Shawn Petraschuk's Reviews

Fearless leader, dashing and debonair Executive Editor, and Co-Founder/Owner of COGconnected. Raised on an NES, came of age on the PS1, turned 'crusty, old grumpy gamer' on the Xbox One and PS4. I play it all from shooters to RPGs all while grumbling about getting owned by 12 year olds. The reflexes just ain't what they used to be ya know?

The game truly is enhanced in every sense of the word and should serve as a great introduction for console gamers to the world of hardcore PC RPG experiences.

90 / 100 - Quantum Break
Apr 1, 2016

When the powers are flying and debris litters the air, strangely frozen in time, it creates some of the most beautiful chaos I've ever seen in a game.

90 / 100 - Fallout 4
Nov 10, 2015

Fallout 4 might not reach the insane expectations of the hype that built it up these past few months but it undoubtedly comes closer than many other games that have been in the same predicament. Complex, full of depth and infinitely customizable, Fallout 4 manages to stand above its glitches and odd subpar animations to be an experience well worth having. Venture forth from Vault 111 and have a blast!

90 / 100 - Child of Light
Apr 30, 2014

Between its artistic strengths and its addictive gameplay Child of Light is a fairy tale well worth the price of admission that I wish more studios would take notice of.

92 / 100 - Rayman Legends
Sep 13, 2013

Rayman Legends is the most fun I’ve had platforming in a very long time. The game’s impossible to put down gameplay really does give the Big N and their Mario goodness a quality ‘run for its money’.

The amount of work put into offering next-gen consoles an upgraded Lara Croft makes the Definitive Edition much more than a simple cash grab. One of the pinnacles of last-gen gaming is presented as one of the best looking games on offer for your new console if not one of the best looking games you've ever seen, period. Perhaps not worth the full price tag if you've already played it there is no doubt that if you missed it on round one that it's better than ever now and worth every penny.

I truly can't say enough good things about inFAMOUS: Second Son. A winning combination of great gameplay, challenging combat, solid acting, gorgeous visuals and more makes it one of the PlayStation 4's absolute must own titles.
