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…

Review – Transformers the Game (PC)

I’ve been a bit behind here on my Transformers themed gaming here.  I have yet to really get into any of the latest 3D incarnations of Transformers video games until recently.  i figure the best thing to do would be to start at the beginning.  Unfortunately, Transformers (Armada) isn’t available on the PC so I’m going for the game based on the first movie game.  Keep in mind also, while I played the PC version, I’m pretty sure it’s essentially the same as the console versions for PS2, Xbox360, and PS3.  It’s probably marginally different than the DS version however.…

Review – The Inlaws (PC)

Released: 01.21.2010 |  Golem Labs I’m labeling this, Episode 1 because when this game was made, there was an idea for an Episode 2.  There doesn’t seem to have ever been an Episode 2 produced however.  Kind of a shame since this game isn’t completely terrible and it’s relatively short.  It’s not a spectacular game either though and has a few game breaking bugs in it so it may be a goo thing there isn’t an Episode 2. This game takes the idea of Episodic gaming and combines it with the idea of Episodic Television, specifically, episodic cartoon television.  Not…
