505 Games NYC Editor Showcase: Adr1ft


A little while ago 505 games offered us a wonderful opportunity to check out some the new games they are working on. One such game is Adr1ft a suspense thriller based in space.




Are you afraid of being alone? Imagine waking up on a deserted space station just floating and losing oxygen fast. Inhabiting the wreckage of a destroyed space station with no memory and a severely damaged EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) suit,  struggling  to determine the cause of the catastrophic event that took the lives of everyone on board. The player fights to stay alive by exploring the wreckage for precious resources and overcomes the challenges of an unforgiving environment in an attempt to repair the damaged emergency escape vehicle and return home safely.


Thanks to 505 games we were able to play the demo on a massive movie screen and on the amazing Oculus rift.The astonishing graphics and physics that were implemented into the game really stick out to me. Every movement is very life like and very dangerous. You loose oxygen every second so you have to keep moving,its a high risk high reward when it comes to the game play.


Its a definite buy if your into survival games, its not competitive and if you wanna know how its feels to an astronaut with out the real life risk of floating off into the sun and being burned alive.


Walker Stalker Con


ZZZZZZOOOOMMMMBBIIIEEESSSSS everywhere, its great! If you love zombies ,cool art and The Walking Dead, Walker Stalker Con is the place to go. Walker Stalker Con is great place to meet your favorite Walking Dead cast members and check out Walking Dead cosplay and load up on swag. A lot of The Walking Dead cast was present such as Jon Berthnal (Shane, who is an awesome guy), Chad L. Coleman (Tyreese) and the beautiful Christina Serratos (Rosita)... all great people if you ask me. Pictures with the cast were quite pricey, but at the end of the day it was worth every penny.

The Con has some interesting panels such as one with two of the Comic Book Men and another with Irone Singleton ( T-Dog). Promotions of cool YouTube Walking Dead songs such as  Carl G - Carl Pappa ( by Bad lipreading)and Talk Dead to me that were made by the Creators of Walker Stalker Con James and Eric. We got a moment to Talk with James who is awesome guy and a great Rick cosplayer. The interview will be up soon but basically we discussed his Podcast which should be checked out on iTunes ( insert podcast name). I enjoyed every second at the con but only had one problem , I wish there was more to do but with growing popularity next year I hope I get my wish. Stay dead people


Also I had the chance to meet the Beautiful Christina Serratos (Rosita).











 

Movie Reel:Starwars Episode VII Trailer


I have been waiting and waiting for this trailer and finally its here. Starwars: Episode VII is coming, just watching this trailer I cant wait for the movie to come out on Dec 18th ,2015. A lot of older cast has been already announced on IMBD such as the solo king Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). It looks like fighting between the Empire and the rebellion is still at large although  Vader & The Emperor were killed. So cant wait to whats lurking in the dark side of the Force and who is now in control.
Now let us talk about the Millennium Falcon  that looks amazing and still is flow with such amazing skill avoiding being shot down by tie fighters.I have seen a bunch of comments on the black storm troop (John Boyega) and my theory is that in this era storm troopers are no longer clones so whats left of the Empire has to rely on people power. Also, the "CrossGuard Light saber" AWESSSOOOMMEEE idea. I believe since Luke had his hand cut off by Vader, he could have designed it to protect his hand? The light saber may be red but Luke may have took his Fathers (Vader) and tweaked it for homage. Being a big fan of the Star wars Franchise


You cannot tell me that that "CrossGuard Light Saber" is not an upside down cross.- ChelseaFX6

Hero Alert!: Arrow Vs Flash

Images from WeGotThisCovered

Finally, a full cross over between two of DC small screen super heroes! The Flash and Arrow, whose TV series I have enjoyed so much. They go back and forth with words, they fight and at the end knowledge and passed over and there friendship grows.
Starting up as a team up of Flash and Arrow to catch a villain that makes his victims become enraged. Arrow aka Oliver Queen tries to train Barry aka the flash who jumps into a fight with  Roy. G. Bivolo aka the Rainbow Raider thinking that he has everything under control but wound up being enraged and the only person who can stop him is Arrow.
This is something I would play out in Injustice (which is free on PSN for this month) but I'm extremely happy to see a cross over and I can't wait for more. There will be another episode showing tonight 8 pm EST on WB11(CW) where things are going to heat up more between the two heroes.
Here is my question to you, who do you think would win Between Flash and Arrow?  Leave a comment below. 

Review: WWE 2K15


Being a big WWE fan I was excited to play WWE2k15 for the Playstation 4. The first thing I did was jump into singles one-on-one to see how the much has changed and how good of a job was the games visualization is. So far, I've noticed that 2k has worked really hard on the visuals for a lot of the male superstars but Divas could have been done better with likeness. As for wrestling moves the moves are spot on , its beautiful to hit someone with an RKO from outta no where. The actual fighting takes time getting used too; if u don't have a manual to learn how to do more complicated moves then it's going to be a lot harder to play. The My Career mode is great you start at the performance center and build your way up to NXT ,Superstars ,Main Event ,Smackdown and then Raw. I believe they could have made it a little more interesting by putting you in more story lines  as opposed to just beating down wrestlers till you get to the top. Especially cause it takes way to long to get there. Overall I am enjoying the game and I love the realism that 2K brought into the game. I give this game a 6.5 outta 10 and the reason why I give the game this score was because I feel that game still has its imperfections that could be fixed even though its small its still annoying.




