Metro 2033 Redux

Image
  I sit here, a little buzzed listening to my friend constantly restart the beginning of this game.  He is going after an achievement he remembers from the Xbox 360 play through.  This disgusts me.  Not because its frustrating to watch the same five minutes over and over.  Not because I find it to be OCD and perhaps, obsessive?  No, none of those actually.  I'm most disgusted at the fact that he is holding himself back from exploring the metro in full detail.  This version is even better than the PC version. For starters.  It works.... The PC version of Metro 2033 while great looking and of course fun to play,  ran like shit.  Even on high end machines it ran poorly.  The new PS4 version rectifies any issue I've ever had with the Metro series.  For starters, the overhaul.  While it isn't true "Next Gen" it looks fucking great.  Obviously the best looking version of the game you can pick up....

Diablo 3 (Review)

                                                  "I've been playing for 3 days straight" Yes, so I finally have completed D3!  Wait...have I really?  Did I really "complete" it?....No I don't think I have.  I mean I have beaten the campaign....I've finished the adventure, surely I'm done.  No, no I'm not.  There is so much more to discover and do.

The Golden Age of DLC

DLC is one of biggest and best things going on within the gaming industry....Financially speaking at least.  I myself am very mixed on it.  On one hand I remember and long for the days of, when you bought a game you were buying a complete package.  On the other hand DLC gives developers more time to focus on their creative efforts.  If a DLC comes out that is a true expansion to the game, as in more content that further enriches my game play.  I'll buy it.  What I don't buy into are the things like the season passes.  I have issues with these because the season pass to me is nothing more than a cash cow.  Its grown especially ridiculous with the call of duty games.  Why am I paying an extra 60 dollars for 16 new maps?  Some guns, maybe some cool extinction levels...yeah all right sweet!  Thank you for making me pay more for shit that should have been in the game in the first place! There is always the ar...
