Video Game Review: Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault

July 2, 2013 / Video Game Reviews

Combat and light platforming handle reasonably well, though the camera is pulled in behind you a bit too tightly, which can lead to issues when enemies surround you. Depth perception can also offer some problems with melee strikes and jumps. None of it is enough to seriously affect gameplay, but the option to pull the camera back would’ve been nice.

The tight end position is in a constant state of evolution. As the free agents shuffle like Icky in the ’80s, offensive schemes are altered like hairstyles. The general rule about tight ends is that they should be safety valves for QBs under distress. Yet sometimes they are proteins on offensive dinner tables.

Video Game Review: Grid 2

June 27, 2013 / Casey Curran, Video Game Reviews

Racing, overall, is too focused on knowing how to handle turns ahead of time on each track. Fortunately, there is a rewind button that avoided many frustrations. This rewind button has a limited number of uses, but even then I feel it offers too much freedom in how far back it can take you on the tracks.
