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…

Review – Dance Dance Revolution (PC)

Dance Dance Revolution PC (Konami) 2 Players Here’s a little artifact that is probably fairly obscure. There was an official DDR game released for PC a while back. Except it was an exclusive product for a chain of stores not in my area (Fry’s) and to an online store I never shop at (outpost.com). And at only $10 it’s certainly cheaper than the Playstation alternatives. On the other hand it has to compete with free programs such as Stepmania. So how well does this game step up to the challenge? Not very well I’m afraid. I guess I’ll get the…

Review – Back to the Future (NES)

Ok, let’s cut to the chase, this game sucks. I have long pushed this game as the worst game I have ever played, though I’m not so sure about that anymore.  Back to the Future is was a pretty bad ass awesome film, even back when it was new when this game came out.  You’d think that some of that would translate to the game on SOME level but it didn’t.  It’s essentially a bastardized version of Skate Or Die that has almost zero to do with Back to the Future. So admittedly, the expectations of what makes a video…
