Virtual Katz Writes: It’s that time again, time for the Video Game Verdict, previously known as Buy It, Rent It, Leave It. We are still sticking with the same format, but implementing more than just my opinion to the piece. Which in any case it is always good to have more opinions than less. So, nonetheless, we are back and we are stronger than ever with our Tribunal of opinions on whether you should spend your hard earned money on each weeks offerings. This week we have Gears of War Judgment, Dead or Alive 5 Plus, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for both the 3DS and Wii U, and last but not least Need for Speed: Most Wanted on the Wii U. Before we get to the games though, lets meet our Tribunal. First, we have me of course, Aaron. Followed by Nick, Vivek, Ries, and Phillip. We also have two guests this week Chris (a former writer and host of DualStix podcast that can be found on iTunes), and Ross (Long time gamer and friend of Aaron’s)
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted debuted in 2005, with the Xbox 360 version being the first then next-generation title in the franchise.
This game was awesome! I remember reloading my save if I didn’t get the pink slip from my blacklist rival
Gears of War: Judgment launched 10 years ago today, and quickly became one of the most misunderstood titles in the series.
Easily the best control-wise of the series. Judgment introduced melee-ing with the lancer and is still the only installment of the series (to date) which enables you to change weapons while roadie running simultaneously.
Gears 2&5 are the worst controlling in the series.
The Arcady aspects of the campaign should have been unlocked after completing a campaign play through. Seeing score screen after battles caused awkward pacing. The multiplayer was too different from other Gears games.
Judgment felt more like an expansion than an actually game. To me, I was fatigued from the series at that point. The story was ok, over all it wasn’t bad.
