As I perish in this game for about the two-hundredth time I’m going to level with you. Rogue Legacy really fucking sucks. It’s frustrating, extremely difficult at times and there are more than a few occassions where it makes you want to throw your controller – or console if you’re playing on the Vita like I am. All that aside,...

Vulgamification [Rainbow Moon]: More expansive than you can fathom
I don’t own a PS3 so naturally I’ve never played Rainbow Moon before. I have encountered a few reviews of the game in my travels across the wide expanse of the internet and all of them made me want to play it. Since I now own a Vita, I have the opportunity to give it a shot. I’ve played the portable...
Vulgamification [Starbound]: Take the world of Terraria, and multiply it by a bajillion
I’ve logged a lot of hours into Minecraft, Total Miner, Castle Miner Z, Terraria and more. I love sandbox, world-building games and I own Minecraft and Terraria for multiple platforms. I’m not trying to brag about how many games I own here, just trying to point out that I’m no stranger to the genre. That’s why I was truly surprised...
Vulgamification [The Walking Dead and 400 Days]: Not ideal for portable consoles
I originally started playing The Walking Dead on my PC. It’s a fantastic game, if you can really even call it that. Much like Jurassic Park (which was also made by Telltale Games), the only thing you really do is watch cutscenes and interact with various elements. The actions you complete and decisions you make affect the story, but you’re...
Vulgamification [Persona 4 Golden]: What the hell just happened?
I tried playing Persona 3 when I had my PSP running, but I just couldn’t do it. There is way too much dialogue and anime type content for my tastes, and the music- god that music. I have never been able to understand why people love the game so much. Then I decided to pick up a PS Vita. The...
Vulgamification [State of Decay]: Not your typical zombie game
State of Decay is not a run-of-the-mill survival horror zombie game. To be honest, that’s perfectly fine with me. While I love the Walking Dead and all things zombie (I loved zombies long before that- no bandwagon hopper here), I have to admit that I’m quite zombie-d out. In that regard, I’m over the whole -run around a linear path...
Vulgamification [Darksiders II]: What the first game should have been and more
Darksiders II is a complete amalgamation of everything that the first game should have been. The world is expansive and open, the quests are engaging and fun and the gameplay is refined. One of the most interesting things about the second game is that you can actually outfit your character with different equipment and weapons, ultimately resulting in separate character...
Vulgamification [Beastie Bay]: A Pokemon style simulation game that kicks ass
The sheer amount of mobile games out there is absurd. That being said, it’s not often that I actually come across the game I play in my free time. Most of the mobile games I install I play for a little while to kill time while I’m away from home or traveling on the road. Other than that, I never...
Vulgamification [Risen 2 Dark Waters]: Strangely enough, the f-bomb sums it up
Fuck. Fucking. Fuck-off. Fucker. Fuck-all. That sure is a lot of f-bombs right there, and it doesn’t help that they’re packed tightly into a small space. Strictly speaking, that pretty much sums up this entire game. No joke. In Risen 2 you will hear the f-bomb a lot -whether that be from cutscenes, in-game dialogue, or your own mouth- there’s...
Vulgamification [Metal Gear Rising Revengeance]: A whole lot of slicing and dicing, without all of the “la le lu le lo” shit
Vulgamification [Metal Gear Rising Revengeance]
It’s not often that we see a franchise spin-off that isn’t a complete flop. Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is one such spin-off of the aptly named Metal Gear series. It clearly ditches the slower strategic gameplay, and adopts more of a hack and slash in-your-face action attitude. You play as Raiden, a beefed up cyborg ninja dude who’s on a...
Vulgamification [Dragon’s Dogma]: An honest rundown
Every gamer has their specialty right? It’s a type of game or genre which they tend to migrate to, and utterly adore. My specialty is RPGs, or as the nerds like to call it- “roleplay”. I’m not entirely sure why I migrate to RPGs most, maybe it’s because they provide me with a true escape into fantasy realms I’ll never...
Vulgamification [Rage The Scorchers DLC]: Apocalyptic mayhem, extended gameplay, and loading issues
I think it’s safe to say that Id software knows the ins and outs of first person shooters. From Doom to Quake, they’ve certainly had plenty of practice. Rage is no exception to that rule. If you’ve never heard of it -then you’re probably living under a rock- it’s a post apocalyptic shooter, which borrows elements straight from Mad Max....
