Review – Back to the Future the Game (PC)

Telltale is one of those companies that focuses on a single type of game.  They are the absolute king of the “Slightly Overly Simple Un-losable Adventure Game” niche.  They are also working very hard on becoming king of the “Somewhat Unlikely Licensed Based Slightly Overly Simple Un-losable Adventure Game” niche.  They have Homestar Runner, Wallace & Grommit, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park and Law & Order, just to name, well, most of them.  There is also Sam & Max but I believe that is an in house property.  Back to the Future was the first real hit in this…

Review – Saints Row the Third DLC Part 1: Genki Bowl VII & Shark Attack Pack (PC)

I’m pretty torn on the Downloadable content for Saints Row the Third here.  On one hand, I really love this game, and more is good.  On the other hand, a load of it is costumes that SHOULD have been built into the game to start with.  At the very least they should run closer to a buck each and not the standard $2-$3.  Yeah, yeah, $3 is not much but consider that at this point, buying all of the DLC will cost you MORE than the game itself.  It adds up. I did get some of the DLC off of…

Review – The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (PC)

Aside from Saints Row the III, I’ve been spending a decent amount of my gaming time playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I have made it no secret that I am a huge fan of this series of games.

While it is very enjoyable, there seems to have been some core focus shift in the design of this game, especially when comparing it to Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout, and New Vegas. Here’s a few general observations… The game seems to be much more story focused. Or possibly the story is…

Review – Trine 2 (PC)

Frozenbyte | 12.07.2011 It feels uncommon for Indie games to get sequels.  It really probably isn’t but it just seems to be the case.  There could be a myriad of reasons behind this of course, return doesn’t work out to enough from the investment or even just the developer exhausted every angle they could push for a title in it’s fist outing.  Whatever the reason, Frozenbyte, the creators of Trine, didn’t follow that model and gave us a sequel. Really, Trine deserves a sequel more than most indie games anyway.  The original game is extremely well done all around.  It…

Review – Dino D-Day (PC)

So I was pretty excited over Dino D-Day when it was first announced.  The idea seemed goofy and it was accompanied by a campy campaign of fake WWII posters about Dinosaurs.  Plus, few games let you really play as Dinosaurs that I can think of.  Actually the only one I can think of is Jurassic Park on the Genesis, which was pretty awesome to play as the Velociraptor.  This was back in the days when Velociraptors looked like bad ass mini T-Rexes and not this modern day “They have feathers and look like Dinosaur Chickens” bull crap.  SCREW YOU SCIENCE.…
