Review – Grand Theft Auto III (PS2)

So who hasn’t played Grand Theft Auto III?  Ok, probably a lot of people.  It was a game that really redefined the idea of what a game could be back when it was first released ten years ago in 2001.  I like to brag that I came up with the idea first personally, though it’s probably a real stretch.  A bit of some history. I played quite a bit of the first Grand Theft Auto with it’s more open ended top down game play.  The older games were less story driven than the later 3D titles, you generally just had…

Review – Super Mario 64 DS (NDS)

There are re-releases of games, and then there are remakes of games. Super Mario 64 DS certainly falls into the remake category. It’s essentially the same game at the core but it adds so many new features that it feels more like a remake. I suppose really it would need more of a graphics overhaul to be a true remake. I didn’t set out to own Mario 64 DS (Abbreviations from 2 systems? How does that work?). When I purchased my DS, Best Buy was running a promotion to get the game free. One might conclude that I didn’t really…

Review – Contra (NES)

Contra, why would we want to review a game that is like ten Twenty years old? I mean why not do the SIMs Second Life? or Lord of Destruction World of Warcraft? Or Half Life Half Life 2 – Episode 2, or whatever, the list goes on, the idea is why not something current. Well sometimes a game is just too go to be considered too old. When you can spend an entire night playing a ten year old game over and over you know it’s got to be a pretty decent game. You see back before 3D everything there…

Review – Doc Clock and the Toasted Sandwich of Time (PC)

Stickmen Studios | Oct 15, 2010 Doc Clock is an interesting Platform based Puzzle game.  Ok, it’s way more platform game than puzzle game.  All of the puzzle part involves assembling various parts you find along the way into different vehicles. The basic plot involves Doc Clock and his robot backpack companion.  You start out in Doc Clock’s lab and after accidentally turning your cat into a plant, you set out to build a time machine so you can travel back in time 5 minutes to save your cat.  By mistake, you travel many many years into the future and…

Review – Trine (PC)

Frozenbyte | July 2, 2009 Trine is a game that takes several separate concepts and pushes them together into one game.  You have the core platform action game, where you jump around and battle monsters.  There’s some puzzle aspects where you need to open gates and trigger buttons.  There’s a bit of RPG element involved with the party of characters, story and level system.  Finally it’s all distilled and simplified to the point where it’s fairly simple to play making it just a little but of a casual game.  Often titles with such a complex mashup end up being an…
