2001: A Space Odyssey is still what I would consider to be one of the best films of all time. Despite the fact that the futuristic universe 2001 imagined has never come, it has an unrivalled aesthetic, soundtrack, and style which remains second-to-none. The special effects, impressive beyond anything seen before in 1968 are still…
Mortal Kombat. Yes, with a K. No, I’m not pulling your leg. Someone actually named their fighting game like that. Who would’ve thunk it? Crazy, huh? Alright, time to drop the charade. There have been a ton of Mortal Kombat games over the years. The series has seen its share of success and a couple…
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…
Adventure games might be in constant shift nowadays, but there’s nothing like a classically styled title like The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 to remind us that the genre is still very much alive and kicking. After starting its existence as a Kickstarter project, KING Art’s The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 picks up where…
There’s nothing like being trapped on an inhospitable alien world with no hope of rescue to really get the blood pumping. At least, that what I’d believe; surely it would be incredibly stressful? Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock begs to differ. When the small spacecraft Morningstar crash lands mysteriously on the planet Deadrock its surviving crew…
Cities: Skylines is hard to fault. It’s efficient. It’s concise. It’s streamlined. It doesn’t have shoe-horned multiplayer. It doesn’t tax your computer. It supports a massive amount of land. It’s cheap. And most of all, it supports a modding community. Skylines is the SimCity that everyone wanted at a much more aggressive price point. If…
LittleBigPlanet 3 is a decent LittleBigPlanet game. If you’re into what the previous games did and want to carry your creative capabilities over onto Sony’s new console, it’s the game for you. However, if your sole purpose is to jump into single-player or to simply enjoy the host of user-created material that’s readily available as…
Few games today look as good as The Order: 1886. Ready at Dawn’s first foray outside of portable gaming is easily the most graphically intensive games out so far for the PlayStation 4. And while it’s certainly astonishingly detailed, a wonder for the eyes and ears, it’s a deeply flawed bare bones shooter. It’s a…
In the time since completing A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build, I’ve found myself loading it up briefly just to roam about for a few minutes. Even with all the snowmen built and nothing more to do, I can’t help but visit them, see how they’re doing. Walking about the park, sitting back and…
Pro Pinball: Timeshock! is okay. Originally a Kickstarter campaign, Timeshock attempts to revitalize one of the mid-90s’ most beloved virtual pinball series. Their saving grace was attention to detail and a slavish devotion to physics. If it’s supposed to mimic a real life pinball table, it’ll be something in Pro Pinball. In short, the strengths and…
