Mark of the Ninja: Remastered (PC/Steam)
It seems to me that we humans have some kind of natural affinity for the number three. If we can figure out a way to apply some variation of a “Rule of Three” to our lives, we’ll have already done it before you can count to … oh dang, I almost did it. From the…
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy: Crash Bandicoot (PC/Steam)
Aw Crash Bandicoot, you’ll always be a solid number ten in our hearts. The tenth best selling game on PS1 that is. And while that might sound like “damning with faint praise”, it slots Crash Bandicoot directly in between Metal Gear Solid (at the #9 slot) and Resident Evil 2 (at #11). So pretty impressive…
Cuphead (PC/Steam)
As this blog has taken shape over the years, I’ve made reference to the fact that the original intent was to gather up game reviews I’d previously written into a single source repository. Any article beginning with a “Review archived from [Date]” citation originally appeared somewhere else. What I’ve never made explicitly clear was that…
Halo: The Master Chief Collection: Halo: CE Anniversary (PC/Steam)
Halo: The Master Chief Collection: Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary sure is helluva a verbose title isn’t it? All those colons! So! Our first order of business here is to make that word salad a bit more palatable. For the remainder of the review I’m just going to refer to the game by its original working…
Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from April 15, 2023) Shovel Knight is one of the finest examples of what I’d consider to be ‘the golden age of modern retro-style games,’ a period of time I’d loosely bound as being between the years of 2010 and 2015. These days you practically can’t even skip a loose Super Metroid cart…
She and The Light Bearer (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from February 12, 2023) She and the Light Bearer is a game with personality and heart, that much is clear. What we have here is a point and click adventure game with a gorgeous dreamy art style that serves well as backdrop for the creation myth fable it conveys. It’s a game that…
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from February 6, 2023) While everyone else was preparing for some other open world Harry Potter game, I opted to dip into the Pensieve and re-visit a much earlier iteration on the concept … Within reasonable margins, I don’t really believe in ‘guilty pleasures’. So long as you enjoy it, and it’s not actively harmful…
Bioshock 2: Minerva’s Den (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from January 4, 2019) Although it’s been a few years since I played Bioshock 2, I had never completed this DLC expansion pack. But to call Minerva’s Den a mere ‘expansion pack’ is a bit of a disservice actually. What we have here is a full-fledged single player campaign with a nicely written…
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…
