Review – Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)

Konami – Playstation – 1 Player Castlevania games are hard. Or at least they used to be. They tend to be kind of random, long and have clunky controls. At least on the NES. I have never really cared much for Castlevania games. The whole “goth” and “vampires” thing never really appealed to me either. Still, Symphony of the Night I one of those games you hear people talk about a lot. When people start saying a game is one of the best they have ever played, it generally is worth giving a little attention to. I had first purchased…

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…

Pokemon Go Go-tcha Band

So, I should preface a bit by saying, I am a very casual level player of Pokemon Go.  I mean maybe I am overestimating the level of most players, but I often see people talking about burning through hundreds of Pokemon and eggs and stardust to maximize this or that.  There are gyms an raids that I barely ever participate in.  My interest in Pokemon Go extends mostly to "It's Pokemon" because it's not really Pokemon.  It's more, incentivized walking.  Which is also why I care about Pokemon Go, at all.  Primarily I "play" at lunch, I eat, I go…

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…
