Critical opinions about the world of games.
There’s an old Monty Python sketch I’ve always enjoyed, that I thought of while playing Graveyard Keeper. Four pallbearers in traditional attire are carrying a coffin on their shoulders up a steep hill. It is hard work. Suddenly, one of the pallbearers staggers and passes out. The other three slowly set the coffin down, open… Continue reading Bringing Up the Bodies with Graveyard Keeper
The path for humanity into the future is looking increasingly uncertain in 2017. Numerous events, from the financial crisis, the rise of automation, global warming to the election of a certain so-called President, brought about a strong sense that the world is not heading in a great direction. Neofeud takes this bad path to one… Continue reading Neofeud: Do Androids Dream of a Fulfilling Future?
If you like Sorcery! 1 and 2, you will probably like Sorcery! 3. If you don’t like Sorcery! 1 and 2, then you won’t miss out on Sorcery! 3. If you haven’t played Sorcery! 1 and 2, don’t play Sorcery! 3. I’m serious. Sorcery! 3 isn’t a game for newer players. The series uses an… Continue reading Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! 3 Review
Surprise plays a huge part in anyone's enjoyment of a game. Seeing what something you've never heard about actually shapes up to be can either be the reason to start humming Ode to Joy or curse the waste of time and money you've just started playing. In the case of Grow Home, the overpowering feeling… Continue reading Grow Home Review
For as much as I talk about and praise the recent resurgence of adventure games under a more modern design philosophy, whenever there's a release that sticks to the roots of the genre, somewhere deep in my mind, my twelve year old self smiles and rubs his hands, gingerly. As a fan of adventure games… Continue reading Quest for Infamy Review
2014 has seen its share of high definition remakes. Although most of these re-releases are ultimately unnecessary, there's something to be said about The Last of Us Remastered. Released around the one year mark of the original Playstation 3 release, Remastered takes the base game and all of its season pass content that includes the… Continue reading The Last of Us Remastered Review
The name Spintires doesn't offer a whole lot of confidence right off the grid. It's extremely bland and doesn't say anything other than the most basic thing that a road vehicle does. So when you boot up a game with this sort of name, expectations start off very low, and in most cases, you meet… Continue reading Spintires Review
Videogames and obstacle courses are one of those weird pairings that always works. Something about swiftly navigating ridiculously treacherous courses never ceases to entertain. It’s why games like Trials continue to see great success. Action Henk from RageSquid, which just launched on Steam early access, but instead of relying on a specific catch to instill… Continue reading A Look At: Action Henk
I have a big soft spot for State of Decay, a game that came out of nowhere last year and left its mark as more than just a Grand Theft Auto clone with zombies. A year later, we're getting yet another DLC, titled Lifeline. Lifeline, unlike Undead Labs' first go at DLC with Breakdown, includes… Continue reading Check’ DLC Out – State of Decay: Lifeline
We're finally closing in on a resolution to The Wolf Among Us. While Episode 4 throws out a boat ton of answers, it lifts and spins a Titanic load of questions for good measure. Oh, and a pretty awesome fight too. Even with Bigsby on the mend after his beating in the hands of Bloody… Continue reading The Wolf Among Us – Episode 4: In Sheep’s Clothing Review
