Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from November 21, 2018) Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time served to reboot the venerable Prince of Persia series following on the heels of Prince of Persia 3D which was the series’ first fully 3D title … albeit a rather poor game. Thankfully The Sands of Time provided a fresh start for…
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations: The Lost Archive (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from November 4, 2018) The Lost Archive has us assuming the role of Clay Kaczmarek who was the ill-fated predecessor of Desmond Miles in the Animus project. There’s not a whole lot of plot to be found in this expansion, but it’s here that we learn a little bit about the history of the enigmatic…
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from October 31, 2018) Once you get deep into an episodic story, it gets a little bit hard to talk about without spoilers. I’m going to do my best to avoid that in this review, but do be aware that I’m talking about the fourth game (or fifth depending on how you count…
Silent Hill 2 (PC)
(Review archived from October 15, 2018) In my restless dreams,I see that town.Silent Hill.You promised you’d take methere again someday.… But you never did. Well I’m alone there now …In our ‘special place’ …Waiting for you. If you’ve played Silent Hill 2 before, you know these words well. Heck, if you’re a superfan you can…
The Dame Was Loaded (PC/GOG)
(Review archived from April 30, 2018) The Dame Was Loaded is a decent adventure game and a particularly nice example of FMV done right. What we have here is a classic hard-boiled detective story filled with wisecracking mooks and dames in snappy dress with even snappier comebacks. If you’re thinking Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe,…
A Fork in the Tale (PC)
(Review archived from April 18, 2018) Initially I really wanted to roast A Fork in the Tale, because well … negative reviews are always more fun to write and “Har har, FMV sux”. I even wrote a bit of a takedown piece based on my initial impressions of the game after having played it for an hour…
The Colonel’s Bequest (PC/GOG)
(Review archived from March 12, 2018) The Colonel’s Bequest wears its murder mystery inspirations on its sleeve. This is a ‘murder mystery in a mansion’ that plays it fairly straight as an homage to the works of Agatha Christie most prominently. The heroine detective, the time period, and the menagerie of possible suspects are all…
Half-Life: Source (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from February 2, 2018) Half-Life was a game that I missed at the time of its original release and never got around to playing in subsequent years. The primary reason for this is that I was an exclusive console gamer at the time and too darned poor to really delve into the popular…
To the Moon (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from January 8, 2018) To the Moon is one of those critical darlings of the indie scene from a few years back that I always seem to finally play well after the hubbub has died down. While its RPG Maker roots are still pretty apparent in terms of graphical assets, I feel that…
