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…
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from February 24, 2015) Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is the second chapter in the ongoing saga of the inimitable assassin Ezio Auditore. In many ways this game dials in the scope of the story of Ezio while continuing to refine and expand upon gameplay elements present in the Assassin’s Creed series. The story in Brotherhood picks…
Richard & Alice (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from January 19, 2015) Richard & Alice strikes me as a hybrid mix of point & click adventure meets visual novel. Let’s start out with the high points here. The story of Richard & Alice is absolutely compelling with a particular high note being the well written dialog between characters. The conversational segments…
BioShock 2 (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from January 7, 2015) If popular opinion is to be believed, Bioshock 2 is a game that suffers under the shadow of the remarkable first game in the series, which is mostly regarded as being the better of the two journeys into the depths of Rapture (that is, if one can actually classify…
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from December 5, 2014) First let me say that this is a great game. It maintains the classic “collect all the stuff” game play of other Lego titles, as well as the trademark humor and exploration, but it also does a few things differently. Specifically the spells that you learn throughout the course…
Assassin’s Creed II (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from November 9, 2014) Time for a triple-A action adventure title! I played through the first title last year, and I enjoyed that one quite a lot as well, but every time I mentioned how much I enjoyed the first one, inevitably someone would retort, “Yes, but have you played the second one?”…
Costume Quest (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from October 26, 2014) A lightweight but enjoyable RPG brought to you from the mind of Tim Schafer. This one can get by on it’s wit, charm, and good looks alone. The story is that you’re a kid out trick-or-treating on Halloween in a town that’s mysteriously being overrun with Monsters. The hook…
