Tale of Tales | March 21, 2008 I’m going to be up front here. This isn’t much of a “review”. It is more of a commentary on a “game”. The graveyard is not a game in any real traditional sense. Even Universe Sandbox, which is more of a simulator, still has some gamey aspects to it. The only real gamey aspects here are the fact that it runs on a PC and is a 3D rendering with basic controls. There is no real plot, there is only one character, unless […]
Review – Vigil: Blood Bitterness (PC)
Freegamer | Meridian 4 | June 29th, 2007 So these days I try to make it a policy to complete a game before doing any sort of review. The thought is, I should experience all of it before passing judgment on it. Sometimes in order to complete this task I do resort to walkthroughs or even in game cheat codes. This tends to factor into the review however. If a game is too confusing to get through without a walkthrough or too difficult to finish properly without cheating then there […]
Review – VVVVVV (PC)
I’m not real sure what to call this game. VeeVeeVeeVeeVeeVee just doesn’t quite roll off the tongue. Given the gravity based gimmick I’d say it’s more likely the name is Up Down Up Down.

The name may also be symbolic of the numerous instant death spikes floating around the game. It’s multifaceted and deep…. or whatever…. Speaking of the game’s gimmick, the […]
Pokemon Go Go-tcha Band
So, I should preface a bit by saying, I am a very casual level player of Pokemon Go. I mean maybe I am overestimating the level of most players, but I often see people talking about burning through hundreds of Pokemon and eggs and stardust to maximize this or that. There are gyms an raids that I barely ever participate in. My interest in Pokemon Go extends mostly to “It’s Pokemon” because it’s not really Pokemon. It’s more, incentivized walking. Which is also why I care about Pokemon Go, at […]
Review – Mario Kart DS (NDS)
Mario Kart DSNintendo DS – Nintendo1 to 8 players (4 max on WiFi) You’d think it would be easier to review games that you like than to review games you don’t like. Trust me, it’s not. When you review a game you don’t like, you point out all its glaring flaws. You poke a few jokes at its expense, you tell everyone to avoid it, simple. The process for reviewing a good game is similar except you have to be careful to not come off like some sort of deluded […]
