Retro: Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders

What was that about it being too PC heavy around here? Sorry, but I'll get to that later. The recent article on Doom inspired me to give my two cents about my favourite "Doom clone" Heretic.

Released in 1994 using a modified version of the Doom engine Heretic and its "expansion" Shadow of the Serpent Riders was a great FPS that in my mind, trumps Doom 1 or 2.

Halo 4

Why Halo there...

      ...That was stupid. Let me try that again.

   I have just recently finished playing through the campaign of Halo 4, so I have decided to do a review of my experiences playing through that game. I am a big fan of the Halo franchise, in fact besides Metroid is probably my favorite video game series. Halo 3 was one of my favorites out of all of them, its balance between a solid campaign and a great multiplayer made it the best all around.

At the end of Halo 3 when I saw that Master Chief was orbiting around another planet I was eager to know where his journey was going to take him next. I was even more happy when they announced another Halo game, but it turned out to be Halo: Reach, which was an exceptional game, But there was no Master Chief to be found.

Now, fast forward to November 6, 2012, Halo 4 is released on the Xbox 360, and I think to myself "Yes, back to the old. I can fight the Flood again, I get to find another Halo Installation, and I even get to meet the Forerunners, this will be great."

BlackLight: RETRObution, Get it?

   Modern First Person Shooters, marvelous aren't they? In case you didn't pick up on it, that previous statement was a sarcastic statement, most modern FPS's (Didn't know how to make that plural) are just your basic Call of Duty rip off. You know, modern military shooter, crappy campaign, Aim down sights, kill minorities etc. The only thing that game makers even try to do to make these games better is to put as much into their multiplayer as they can and as fast as they can: I am not saying that the multiplayer is bad, I am saying that the game itself is not worth the 60 dollar price tag for a game that only offers one worth while feature.

END THE STAGNATION!!! AVP.

   Aliens vs. predator, for some people they are transported back to the '90s to a time of the Jaguar. Others not so far back to some, alright movies. I thought they were alright anyways. But an even fewer number of folks think back to the latest Aliens vs. Predator game, for modern consols.

Well, here we go. Time to dive into another game that wasn't really well recieved.
