Video Game Review: Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires

This series has never shied away from its original control scheme because it still fits perfectly and feels great when playing. Characters are controlled with the left stick, and your various attacks are mapped to the face buttons. As per usual, the controls are very responsive and comfortable. Combos can be strung together to produce damn impressive prowess on the battlefield, and the feeling of having a character that is truly bad ass cutting through crowds of enemies is second to none.

Is it too soon to decree him one of the greatest to ever play the game? The reigning AL MVP is going off the board in the top two picks in this year’s drafts — especially now that he has third base eligibility. Let’s nitpick: Cabrera’s walk rate dropped to its lowest level since 2008. What a freaking stiff! Did we mention he set a new career high with 139 RBI? Like we said… a total dud here, folks. Nothing to see.

Video Game Review: Tomb Raider

Where the game excels is in consistently adding new abilities or features to your repertoire and yet still keeping everything simple to execute. For instance, your arsenal consists of four weapons, each of which is assigned to a direction on the d-pad. As you upgrade weapons you’ll have attachments and/or different ammo types and these are smartly cycled through by just pushing the d-pad in the direction of the gun multiple times. Everything feels well planned.
