Review – Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC

Review • Drop Bear Contributors • April 24, 2013 5:45 pm

It seems like only last week that Revolution was released, and everyone was in the throes of hammering out challenges for the Peacekeeper, diving through toppled, gravity-confused skyscrapers in Die Rise, and hunting the sole human in Turned mode, apart from wiping out the entire population of Earth on Hydro, Downhill, Grind, and Mirage. As it turns out, that was right at the very end of February, and with a nice 2-month time period for gamers to pay up, blast some more people/zombies, and eventually go somewhere else, Activision and Treyarch have given us the second of four DLC releases for Black Ops 2. Now, I hear you asking “How does Uprising compare to Revolution?” and to answer that particular question, I offer one response – keep reading!

Modern Warfare 3

Review • Susie • November 10, 2011 7:09 pm

Lots of reviews for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are already available, but it would be irresponsible for Drop Bear Gaming to not do the same. Over the past 48 hours since its release, I’ve had the luxury to sit down with the Single Player campaign, Spec Ops, and Multiplayer. Read more…

What Can You Play At EB Expo?

News • Lucas • October 13, 2011 5:43 am

EB Games Expo is only just around the corner and as promised you can expect to have your socks blown off. As per the recent press release EB is blowing their horn and have labeled the event the ‘biggest video games event Australia has ever seen’. That’s not really that hard, in the scheme of things we seem to get. However this time all they needed to say were those magic words and I was a believer. Read more…

Can Battlefield 3 be the CoD Giant Killer?

The Outer Worlds (PS4)

Reviewed on Episode 151

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint (PS4)

Reviewed on Episode 150

Despite some big changes from Wildlands this sequel doesn't quite manage to differentiate itself in a crowded market. While still an immensely fun game with a strong story, it is another Ubisoft 4-person co-op shooter by numbers.

Concrete Genie (PS4)

Reviewed on Episode 150

What starts off as a beautiful and unique experience loses it's way fairly early into this short game. While still managing to be a charming game throughout, the painting mechanics aren't quite nuanced enough to hold up for the journey through. A disjointed combat mechanic thrown in mid-way doesn't help either.

MediEvil (PS4)

Reviewed on Episode 150

A loving coat of fresh paint gives this PSone classic a new life on the PS4. While it still has some of the quirks of PSone gaming it is still great to nostalgically revisit the epic story of Sir Daniel Fortesque.
