It’s been awhile since I did a good ol’ Rad Listed! For the uninitiated, Rad listed is a nice short write up, where I write up a quick few sentences about every game I’ve been playing lately with some quick anecdotes. This time, we have quite a lineup, and I even wanted to touch on a couple board games I’ve been really into lately, too! Without further ado, here are the games I’ve been playing lately: God of War Wow……
It’s been five years since the latest God of War installment, and here comes 2018 with a new entry to the series! Not only that, this isn’t a reboot like many speculated at first– it’s an actual continuation of the God of War story! Whatever will Kratos do after he destroyed an entire pantheon of Gods? I suppose he has no choice but to bring the fight to a whole other pantheon! What else is a Kratos to do? When…
I cannot boast that I began as an X-Com fan with the original iterations, which I’ve heard are some of the most difficult games out there. No, X-Com didn’t appear on my radar until the Oct 2012 release of X-Com: Enemy Unknown; a modern reboot and re-envisioning of the originals. For the uninitiated, X-Com 2 is a turn-based tactical RPG, with light base-building in between combat missions. You take on recruits that are assigned a class at second rank, and…
The upcoming installment of the newest iteration in the Tom Clancy franchise, The Division, had an open beta last weekend that anyone could take part in on the PC, PS4, and XBOX One. I had the chance to play a bit of it over the weekend on PC, and I had a pretty good time with friends. Understandably, the open beta was pretty limited. The character creation was basically disabled, only providing gender and randomized presets, so I did…
We’ve hit a bit of a gaming drought since Fallout 4 came out in November. However, the gaming season is starting to heat up again with some great games coming out in the next couple months. Here are the games I’m most excited about in the coming days: Dark Souls III To say I’m a Souls fan would be an understatement. I’ve played every single Souls game, and I even bought a PS4 just so I could play Bloodborne! Well,…
Wow! Has it been 3 months since my last post!? Too busy playing games, not enough time writing about them. Fortunately, I have a lot of amazing games to talk about, and a ton of great recommendations to make. There’s also a lot of exciting games coming out in the next few months to look forward to as well! Before I get started, I wanted to mention that the Chats with Rad Teamspeak server is still up and running and…
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the latest installment in Hideo Kojima’s decade-spanning Metal Gear series. The first Metal Gear came out in 1987, almost three decades ago! Unfortunately, this will be our last Metal Gear game spearheaded by the mastermind behind the series, Hideo Kojima. Kojima has officially parted ways with Konami, and while this does not spell the end of the Metal Gear franchise, it does mean Kojima will no longer be a part of the…
Would you believe me if I told you that it’s been about a decade since the last Star Wars: Battlefront game? It’s true! Battlefront II was released on PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC on November 1st, 2005! Personally, I just can’t believe it’s been that long– I must be suffering from the time dilation effects that come with getting older! The new entry to the series; Star Wars: Battlefront, will be available soon, come November 17th, 2015. Game developer DICE,…
Hey everybody, I’ve been a bit of a slacker lately– missing two weeks! But, I’m back, and I have a lot of exciting things coming soon, including a new “about” page coming down the pipe. If you haven’t noticed by now, there is also a new page describing how to connect to the official “Chats with Rad” TeamSpeak voice server. You can find the information in the above page links titled “TeamSpeak Voice Server”. Feel free to join us anytime–…
Diablo 3 Diablo is three years old at this point, and it’s still one of the best in the genre. Blizzard is still supporting it, too! A recent patch added some new features to legendary equipment and Season 4 has begun, complete with account-wide rewards. There’s even some Heroes of the Storm goodies for leveling a season character to max level. There’s something about this loot pinata that get me every time! Ark: Survival Evolved Have you ever watched Jurassic…
