Review – Faerie Solitaire (PC)

Subsoap | 03.15.2009 Solitaire is a game that has like 500 zillion variations.  In fact, Solitaire is more of a genre of card game played alone than a type of game itself.  Faerie Solitaire, as far as I know, isn’t based on a previous “classic” style of Solitaire, but then, the reference material surrounding this game isn’t real plentiful.  It certainly isn’t the standard 7 piles, flip 3, collect Ace through King solitaire. The basic card game works as follows, cards are laid out on the playing field in various patterns and the player gets a small stack to flip…

Review – Time Lord (NES)

Time lord | NES | Milton Bradley | 1989 This game, for me, was a bunch of disappointments, right from the start.  Every year, like any good greedy kid, I would provide my parents with a list of things I wanted for Christmas.  A friend of mine had this pretty neat overhead RPG titled Times of Lore.  I loved to play Times of Lore and really wanted my own copy to play at my leisure, so of course, I put it on my Christmas list. I later realize that the best explanation is that my parents misread what I had…

Review – Frequency (PS2)

FrequencyPS2 - 1-2 PlayersGameplay – 7/10 Graphics – 7/10 Sound – 9/10 Replay – 6/10 Overall – 7.3/10 Frequency is generally a hard game to describe. There isn't really anything that is much like it. The closest thing I can think of is "DDR without the down arrow", but, there is so much more on inaddition to that so the description doesn't really fit very well. For one, the tracks are a lot longer. Then there's a little ship thing that you'll actually have to control your on top of following thepattern...Well, maybe I should start out simple and then…

Review – BIT.TRIP BEAT (PC)

Gaijin Games |  Nov 2nd, 2010 What do you get when you take the simplicity of Pong, a game that involves hitting small square “balls” with a rectangular paddle, and add in some musical aspects, a bit of plot, and ramp up the play mechanics beyond a 2 player game of tennis?  Whatever it would be, it’s probably pretty close to BIT.TRIP BEAT. Ok, really the only thing they really share in common is hitting balls with paddles and retro styling. The general premise here is that you must deflect a series of rhythmic balls back with your paddle.  They…
