Eric Frederiksen's Reviews

Eric Frederiksen has been a gamer since someone made the mistake of letting him play their Nintendo many years ago, pushing him to beg for his own, and it's been downhill ever since. Eric takes a multifaceted approach to gaming news and reviews, mixing business analysis, cultural studies, tech and design. Eric has written for outlets like TechnoBuffalo.com, Playboy.com, TabTimes.com, and Kombo.com. In his free time, Eric perfects his napping technique and pursues the elusive perfect cheeseburger.

This gorgeous game has little to offer in the way of fun.

Play at your own risk. There are some amazing sights to see and some weird, hilarious creatures. But you’re getting a half-finished game along with it.

There's a cool little game somewhere in here, but I couldn't get past my frustration to find it.

When we're coming up on the end of the year, I don't think the game is going to win any awards for best game or best writing. Ultimately, it's not a Great game, with a capital G. It's a really good one, and it's a lot of fun.

Far Cry Primal takes the series back. Way, way back. Is it enough to revive a stale concept?

Layers of Fear will try over and over to scare you. You might jump, but you'll sleep just fine.

Fallout 4 offers a whole lot of game for $60. It's a fantastic adventure into the wasteland, and it's packed with diverse content.

Rock Band 4 is a mix of some new and a lot of old. That's not a bad thing.

Uncharted's compilation transcends simple remasters with attention to artistic and technical detail.

It's an interesting experience that shows at the same time how Frictional is trying to break out of their mold but simultaneously held back by it, and I hope they can stretch out even further the next time around.

I really enjoyed my time with Until Dawn, and I'm itching to replay it. In many ways, it reminds me of Quantic Dream games like Heavy Rain, except it works and works very well. It respects its characters and the player while offering those same kind of immersive cinematic experience those games went for. If you're a horror fan, Until Dawn is a must-play. It's a love letter and a fresh creation of its own and worth seeking out.

When the games of this fall start rolling out, we're going to have plenty of opportunities to shoot, stab, and blow up everything we can get our crosshairs on. For now, exploring a sunlit village in Shropshire, England feels like a good, short diversion.

If already bought the game, though, there's nothing new here – just the updated game and assembled DLC. Aside from the visual improvements, this is the same game it was on PlayStation 3, for better or worse.

Not a Hero shows us that Roll7 didn't just hit on a lucky concept with OlliOlli but rather seems to have found a niche for themselves making funny, colorful, and precise action games.
