Brendan Frye's Reviews

8 Years in the industry and currently working as Editor at CGMagazine. Have been playing games since the late 80's. Still view Doom as one of the pivotal moments in game design.

Reaper of Souls will feel like a brand new game. Right from the get go, it is clear that Blizzard has taken what they have learned and addressed what people were upset about.

Nintendo delivers a new twist on Punch Out for The Switch and it already feels like the foundation of a new franchise.

Despite the price, Diablo III: Rise of the Necromancer is a must have for anyone that loves the series, it's a shame it took so long to be added to the game.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception tells two different stories—one serious, one sexy—that are so at odds with one another that it loses itself in the process.

Forza Motorsport 7 is an exhilarating racing experience that is slightly bogged down by a convoluted and time-consuming progression system.

Two Point Hospital manages that fine balance of nostalgia and new idea while making for a brilliant and fun management sim.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best game Rockstar Games has ever made, as it deftly combines one of the richest open worlds ever made with one of the most compelling stories of this generation.

World War Z has a great gameplay hook, but it unfortunately lacks the variety needed to keep it engaging past the first few hours.

For such a largescale RPG as Final Fantasy XII, it's great being to experience the title at home and on the go with all necessary enhancements

5.5 / 10.0 - Sea of Solitude
Jul 10, 2019

A clearly personal story told in a bland repetitive 3D platformer with padded gameplay, terrible voice acting, and no subtlety.

While I was skeptical at first, World of Warships has made the transition to consoles better than I thought possible, and is a blast to play!
