Starcraft 2 Review

August 3, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Reviews

Hey, StarCraft. It’s been awhile. 12 years later and here we are. More than anything, StarCraft II is one incredible statement, a statement that suggests that, after all this time, after 12 years, the gameplay that defines the StarCraft series hasn’t aged one bit. There’s nothing about StarCraft II that pushes any gameplay boundaries. There’s nothing about StarCraft II that feels like its taken bits and pieces from other real-time strategy games.

Starcraft 2 Impressions

August 2, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Features

For a game that the world has been waiting almost 13 years to see, Starcraft 2 hasn’t really redefined it’s gameplay mechanics. That’s not to say the game isn’t fun though.

Medal of Honor Beta Impressions

August 2, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Features

The Medal of Honor preorder-only beta just ended, and I wanted to share my thoughts on it. If you don’t know yet, the Medal of Honor multiplayer is a mix between Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Whether or not this is a good mix is subject to opinion. Personally, I think that the mix does not work very well. The things that made Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2 unique have been lost in Medal of Honor, and as a result, the game is less than it could be. In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the destructible environments made the game more dynamic, and in Modern Warfare 2, the perks made the game more customizable. These are both things not in Medal of Honor.

July 31, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC News

The mighty and virtuous were summoned to assist Paragon Studios this month with the Beta test of the new City of Heroes expansion pack: Going Rogue, which challenges players to battle for publishing rights to Sarah Palin’s next book. Okay, despite the poor choice of name, Going Rogue actually takes place in a mirror universe that is ruled by an evil tyrant seeking total world domination. No, I’m still not talking about Sarah Palin!
