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…
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…
Rocksmith 2014 Edition: Remastered (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from November 27, 2017) TL;DR Pros: Cons: Introduction This is a game.This is not a game. ‘Gamification’ is an idea that has gained in popularity over the last five years or so. What gamification does is to inject non-gaming activities into a gaming framework via principles of game design, in-game progress, and reward…
Grim Fandango Remastered (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from January 20, 2016) This is one of those games that manages to get by purely on the strength of its wit, charm, and guile. And that’s all it needs really. Sure the gameplay is sort of janky in parts. Sure the pacing is a hot mess. Sure there are several off the wall ‘moon-logic’…
Dead Island (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from January 20, 2016) This game is a jack of all trades master of none. It’s a first person brawler, a driving game, a FPS, it has RPG styled skill trees, etc. The trouble with this is that so many of its ideas seem a little half-baked as a result, which ultimately leaves…
Fallout (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from January 20, 2016) This is a game where I kind of lost my way in terms of providing a coherent end game summation. I honestly didn’t know what to say about it, and in many was I still don’t. First though let’s start with some basics. The hype around this game is…
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from July 29, 2015) As the title indicates, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga is an amalgamation of two earlier games, LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. I’m calling this an amalgamation as opposed to a compilation due to the fact that the gameplay is…
Grand Theft Auto III (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from April 21, 2015) Every legend begins somewhere, and Grand Theft Auto III is the game that laid the foundation not only for the entire GTA series as we know it today, but in many ways for the entire open-world sandbox structure of games that continue to enjoy popularity. It’s been said that…
