Review – Eufloria (PC)

Most real time strategy games involve military conflict of some sort.  It’s part of the genre really, one military force against another, at war, requiring the player to take strategic command.  Eufloria does an interesting job of almost breaking this mold.  Technically it’s still centering around a conflict, though instead of tanks and soldiers you fight with plant seeds.  The conflict is certainly more peaceful when it involves plants.  The light graphics and airy music and sound effects make this a fairly relaxing and serine experience to play.  The object is to control a region of planetoids before the opponent…

Review – Bionic Commando (NES)

NES – 1 Player – Capcom If you ever hear someone complain about the “difficulty” of modern games, tell them to go play almost any NES classic.  Not only will they find many extremely difficult games, but they will be difficult games by design, not because the computer uses cheap AI to “always win”. Bionic Commando is one such game.  Honestly, this, and any game in the Ninja Gaiden series, are some of the toughest NES games out there.  Possibly one of the toughest games ever.  The one major pitfall of this game is its lack of password or save…

Review – Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (NDS)

Nintendo DS – 1 Player – Level-5 I could have sworn I had already done reviews for at least Professor Layton and the Curious Village but it looks like I am mistaken.  Either that or I’ve finally lost a chunk of posts with my constant shifting from one blogging platform to another.  Since this is essentially a fresh intro to the series I’ll just touch a bit more on the details instead of straight referencing old content.  I guess it’s better style anyway. At the core, the Layton games are nothing more than puzzle games.  More accurately, they are essentially…

Review – Final Fantasy X (PS2, PS3, PS4, PC)

PS2 – 1 Player Don’t ask me why it says “X” instead of “10” up there. I guess its just to keep with the idea that all FF games can be abreviated with three letters. Maybe people are just too lazy to put the 0 on the end. Actually it’s probably because everyone knows any name with an “X” on the end is automatically cool. Think about it, we have Malcom X, Jason X, Samurai X, Xyxex, the list goes on. This is one game though that is slick even without the tag-on “Cool X”. Before we get started with…
