Review – Shatter (PC)

Sidhe | March 15th, 2011 I seem to be picking up a lot on Breakout clones lately.  Or maybe it’s just games that at the core are remakes of older classics I’ve been hitting a lot lately.  I suppose it’s an easy gimmick, take something people like, flashy it up and add a new gimmick or two, then throw it out into the world.  I’m not really complaining or anything but Shatter, like BIT.TRIP BEAT and Meteor, has it’s core in the game Breakout. It adds a few gimmicks to help keep it fresh at least. It’s kind of hard…

Review – Poker Night at the Inventory (PC)

Telltale Games | Nov 22, 2010 So Telltale games, makers of something like 90% of the Adventure games on the market (maybe) had an interesting idea. Why not take the idea of computer poker, and instead of playing against made up kooky PC characters you don’t recognizes, why not throw in a cast of known characters from popular games and nerd sites. Thus, you end up with Poker Night at the Inventory. You play poker against Tycho from Penny-Arcade, The Heavy, of Team Fortress 2 Fame, Telltale’s defacto mascot, Max, from the Sam & max series, and Strong Bad from the…

Review – Deus Ex (PC)

There was a short period in gaming time not too long ago where many hyped up games we released all around the same period of time. These include games like Oni, Deus Ex, and Shenmue, to name a few. These games all have one thing in common. All had mediocre everything with one amazing shinny new gimmick. In the end you get a game that more or less sucks except you still feel the need to play it because of this one gimmick. Oni had it's whole weapons and hand to hand combat thing, Shenmue had it's whole free range…

Review – Final Fantasy XI Beta (PC)

NOTE: This review was originally written for the PC Beta of FF11. I have no intention on ever purchasing the full version of the game as I do not like MMORPGs. (Additional Note, original date is approximate) Apparently Final Fantasy is a lot like Star Trek. Both are only good when they end in an even number. Also both have the one exception to this rule in slot 7. Guess 7 really is a lucky number. That isn’t to stay Star Trek 1/FF1 are bad really, just really long and boring. With the creation of Final Fantasy 11, Square has…

Review – The SIMS (PC)

Maxis Some games you just love to hate. Or maybe it's the other way around, you hate to love them. Then there are those you love and those you hate completely. I'm thinking The SIMS is just one I hate really, but I REALLY want to love it. This game is really easy to compare to Diablo 2. Both have similar play perspectives. Both have similar gameplay mechanics really. Both are games I really enjoy when I first start playing them but hate absolutely after about a week. Finally both are games I keep coming back to. To keep in…
