Review – Forza Horizon 4 (PC, Xbox One)

Microsoft - 2018 The Good Stunning VisualsGameplay has a ton of variety and courses and carsThe car Livery system is pretty great The Bad The PC version is a pretty mediocre port of the console versionThere are a lot of bugs.The Online Scene isn't great Racing is a genre of games that I don't really obsess over but I often come back to. It's quite possibly my secret favorite genre. I bought an N64 so I could play Cruisin USA, I played a ton of Gran Turismo 2 on my Playstation, I played a bunch of Need for Speed games.…

Review – The Binding of Isaac (PC)

So, the makers of Super Meat Boy, Team Meat, apparently have an old school Nintendo Fetish of the worst kind.  First you have Super Meat Boy, which has vague connotations of Super Mario Brothers.  Though the reality is the name is all it really has in common with Super Mario Brothers, that and being a side scrolling platform game.  The Binding of Isaac is sort of like this, only with The Legend of Zelda.  It sort of has the same cadence and style in name and shares a lot of game play style. The reality is, other than the basic…

Review – Vigil: Blood Bitterness (PC)

Freegamer | Meridian 4 | June 29th, 2007 So these days I try to make it a policy to complete a game before doing any sort of review.  The thought is, I should experience all of it before passing judgment on it.  Sometimes in order to complete this task I do resort to walkthroughs or even in game cheat codes.  This tends to factor into the review however.  If a game is too confusing to get through without a walkthrough or too difficult to finish properly without cheating then there is clearly a problem with it.  I’ve had enough experience…

I’m not real sure what to call this game.  VeeVeeVeeVeeVeeVee just doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.  Given the gravity based gimmick I’d say it’s more likely the name is Up Down Up Down.  Or it’s more likely a graphical representation of the game’s gimmick in a symbol form, sort of like Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.  The name may also be symbolic of the numerous instant death spikes floating around the game.  It’s multifaceted and deep…. or whatever…. Speaking of the game’s gimmick, the main thing is the quirky control method.  You only move…

Review – Limbo (PC)

I’ve been a bit lax on posts the last few days, with good reason.  I’ve been plowing through Limbo in order to do a proper review of it.  Here’s the short, this game is phenomenal.  It’s so simple in it’s design and gameplay and just all around but I have not been so engaged by a game the way Limbo did for a while.  I’ve been devoting my free time to playing through it instead of doing productive things like blogging. So the plot presented here is very simple, you must travel through the surreal land of Limbo to find…
