Mid-Week Sales October 19 2010

October 20, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC News

I’m sure everyone is too busy exploring post-apocalyptic Nevada in Fallout New Vegas to bother with the other games on sale this week, but for those who aren’t fighting Ghouls on the Vegas strip, there are a few good deals to be found online with these Midweek sales. Games For Windows is still selling Street Fighter IV at half off for $14.99, and GamersGate.com is also selling it for half off, along with a 50% discount on sixteen other co-operative games. Unfortunately Gamer’s Gate will only give you half off on Street Fighter IV if you buy the Two pack. No, really.

Minecraft Review

October 20, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Reviews

The sun rises on another new day in the fertile land that I have christened ‘Elandonia’. I emerge from the door of the log cabin I had built the night before to the sound of burning zombies and the innocent oinks of the many pigs that can be seen across the landscape, jumping over hills and swimming in the vast sea that stretches out to meet the horizon. This is Minecraft…

Left 4 Dead 2 The Sacrifice Review

October 17, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Reviews

It’s important to mention when reviewing any Left 4 Dead DLC about what platform it’s on. Valve has been releasing free content for the Left 4 Dead series on PC ever since announcement, but everything that’s been free on the PC has been $7 on Xbox Live. That’s the same case here with the latest DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, The Sacrifice. It’s a piece of DLC for Left 4 Dead 2 that includes both a new 3-segment, 40 minute campaign called The Sacrifice, and including the Left 4 Dead campaign No Mercy in the package as well. That makes this one of the more fully featured DLCs, making it a great deal on the PC. However, if you’re intending to get this on the Xbox 360, it’s best to hold off on the DLC unless you are a hardcore Left 4 Dead fan.

Lost Planet 2 PC Review

October 16, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Reviews

I hadn’t played the original Lost Planet so when I started up Lost Planet 2 I didn’t know what to expect. As I explored this game I found that it holds a series of pros and cons that make it an above-average action game at best. The plot is fairly simplistic, with nameless soldiers from several armies (NEVEC, Snow Pirates, Jungle Pirates, Mercenaries, Waysiders and Carpetbaggers) fighting each other or the resident aliens(Akrid) on a planet named E.D.N. III for Thermal Energy, an energy source that is used for a variety of purposes, from powering Vital Suits (resident mechs) to healing. This Thermal Energy constantly drains and must be collected to prevent the ticker from hitting zero, where the player will begin to suffer damage. This apparently made sense in a frozen wasteland that was the setting in the first game, but the same conventions are maintained in Lost Planet 2 despite the fact that most of the missions are in hot or temperate climates.

Medal of Honor Review

October 16, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Reviews

Medal of Honor is a game that garnered skepticism from the start, with a trailer in the Spike VGAs that looked unnervingly like Modern Warfare 2; a trend in games that was appearing at the time. Things got worse for the fledgling remake when the multiplayer beta came out, where critics and players alike bashed the game for the apparent lack of quality and originality, myself included. Being an optimist, I tried to look at the possibility of the positive things that could come out of Medal of Honor. Very few details on single player had been released, meaning that the single player could be good, or alternatively go the other way, with my hopes resting on the former outcome. Now that it’s finally come out though, Medal of Honor is exactly what the beta made it out to be: a poorly constructed, unoriginal, and thoroughly boring game.
