TooManyGames 2014! Be There, Because We Will!

Greeting Everyone,

We're finally coming out of the cave to the outside world.  Where to you ask?  Well, Nina (maybe) and I from DirectGamers will be at TooManyGames 2014!  If you are in the Pennsylvania area, more specifically in Oaks, Pa., come down on June 28th to TooManyGames to meet us.  We'll be around with friends checking out the games, buying gaming apparel, going to panels, and playing in the SSBB Project M tournament.  I'll hopefully see Andy from HorrorGuitar90 and Johnny, Matt, and Elliot from the Super Gaming Bros. and Somecallmejohnny.  Hopefully we will see you all, get some pictures, and have a grand ol' time.  You still have time to purchase your tickets online, and you can purchase your tickets at the door as well (hint: we'll be in line).  If you're there for all three days or just for one day, let's make it fun!  See you there!  For more information on TooManyGames, check out their website here.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie SEGA Genesis Review

The 90s were the Power Rangers' throne.  They had children engulfed into the phenomenon, parents enjoyed it, and they taught important life values such as friendship, teamwork, and self-defense.  So, how do you get higher when you're on top of that genre?  It's rather easy: Make a movie.  They did just that and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie came out in the summer of 1995.  Of course with a movie are movie based video games, and MMPR: The Movie was no exception with four titles, each one different from one another.  Is the power on in this game, or does Ivan Ooze make this game terrible like the Brady Bunch reunion (ha, movie reference)?  Let's power up for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie for the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive.

Is the Last of Us a story worth telling?

The Last of Us is a survival game developed by Naughty Dog. With Naughty Dog being the developers of beloved games such as Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, and Uncharted, it goes without saying that the bar is set pretty high for this game. So the only question that remains if this game lives of to the standards set by Naughty Dog or does it miss the mark?

Is raiding this tomb as fun as the original?

Tomb Raider is a reboot developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. If you were born in the 1990’s, you might know Crystal Dynamics for Gex or Legacy of Kain. If you were born after that, you might know them from a few other Tomb Raider games. This Tomb Raider game however is meant to go back to the games roots and show the origin story of our protagonist, Laura Croft. Does is it come to par or the fate of the game doomed to be lost at sea like her? Let’s find out.
