NBA 2K franchise has been the highest in basketball gaming and in fact is the only competitor to itself. The lack of real competition takes almost nine years so it’s really surprising that it every year gets better and more innovative than the previous game. I’ve been playing 2K basketball games exactly as many years, since 2K flooded NBA Live by all segments, the undisputed ruler of basketball simulation from EA Sports workshops that ruled before 2K. Each year, including this one, the only question that arises is –…

Strategy series The Settlers is very know to players on the PC for more than 20 years, during which it was not pointed like Age of Empires, Civilization or Total War. Ubisoft as the owner of the licensee obviously bothered when the eighth part of the game was directed toward RPG genre. The game, which is now reviewing the first announced as The Settlers: Kingdoms of anterior and then it still was a strategic game with the addition of RPG part in which their heroes go on a mission….

General rule is that in any business, larger projects bring more stress and risk. It is no wonder that some of the creators of games fill their batteries in smaller, almost experimental projects. For developers Insomniac, known for Ratchet & Clank and Resistance series, such a project this year was the Song of the Deep – a simple 2D game that a small group of developers fulfill personal desires while the rest of his studios is working on Spider-Man and VR titles. The result of this effort is thematically…

Gaming itself should not be a stressful and tiring, but as far as entertainment was pulling the heads demons in the new Doom or succession to die in one of Souls titles, all eventually get to the point where we were just a lot of blood and violence. When that happens, we need a break from perforating and nasty monsters, and perhaps even of the very concept of fighting. Seasons After Fall offers such a break. Seasons After Fall puts players in the role of mystical seeds tasked to…

A decade ago, when I enrolled in fifth grade, at my school was selling computer magazine Enter. For kids my age, or at least those with whom I hung out, Enter was a great discovery. CD that came as part of the magazine contained a variety of programs, which we then attach little or no attention; and games, free games. One of the games that I particularly remembered is a beat ’em up title which I unfortunately forgot the name, and that can not be found in a variety of…

Original Mirror’s Edge was one of new era of Electronic Arts in which the company has expanded its catalog of games then fresh series such as Mass Effect, Dead Space and Dragon Age. Unfortunately for those who enjoyed the first person parkour, Mirror’s Edge has achieved a weak financial result is in contrast to the above series to its continuation waited for eight years. One can assume that EA and DICE were looking for the best way for such a game to get closer to a wider range of…

After several years spent in the competitive MMO titles that simply were not able to love one reason or another, by the return of the “king” I was surprised how much more it becomes apparent that the WoW product of the last decade. I am not referring specifically to graphics and aesthetics that I actually still like for bright colors and charming tone, but mainly on prehistoric, but also crucial physics struggle which forms the basis of gameplay. Gameplay that you are expected to spend hundreds, if not thousands…

Personally I’m not a fan of indie game Limbo. I appreciate what it sought to achieve, but I do not recognize it as something more than just an experiment. First of all, I never really liked the separation of what is at stake and the description of what the story should be. So, the game nowhere suggested that the main character has a sister and that his goal is to find them. This story does not exist outside the description of the game that is there only out of…

I think that many gamers, just like us here on gameguin.com, had a good part of growing up marked with a 3D platformer, so I was sad to see how the genre started to slowly decay. Except only recently issued the reboot of Ratchet & Clank, such platformer remains mostly forgotten part of history while the remaining few of his adolescent transformation ignores the basic charm of collecting random things in favor of stretched and illogical story subtracting the constant control of all sorts of cute animals. Well, little robot BUD from…

If there’s anything I remember from younger days, it is that Dado Pršo in the PES was called Pkro and played frantically “Worms” and “Grand theft auto.” Since then Pkro retired and “GTA” has become one of the best-selling games ever, and Worms are still Worms. I will not say that my former buddies are some kind of critics, but it is interesting that then Worms were almost constantly a major game in the street, and the first and second GTA were clean games that you play when you don’t…
