Solo Play – Escape from the Space Station

I picked this solo game up on a lark because it was on clearance at a Kohl's and the clearance was 75% off or something, so it cost me a couple of dollars.  I really didn't know what to expect from it but it sounded interesting with it's enticement of puzzles to solve, and my slowly growing interest in playing more Solo Games.  Then I sat on it for a few years not actually playing it. The box contains: One Scenario "read first" note 3 trifold papers with information about the station 2 cards of punch out tile pieces 10…

Review – Poker Night at the Inventory (PC)

Telltale Games | Nov 22, 2010 So Telltale games, makers of something like 90% of the Adventure games on the market (maybe) had an interesting idea. Why not take the idea of computer poker, and instead of playing against made up kooky PC characters you don’t recognizes, why not throw in a cast of known characters from popular games and nerd sites. Thus, you end up with Poker Night at the Inventory. You play poker against Tycho from Penny-Arcade, The Heavy, of Team Fortress 2 Fame, Telltale’s defacto mascot, Max, from the Sam & max series, and Strong Bad from the…