Review : The Evil Within


  If I had to describe "The Evil Within" in one word, the word would be challenging.  Being developed by Tango Gameworks and the project is led by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, (whose been Executive producer and director of some of my favorite games such as Resident Evil 4 and Goof Troop)  Evil With In has a Resident Evil 4 feel to it but with a lot of twist and turns. Even With the fighting chance DLC, I'm having a hard time staying alive against hordes of twisted village and large boss creatures. Following Detective Sebastian Castellanos the main character who you find more about as you play through the story is man who understands lose. Stealth and strategy is what your going to need to survive save ammo hide in a closet enjoy a little wait under someones bed and then strike.The story line its self is a puzzle and more and more you proceed through the chapters of the game, everything starts to become clear. Shooting is difficult because enemies can take a lot of damage and they run at you. Also, with a limited amount of ammo this is truly a survival game. There are alternative weapons, the Ax and the torch, there for only one time usage but great way to save ammo. I'm really enjoying Evil With In and cant wait for DLC to come out for the game.


I'm giving this game a rating of 8.5/10








2014NYCC: First impressions - Resident Evil Revelations 2


At this years Comic con i saw the Resident Evil Revelations 2 booth and knew i just had to play it. Even after waiting an hour i was still excited to see that Capcom came out with a second "Resident Evil Revelations". The game starts out following Clair Redfield and Moria Burton(Barry Burtons Daughter ) being abducted and waking up in a prison cell on an unknown island. The booth had the demo for Playstaion 4, and the graphics are great and the game play is smooth check out the trailer below.



The game has shades of "Resident Evil 4", but with the ability to use combos and switch with the other character. Instead of shooting ooze for an hour( from the last Revelations game), you are now against the afflicted. The afflicted move like the Los Pluga villiage people, but look like a bunch of man-sized Frankensteins.

 I'm a big fan of the Resident Evil franchise, and I have high expectations of the game. Overall, I enjoyed playing the demo and can't wait for the game to come out in November. Also for more Comic con coverage check out 8bitdrum.com and check out this awesome live action trailer.

New Pokemon Game! A Fighter!?!



 How would you feel about playing arcade fighting game with Pokemon in it? Thanks too the wonderful people of Bandai Namco and Katsuhiro Harada, the director of the Tekken series a possible 3D arcade Pokemon fighting game is the in making. In the video below it shows a small taste of whats to come a fight between Lucario and Machamp. Lucario, already being a star in Smash Bros, shows some fluid quick combos; even a moment where he turns into his Mega Evolution. I have high hopes for the game due to the Tekken series being so successful and Pokemons popularity. The fighting combos for Tekken are amazing and there is a large variety of Pokemon to choose from for the roster. For me, I think Charizard would be an amazing edition to the roster but hey, that's just me.



If you want to see the official first look trailer from the Pokemon Official YouTube channel.

Hype Train!: Far Cry 4




Lets go from a man to a warrior in Far cry 4.Coming November 18 2014 im so excited to see what Ubisoft has instore for everyone. I enjoyed everything about Far Cry 3 from the single player to the co op online. Most of all i enjoyed Vass one of the main protagonist in the storyline, he made being a psycho look cool and funny. But now we have new protagonist called Pagan Min who clames himself as a king and also has a very short temper which can be seen in the Far Cry4 trailer below check it out.


With new a villain we have to have a new clueless hero that walks into a world that he is not prepared and has to become something more to make it though. Ajay Ghale is native of the island of Kyrat unlike Jason Brody to Rook island and is there for a personal reason. Ubisoft has added a few new gaming features such as "Guns for hire" which is a co op free roam with co op missions and also and addition to map making called build your own post.

Hype Train!: Mortal Kombat X


Are you ready for Blood, Brutality, and Fatalitys'? Well if so your in luck, Netherrealm studios has announced Mortal Kombat X for 2015. Words can not explain how excited I am for this new entry to the Mortal Kombat franchise. For every new Mortal Kombat game that comes out Netherrealm takes the game to the next level, adding something unique that the last game didn't have. 
So if you enjoy ripping your friends apart as much as I do then your going to enjoy the new Mortal Kombat X. Check out the trailer below.


Netherrealm has already showed four new characters Cassie Cage (Sonya and Jonny cages daughter), Kotal Kahn, D'Vorah and Ferra/Torr. With a new game comes a new system of fighting to even up For example Scorpion has 3 fighting styles Ninjutsu, hellfire and inferno. Ninjustsu is more hand to hand, hellfire is more focused on fire moves and inferno allows you to send a demon minion out sorta like Noobs shadow. Not to much is known at the moment about the hole roster but Netherrealm has stated that the core characters will be in the game. I enjoyed the last Mortal Kombat and what Netherrealm did with injustice. Overall I'm excited for this game, can't wait to see all the new fatalitys' and  X-rays.
