While perusing a local vintage game store, I blundered upon The Lost World: Jurassic Park for the PlayStation 1. I bought it, played it, and woke up the next day with patches of hair missing from my head. Visually, for its time, it’s a good game, and the sounds are fantastic. The gameplay, however, leaves you wanting. Developed by DreamWorks Interactive, and published by Electronic … Continue reading The Lost World: Jurassic Park
In the short time (five to eight hours) that I spent with Red Fly Studio’s Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi for Nintendo DS, I spoke aloud curse words that I didn’t even know I knew, almost broke my console in half, and just about gave up. I also jammed to some good music, tried out three classes of talking mushrooms, and beat a giant … Continue reading Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi
With the upcoming release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on my mind, it seemed like an appropriate time to strap on the steel and silver swords and wander into the wilderness with CD Projekt Red’s, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Enhanced Edition) for the Xbox 360. I was completely new to this series, as I’d been given a copy of the original Witcher for … Continue reading The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Enhanced Edition)
Recently, I snagged a copy of Nintendo’s, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX on the 3DS Virtual Console. This was a colorized, re-release/port from the original 1993 Game Boy title. Eventually, it made it over to the Game Boy Color in December of 1998, with a couple of extra features tacked on (an extra dungeon, and use of the Game Boy Printer for snapshots … Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles for the Playstation 1 is a game that I had located in a bargain bin about a year ago. After watching the trailer for The Force Awakens the other day, I decided to dig it out and finally give it a chance. I’m not too sure that was the best idea. My time could have been better used cleaning my … Continue reading Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles (PS1)
One early morning after work, I stood in front of that ominous, red kiosk for what seemed like ages, attempting to determine what game to grab. I finally convinced myself that I would do my friend (an avid fan of the Far Cry series) a favor, and pick up Far Cry 3 for the PS3. I was not a fan of the series before I … Continue reading Far Cry 3
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to traverse a fantasy landscape (littered with wolves, giants, and sea turtles), while tied to your brother with a ten-foot long rope? Are you exceptionally adequate at drawing a straight line with one hand, while painting still-life with the other? You won’t actually do that in Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons, but the control scheme … Continue reading Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
I held off getting a current gen system until I was certain there would be enough games to keep me busy and entertained. With the release of The Witcher 3 and Batman, that time came. I finally decided to go for it. I put all of my chickens in one basket, and took them down to the local game store. Turns out they don’t take … Continue reading Batman: Arkham Knight
