Journey Review

Anyone who has ever told you that video games cannot be considered art, needs to experience one of the beautiful games from Thatgamecompany. Their unique way of designing and creating games serves as a reminder that you don’t need to follow what everyone else is doing to get the most out of creativity. With already past games such as Cloud, flOw and Flower available for everyone to try; Thatgamecompany has released their latest offering in Journey, exclusively for the PlayStation 3. And what has been released is, I am glad to say, a visually stunning, and expressing release that wholeheartedly lives up to the terrific collection of games Thatgamecompany is already known for.

Journey Playthough

This is a video I made for the ProvenGamer YouTube Page of a play-through  from start to finish, of thatgamecompany’s Journey. I really enjoyed their earlier games Cloud, flOw and Flower, and thought they were so unique that getting their newest release as soon as it was available an easy choice for me. I believe it came out really good and think it sort of works like a “silent” movie.


Edit: Unfortunately this video was taken off of YouTube.

Re: Finding Lost Treasures

Some people have their stamps, some have coins. I collect video games. And at times even some video game-related materials if I seem interested in them. Now while I’m nowhere near to the collection of a Pete Dorr or others on that level, but I’m always out looking for old and/or various games. Some I played in my childhood, rented and never bought, or those games that I always heard about but never had a chance to play. And as much as I’d love to spend $200 plus for that still sealed copy of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PlayStation 2, the economy and life don’t always have that in the cards. Instead, I tend to focus on buying games, in good condition at least, that I will play at some time or another.

PixelJunk SideScroller Review

The PixelJunk series have always been one of interest to me. Not wanting to stay focused one specific game type, the developers have created these games to cover different genres’ such as Real Time Strategy, Racing, Shooters and more. Keeping this time with the shooter aspect, Q-Games released the next in the series in Pixel Junk SideScroller on the PlayStation Network. And I’m happy to announce that this retro themed shooter is just as fun as it is flashy.

Battlefield 3 Review

With the popularity of the First Person Shooter still in full effect, EA and DICE have finally released their heavy hitter of the year in Battlefield 3. This is the game that EA execs were betting on to take the FPS crown away from the Call of Duty series. So does it? Is this the game to finally silence the doubtful who think that the giant of Activision is too well known of a force to challenge? Well, the results are a remarkable shooter that undoubtedly has some flaws with it.
