Ratchet and Clank 2 - The Sophomore Slump

With the first Ratchet and Clank game out of the way, its straight over to the second one and with that I quickly realized why, when people talk about how they loved the original games, they usually talk exclusively about the first or third game. Yeah this one isn't great.

Ratchet and Clank - Back to the Beginning

Recently theres been the release of Ratchet and Clank, a remake of the original Ps2 title, released onto the Ps4 in line with a (quite derided) movie and after watching some friends play through this, it got me thinking and wanting to play the original trilogy through again and then maybe even continue onto the Ratchet and Clank titles I haven't tried out. So with this in mind, I went forth to play the Ps3 versions of the games as they were on sale at the time, what did I find?

Eldritch - Don't Blink...

Eldritch is a rather interesting little title... Based off various mythos, the game chucks you head-first into randomly generated dungeons where the main objective is to try and get out of each one alive. Its basically first person Spelunky. Does it work? Hm... That's a debatable question there...

Alpha Prime - Shooty Shooty'ness

Alpha Prime definitely sits in the area of FPS games which I call the 'Middle Ground' of FPS titles. It doesn't throw enemy after enemy at you like crazy (such as the more old-school FPS titles such as Serious Sam, Duke Nukem and such) but at the same time, it doesn't try and take itself seriously at any point (Such as the Call of Duty series). Think Half-Life sort of gameplay and you already have a good idea of where this game is heading.

//N.P.P.D. Rush// : The Milk of Ultra Violet - Um... What?

Note: The main dev of this game has since changed the game completely, turning a slightly intresting but flawed title into a completely unplayable mess. I'm not doing a full page review of the new 'Game' as quite frankly, I don't want to touch it again if needs be. I'll keep this up though just to showcase what the game used to be.

So this morning, went and grabbed myself the Groupees Retro 2 bundle and one of the games I wound up picking up was this little weird title (Which for sanity's sake, I shall be just referring to as NPPD). So I installed it, played it and finished it in under half an hour (Whoops. There's one MAJOR mark against it already). So how was it? Uh... Interesting...

Arson & Plunder - Beat Em Up Basics

When I was young my dad owned an Amiga and with it, a good selection of games. One of those titles was Golden Axe and I played that over and over again, finishing it multiple times and beating Death Adder. Have I gone back to that game in many years? No. Why? I have to admit, I am worried that my memories of the game could be ruined on playing it again now and games like this only serve to add on to that train of thought.

Waves - Shooty Goodness

Now here be a game that I have not exactly 'Finished' because well... its a game that's got no ending at all, its a score-chasing twin-stick shooter by the name of 'Waves' and (Spoiler) its blummin good. Let me go through why!

Dead Rising 3 - Nightmare Over

Another game completed and this time its an Xbox One title (gasp) with the name of Dead Rising 3. I have played and finished all of the previous titles so I should be ready for this one? Right?

Note: By all titles I mean Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case West and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. Yep. I even bought the rubbishy 'Should have been DLC' one.
