Statistically, a 95% chance to hit a target seems like superb opportunity to take a shot on a target. XCOM 2 has reinforced the opposite mentality. This turn based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games  forces the player to make risky decisions on and off the battlefield. This sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown (of 2012) proves to be even more difficult than...
When the embargo for reviews for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain were lowered I waited anxiously for the reviews to be posted. I was nervous that the game I had been looking forward to since 2008 and openly since 2012 was as good as I had hoped it could be. The first review for the game I...
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is the third game under the Borderlands name, but is primarily developed by 2K Australia this time around, with the original Dallas-based developer Gearbox Software only lending a helping hand. For those of you unfamiliar with the franchise, Borderlands is a loot-based FPS action RPG. In English, Borderlands is a first person shooter centered around finding bigger,...
Supercell, the hit app developer that created Clash of Clans, has released a new and addicting game that has captivated Jesuit once again.

Players began playing this marvelous game when sophomore, Zack Butz, discovered the game on YouTube and brought it to Jesuit. He shared...

Having received the game early, I'm proud to provide a rather premature review for EA's FIFA 15. Running on the improved Ignite game engine, the game looks better than ever. The game engine which was used in the previous...
With graphic fatalities ridden with copious amounts of gore along with impalements and screams of agony, few franchises have impacted the gaming industry as much as the Mortal Kombat series. Parents and kids alike can either curse or praise its violence, which ultimately led to the creation of the Entertainment Software Rating Board, or ESRB for short. In summary, the rating...
Many flocked to their local Gamestop or Walmart on November 5, in search of one thing, the next Call of Duty game. Call of Duty: Ghosts was recently released on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and all PC computers and the game has sold briskly in this short period of time.  Infinity Ward solely developed the latest in the...
I personally don’t have a lot of experience with the Call of Duty franchise. I rarely bought First Person Shooters when I was younger, but the ones I had were really fun. I have also been hearing a split between a lot of my friends on their opinion on the newest installment, Call of Duty: WWII. After a while,...
