not only did the release seem to take forever, the game was delayed not once, but twice!  I thought that meant Irrational was ensuring the game was quality…was I right?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Review

Lords of Shadows takes the Castlevania franchise in a different direction, mixing series staples with elements borrowed from other games.  This departure might make hardcore fans scorn in dismay, yet at the same time, attract a new following.  Regardless, let’s see if it’s worth your time and money.

Dead Space 3 - Review

In a year where trilogies have been the norm rather than the exception, Dead Space 3 wasn’t necessarily greeted with open arms.  Adding co-op to the campaign and even including human enemies, many fans were immediately turned off.  Before you play the game, you may want to consider how these changes have affected the franchise.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Review

The fifth Call of Duty in five years comes to us in the form of Modern Warfare 3.  Continuing upon what seems to be a yearly record breaking release; MW3 looks to expand upon the games that have come before it.  I personally have chosen to skip every other COD release.  I only own the Modern Warfare games and will be taking those games into account when reviewing this year’s title.

Singularity - Review

Released under the radar a few years back, Singularity sought to provide an engaging single player campaign while also extending its lasting appeal with an online component.  Clearly the game didn’t sell as expected, but does that mean it’s no good?

Battlefield 3 - Review

Heralded by some as the “Call of Duty Killer,” the Battlefield series has attempted to offer an alternative to the yearly COD franchise.  The BF3 release was followed by positive critical reviews, but really, does this game live up to the all the hype? 

God of War 3 - Review

The God of War series has had some of most critically acclaimed entries since its start on the PS2.  Years later, we find ourselves at the conclusion of the main trilogy, God of War III.  Does this title build upon the success of its predecessors or is Kratos old news?

Gears of War - Top 10 Multiplayer Maps

Here at LLG, like in most n3rd friendships, we love exploring and debating the best of the best when it comes to video games. We begin this series with our top ten best Gears Of War multiplayer maps of all time. As this is all subjective, I will add context as to why each map made the list and as always we welcome a healthy debate on any list you see on the site!

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition - Boom Montage

Since Gears of War 4 has finally arrived, we've decided to lay Gears of War: UE to rest.  Although it wasn't one of our favorite entries in the series, it looked pretty, offered a nice dose of nostalgia, and did provide a few great moments online.  Despite the terribly inaccurate shotgun, and the jagged adjustment to the center screen shots, we managed to have fun with the game.  As a final farewell to the online multiplayer of Gears: UE, we've put together a since send-off montage of some online action.  Enjoy.

 

Gears of War 3 – Review

Releasing with lofty expectations, Gears of War 3 had fans clamoring for the trilogy conclusion nearly two years before its release.  The first trailer featured new COG members and enemies, plus awesome music (Check out “Gears 3 Ashes to Ashes” on YouTube).  Information leaked slowly, followed by a beta, and finally the full release.  Is Gears 3 worth the wait?
