My Jimmies Are Still Rustled Over Bayonetta 2 Reviews

Mephisto Mori/ November 17, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I went on record recently to state that Bayonetta 2 isn’t a perfect game.  The statement could’ve been construed as premature considering I admitted to not having played the game yet.  Which is bullshit.  You don’t need to eat shit to know you won’t like it. Being Wii U exclusive and not owning a Wii U it made reviewing the

Bayonetta 2 gets a 10/10 from Gamespot

Mephisto Mori/ October 20, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

That would be impressive if it weren’t fucking Gamespot that dolled out the arbitrary numerical value.  I’m not a fan of arbitrary values assigned to games.  Video games aren’t a one dimensional experience so a strict numbers system doesn’t work.  There’s too much of the subjective vs the objective that goes into a game.  A game can have a horrible

The Evil Within: A second look

Mephisto Mori/ October 17, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

The Evil Within is getting a lot of polarized reviews.  I feel I must reassert my stance. Game’s bad.  And here are some bonus reasons on why: I neglected to mention in my initial review of the game some of the technical stuff.  In this era of gaming, I don’t find it necessary to point out graphics and audio quality.

Day One Review: The Evil Within

Mephisto Mori/ October 14, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

What’s the difference between homage and ripoff?  Penny Arcade said it best, “whether I like it or not.” If you’re looking for a prime example of what a horror game ripoff looks like in the year 2014, I’d point you toward The Evil Within.  It’s not surprising since the project was helmed by Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil,

Mephisto Mori/ September 18, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

A trailer featuring some of the game play of the long awaited Final Fantasy 15 was shown at E3 last year and then the game quickly faded back into obscurity. Well at TGS this year they released another teaser trailer (IGN and Gamespot have the trailer), this one mostly cutscenes with a little more gameplay mixed in.  As with all

Mephisto Mori/ September 18, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

This game… It’s looking so good.  The Silent Hill well seemed to have dried up.  Looks like Kojima is just the rock star to revive it.  The new trailer comes compliment of Tokyo Game Show thanks to Youtube user Rajman Gaming for the post.

Destiny, A Day 1 Review

Mephisto Mori/ September 9, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Wall of Text Incoming (Skip to the Bottom for the TLDR Version): Most people made up their minds about Destiny when they heard the words “Bungie” and “New FPS.”  For the skeptics and those that withheld judgement until the game was actually released, the following is for you. I don’t hate Halo.  Scratch that.  I didn’t hate the original Halo.  I

Grounded Difficulty, Ain’t fuckin’ Around

Mephisto Mori/ August 30, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I’ve been playing a lot of The Last of Us (Remastered).  In terms of value for game, it is among the highest I’ve had.  I think, in the history of games, it’s the first I’ve bought and played back to back, not just twice, but three times. I could gripe about a couple facets of the game… but overall this
