The Pitt has had me patiently waiting but is it really worth falling in to?

 

The Pitt is the latest expansion to Bethesda’s smash hit Fallout 3. As you may be able to tell by the title it takes place in Pittsburg and you probably will assume it’s all blown up because it is Fallout 3. Well guess what, your right.

As you probably know already since you are reading this review, Fallout 3 is a very pretty game considering the size and scope of it and the newest DLC is just as good if not better. The Pitt is beautiful in an ugly post apocalyptic kind of way; Bethesda got the feeling of an old destroyed city full of murder and mayhem just right. Just like the last expansion The Pitt has a little different color palette to it. Everything in the pint has a yellowish orange tint or glow to it, which only adds to the sense of anarchy in the city. All of the places you travel to in The Pitt are very detailed and different. When entering The Pitt you see the size and scope of this crumbling city and it looks great. After entering the city you get to walk through the remains of a once industrial giant that has since fallen in to chaos, each place in The Pitt really gives you a feeling of gloom and anarchy much like the Capitol Wasteland.

Resident Evil 5 Review

Four years ago Leon Kennedy burst onto our screens in what would come to define the survival horror genre. Resident Evil 4 blended classic Resi frights and puzzles with modern day action orientated controls. The result was possibly the best entry in Capcom’s illustrious series.

 

Now, after years of anticipation fraught with speculation, the sequel to the critically acclaimed game has arrived. Resident Evil 5 once again puts players in the shoes of Chris Redfield, except this time they’ll find the experience incredibly different from his first outing. Those who remember the roots of the series in the original Resident Evil will find Capcom’s latest entry to be an entirely different game, gone is the eerie tension, gone are the challenging puzzles, and gone is its claim to the survival horror genre.
