"CastleStorm is one of the most unique games to be released this year and its not only super fun, its super addictive, formed from a combination of so many different games that it is in a genre by itself. The game has also received some added gameplay via the themed downloadable content, the most recent of which is The Warrior Queen."
GG3 reports on more sweet gaming deals. Digital distributor Get Games is offering a 25% discount for the newly release Shadow Warrior remake. More so, it's lobbing in a free copy of Doom 3 BFG to boot.

"Long before I knew what an RPG was, I was a huge fan of a game called Dragon Warrior for the NES. Its gameplay style was so different from anything else I had ever played. In my quest to find the elusive sequel, I discovered the third game in the series, Dragon Warrior III, actually existed.
Dragon Warrior is, of course, the name given to the English localizations of the Dragon Quest series prior to the Square Enix merger. Despite being one of the most popular game series ever in Japan, the Dragon Quest series has had its ups and downs in the West."
Vandal:WWE 2k14 is as good and complete as previous editions, but has a key factor for those who continue this show in our childhood, 30 years of WrestleMania, a game mode just fantastic, with which we'll have some of recreating pump the highlights of this particular sport. Maybe now American wrestling does not have much popularity in our country, but more than one would be surprised to prove a fighting game as good as this, which this year, bringing back legends like The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan , is ideal for beginners and find out. Again, highly recommended.
Who's the greatest showman of the 20th century? Michael Jackson? Harry Houdini? Or maybe you're partial to Ted Danson. These are all fine choices, if you like going the obvious route. How about someone who transformed the flashy fisticuffs of professional wrestling into an art form? Enter Randy Savage. No one else could have made sequined robes seem like the perfect attire for a burly man. And it's not like my high opinion of Savage is because of my hazy memory. His gruff, stilted speech and deliberate mannerisms enthrall me just as much today as they did so many years ago. The Macho Man was a theatrical genius, and the embodiment of everything that makes professional wrestling so compelling.
When the wrestlers of my youth faded into the sunset, so too did my interest in the WWE. But the nostalgic flame of yesteryear still burns inside me. All of those old feelings were rekindled in WWE 2K14. There's a mode called 30 Years of WrestleMania that focuses on the history of wrestling's Super Bowl. I got a warm glow in my chest when I replayed some of these classic matches. Remember when The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan exchanged clotheslines in the center of the ring? Oh, how thrilling it was to see these two titans go toe-to-toe to settle whatever feud they had. By the end of the fight, Warrior's face paint had chipped away, and we could finally see what the real man looked like. And then there was the time Andre the Giant callously tossed hundred-dollar bills after triumphing over Big John Studd. Such a blatant and hilarious disregard for money!
An abomination only possible in the character creator. You should see his feet.
If you ever wanted to be Vince McMahon (minus the ridiculous walk), Universe mode lets you tinker with the behind-the-scenes drama. Create feuds between wrestlers who used to be best friends and shake up the calendar if you've ever wished that Raw would air on Tuesdays. Universe mode is certainly interesting if you've ever dreamed of crazy scenarios, but it doesn't make up for the lackluster wrestling once you step back in the ring. At least there's one element outside the ring that anyone could enjoy. Creation mode let's you design an unholy monster to be your champion, which is absolutely riveting if you have a maniacal disposition. Make someone with teeny, tiny legs and cross your fingers that his femur doesn't snap in the middle of a bout. Or maybe you want his bones to break. Whatever floats your boat.
It's a shame the wrestling isn't up to par in WWE 2K14 because the elements surrounding it are so interesting. Though not nearly as captivating as Randy Savage, The Undertaker has a mode dedicated to his undefeated record in WrestleManias. You have the option to knock him from his lofty perch with a willing participant, or fend off everyone clamoring for your throne as The Undertaker. It's a neat mode that embraces one of the iconic personalities in the sport, but none of these activities have lasting appeal because fights are so dreary. When WWE 2K14 does work, its because of its recreation of history. For anyone who grew up loving professional wrestling, be prepared to be swept away in a tide of nostalgia. If only the core action could have been as compelling.
