When a game touts the importance of player choice on the outcome of some sort of epic storyline, I tend to expect deep, rich narrative that actually depends on the decisions I make throughout. Truth be told, when firing up a new game such as X-Men: Des...

X-Men Destiny, from the developers over at Silicon Knights, feels like a pretty basic brawler. It certainly doesn't do anything bad, but it fails to excite or do anything interesting with its comic book license. It's essentially a 3D old-school slugfes...

Oh Silicon Knights, what’s happened to you? You gave us the awesome RTS D&D game . You gave us . You gave us one of the best survival horrors games of all time in . However, since we hit this console generation, you’ve gone from one of the most trusted...
I don’t know what’s harder – to come up with a complete list of everything that is wrong with X-Men Destiny or to try and find something positive to say about the game. Since the former is longer, let’s go with the latter. X-Men Destiny is neither the...

There was a time when developer Silicon Knights was at the top of its form, creating some of the best games on the GameCube, namely the unnerving mind-funk that was Eternal Darkness and an excellent update of a PlayStation classic, Metal Gear Solid: Tw...
While the game was billed as an “action-RPG”, calling it that would be a gross overstatement. Sure, it satisfies a few terms of similarity, but even with an upgrade system thrown in and some hidden collectibles, this is very much a straightforward acti...

What good are mutant superpowers without exciting reasons to use them? As X-Men: Destiny proves, they're no good at all. In this superhero beat-'em-up, clobbering swarms of stupid bad guys with your newfound abilities is tedious, and although a constan...
A variety of powerful attacks to use.
Ally and enemy AI behavior is idiotic, Shallow, tedious combat, Choices have almost no impact on the course of the game, Ugly visuals.

It's never acknowledged at any point in X-Men Destiny that you're one of the most powerful mutants to ever appear in the X-Men universe. You can freely swap out abilities and powers at will, setting enemies on fire one second and freezing them the next...

On the surface, X-Men: Destiny sounds like a cruel joke. Imagine if someone told you, “we’re going to give you this massive action-fighter and include every mutant you’ve ever heard of (and maybe a few you haven’t) from the X-Men universe, but we’re no...

The X-Men series has enjoyed a boon in the last several years. The big screen outings have been mostly successful, and many more video games have been added to the X-Men lineup. Silicon Knights decided to jump into the mutant pool and see what superher...

I loved Silicon Knights and honestly, Eternal Darkness and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes were two of the only reasons why I eventually bought a Gamecube back in the day. To top it off, they're a Canada-based developer and being Canadia...
