HST… Best Video Games of 2013

On this sad occasion we come to the end of HST’s Best Of 2013 lists, closing the week out with video games. What did you find yourself playing the most this past year?

Gaming Review: Assassin’s Creed IV DLC: Freedom Cry

I’ve never been blown away by the Assassin’s Creed DLC packs for all games in the series (though I never played those for III, which looked way cooler than the rest), and Freedom Cry continues this trend by being far from “need to play,” no matter how promising the protagonist is.

Gaming Review: Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

While playing Sid Meier’s Pirates! did you ever wish that you could take a microscope to that world to get a closer look at all the pirating going on? Then Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is the game for you!

Gaming Review: Batman: Arkham Origins

I’m going to do my best to keep this write up short and sweet because as much as I enjoyed Batman: Arkham Origins, there really isn’t too much more to add past my Arkham City review seeing as there isn’t much change from that sequel to this prequel.

Video Game Review: The Wolf Among Us Episode One: Faith

As we wait patiently for Telltale to release Season Two of The Walking Dead, the award winning game company released Episode One of re-imagining of Vertigo and Bill Willingham’s Fables comic series, entitled The Wolf Among Us.

Video Game Review: Grand Theft Auto V

After a couple weeks after initial release, I have finally finished Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V. And I must say, I am ready to suit up and dive right back into the city of Los Santos.

Looking Ahead To 2013: Quarter 4 (October – December)

With the end of the year heading this way, there’s only so much time to cram in all forms of entertainment from this year before it’s too late (if you’re writing an end of post, that is). With that said, there are still plenty of new releases heading this way competing for your attention.

Video Game Review: PayDay 2

After driving all over the city to find a copy, I finally got to sit down and enjoy PayDay 2. However, enjoyment only comes when the right conditions are prevalent.

Gaming Review: The Last Of Us

With a little over half of the year gone, The Last of Us is making quite the play for Film of the Year. I mean game. Game of the Year.

Looking Ahead To 2013: Quarter 3 (July – September)

Looks like it’s time again for the writers over at HST to look ahead to what we expect/hope to be the best of the best books, movies, music, TV shows and video games of the coming months.
