Only one piece of the gameplay took a while to get used to, and that was the skill checks associated with actions like repairing a generator or healing. One hears a familiar sound that the skill check is about to begin, and then a circle appears on screen with a smiling needle that players must stop with the “L” button within a small range. I missed far too many of these skill checks for the first couple of ho
There is also the issue of how Niantic monetizes the two games. In Pokémon GO, all a player needs to play the game are Pokéballs which are found easily by walking around and visiting Pokéstops. These can also be purchased in the store using currency, however, for the most part, they are never so scarce as to be a concern. In this sense, players can pick up and go, and the game feels as it sho
Instead, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite presents players and fans of the franchise with an entirely new activity, one we have never heard of in any detail before, which is the search for Foundables… and that is about it. For the unfamiliar, Foundables are items that have been found, as our in-game narrator tells us, being far too proud of a name that sounds as though it were unironically chosen by a five-year-old ch
With numerous companies and indie game developers churning out horror titles every year there are now a lot of creepy titles for gamers to dive into. No matter what type of player you are there is almost guaranteed to be a horror game out there that can scratch whatever itch you h
Friday the 13th: The Game is a survival horror video game developed by IllFonic, first released in 2017 for the PC , Xbox One , PlayStation 4 , and has now ported to the Nintendo Switch . It plays similarly in theme to Dead by Daylight , with an almost identical premise. Although the port to the Switch performs adequately, the timing of the port is unfortunate in relation to another game coming in Septem
However, the poor design of the AI is problematic because it truly makes this Adventure game Weapons require an online community to be viable. The unfortunate reality is that when Dead by Daylight releases in September, there is likely a large number of players who would prefer a game with a variety of playstyles and continued content upda
Premiere Picks: Helix (Syfy) from Battlestar Galatica creator Ronald D. Moore; True Detective (HBO), starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson; Sherlock (PBS) season 3; Black Sails (Starz); and (A&E) and BBC America’s Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond mini-ser
The largest complaint is reserved for the cursor used in the menus outside of gameplay. It feels a tad too sensitive at first and can be annoying to use. Its inclusion is a bit strange since the user interface lends itself to simply having an option highlighted and then using either the analog or directional buttons to cycle to another opt
Unlike those initial frenzied months of Pokémon GO where it seemed everyone outside was running around trying to catch their favorite first-generation Pokémon, there hardly seems to be any players looking to become a powerful Witch or Wizard. Why is it one game began so spectacularly, and another did not? It is not as though Harry Potter is some unknown charac
The remake Resident Evil 2 put players into the familiar shoes of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they seek to unravel the origin of the zombie outbreak in Raccoon City and put a stop to the madness before it consumes the pla
January starts off with the highly-anticipated premiere of Community season 5, and then the world of television jumps backs in to gear as all of your favorite shows begin making their return from the holiday hia
Fortunately we have organized all the premiere dates here for you, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out which shows will receive your time. If you need a bit of help in deciding what to watch, make sure to check out a trimmed-down selection in our premiere pi
As a port to the Switch, Friday the 13th: The Game does a number of things well, which includes providing all DLC, working to maintain a consistent framerate, and providing native voice-chat for online play, which is enjoyable with a full team of play
For that reason, the caveats listed above regarding long-term playability demand consideration. The score below indicates that this is a great game with some flaws, but assumes there is an online community. It does not take into account the potential of a rapidly diminishing player base, which is likely to oc
The holidays are now over, and 2014 is upon us, and with it comes a television premiere/return schedule even more complicated than in the fall. As old and new favorites return from break, even more old and new shows will begin to premiere, and it will be up to you to decide what to and, more importantly, what not to wa
March and April may not hold as many options as previous months, but there are still quite a few good picks available. Suits returns to USA; Whose Line Is It Anyway? proves what works, works (even on the CW); PBS finally premieres the BBC mini-series Mr. Selfridge starring Jeremy Piven; Orphan Black returns to BBC America; and Game of Thrones season 4 premieres… at some po
