People who were born in the year of the monkey relish the opportunity to truly indulge in their lives. Horror first-person shooter games are right up their alley. They thrive in urban settings like in F.E.A.R instead of other rural setting ga

CS:GO is a team game, and it takes proper coordination to find success in it. Even though individual brilliance carries a lot of weight, no game is winnable without the help of teammates and a proper game p

Before I tear into 2012 titles like Alan Wake: Night Springs , Mass Effect 3 , BioShock: Infinite , SSX , and Borderlands 2 , it's time for me to play catch-up after a busy November of reviews. I managed to resist the pull of both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 , though it will be a holiday miracle if I don't end up caving this month and enlisting in one or the other military campaign. However, more importantly, I'm about to return to the hallowed halls of the assassins for Assassins' Creed: Revelations . Desmond's fourth trip into the Animus was one of my most anticipated titles of 2011 and I'm fully committed to becoming a master assassin - as well as collecting all the miscellaneous garbage Ubisoft has scattered around Constantinople. I've also got to clean-up some collectibles as well as pawn n00bs in a few of October/November's biggest titles, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Gears of War 3 . That, and I'm going to dance my heart out in Dance Central 2 - and if high scores and smooth dance moves aren't enough motivation, I've got a bet to

The combat is system the same as any RPG, but there was a precise combo system that not many games at the time had. Nail them right and you would unleash lethal damage. I think if there was a sequel, they would be able to break away from all of the generics and finally become its own. LoD had tons of potential- they just borrowed too much from other ga

December means three things for me: KOTOR , KOTOR 2 and The Old Republic, plus a possible co-op playthrough of Resistance 3 . I'm also hoping to catch up on some games I've missed such as Shadows of the Damned and Yakuza 4 , and this before I get to all of the games I bought off of Steam's Fall S

Many players tend to push towards the enemies without any proper plan, especially at the beginning of the round. Pushing can be a good surprise tactic that is most suitable when you have nothing to l

Rats are smart and resourceful, which are characteristics you'll need while shooting and scavenging beasts and bandits in Borderlands 3. You might lack courage, but at least you can fight as a team. Right now is the ideal time to play Borderlands 3 since it has received a plethora of updates. There are three DLCs, classes received balancing tweaks, and the level cap is sitting firm at level

Chinese zodiac dogs think the worst of the world around them, much like the protagonist of BioShock Infinite , Booker Dewitt. Booker does everything he can to protect Elizabeth, who he believes to be important to him. This loyalty is reminiscent of a Chinese zodiac dog. Exercising caution as you progress through BioShock Infinite will help to reach the end. Despite being someone who thinks the worst of the world, you are a likable per

Monkeys prove to be creative and clever, but they can have trouble showing this at times. They'll be more suited for a first-person shooter like F.E.A.R. since they might not thrive in an online environm

This December my gaming focus is squarely centered on the PS3 versions Skyrim and Assassin's Creed: Revelations . I still have yet to give Arkham City a whirl, but it is on my short list to play. On the PC front I'm still playing Deux Ex: Human Revolution . What can I say? I'm a perfectionist, and it's a great game. Racing games have never been my forte but Forza Motorsport 4 will be the next game I purchase as I try to broaden my horizons a bit. However, I'm still itching with anticipation for Mass Effect 3 , and wonder how many play-throughs of ME2 I can manage before I get my conditions "just right." Stay safe during the holidays Rant

With Black Friday over, classic Offensive Mod I can now say that I'm looking forward to stabbing into Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Rayman: Origins which I picked up during the holiday hustle. I'm also almost finished with my second play through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is showing me just how many different ways there are to go through that game. I'm also going to grind out some more trophies for Uncharted 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Reco

Getting better at shooting takes proper learning, and not everybody is good at it. Most guns in CS:GO produce noticeable recoil while shooting, and controlling it is another skill that players developed over a period of t

A few members of the Game Rant crew were discussing which of our favorite titles we haven't had enough of - and would love to see again in sequel form. The only rule was that titles could have no direct sequel, excluding spin-offs, spiritual successors, or rema
