Borderlands  |
Rating of: 3.5/5

17 Million Useless Guns
|
|
“Borderlands,” indeed ANY FPS, is not a game that I typically give a second glance, thanks to the fact that most of them are so similar that even their screen shots tend to blur together into a nightmare of brown and gray environments populated by huge, burly dude-men shooting each other. Having already played the non-DLC-enhanced PlayStation 3 version of the game, fellow MeltedJoystick staffer C... |

I'm Gonna Pop Some Skags...
|
|
Although I have previously experienced this (mostly single-player) on PS3 - I re-visited this on Steam and it gave me a chance to re-examine things from a different perspective, as well as play the full DLC and play online with other people as well. It exposed both the best and worst the game had to offer and I still thing the overall experience is excellent - though it's not perfect by far. When... |

Cthulhu Saves the Turn-Based RPG Genre
|
|
For all the ultra-violent, hyper-realistic, overindulgence of Moe games out there, sometimes you just want to go old school. And, thanks to the fine folks at Zeboyd Games, you can relive that first RPG experience and throw in an excellent dose of humor and general craziness to go with it. Although I have yet to experience the original Breath of Death VII, I am more than looking forward to it (eve... |

| LIMBO |
Rating of: 2.5/5

Purgatory in 3 Hours
|
|
“LIMBO” is an Indie 2D platformer created by Danish developer PLAYDEAD. Initially, “LIMBO” was released as an Xbox Live Arcade exclusive, before receiving ports to the PlayStation Network and Steam a year later. Despite its resemblance to the Wii-exclusive “Lost in Shadow,” “LIMBO” is an entirely original game. To be honest, I had little interest in “LIMBO” and the only reason I decided to give i... |

Zelda = Killed
|
|
Back in the 8-bit and 16-bit days, the ongoing console wars between the dominant Nintendo and the also-ran Sega saw a great amount of copying. Whenever Nintendo introduced a new type of game on the NES, Sega, or one of the third-parties that was active at the time, would attempt to copy it and create an even better ‘Game Killer’ that would knock Nintendo’s creation off its pedestal. Nintendo made... |

A Bit on the Medium Side
|
|
I was gifted this awhile ago, but admit I haven't sat down to play more than a few levels, but, as my backlog ever expands, I have to knockout some of these shorter games and Burgertime World seemed like a safe choice. The original game, while being really tough, was always a favorite of mine and this updated version is like the original game on steroids while throwing you a few bones so it's not... |

Rating of: 4/5

Much More Depth Than You'd Expect
|
|
Donkey Kong for the original Game Boy has a surprising amount of depth for a handheld game. In this seriously upgraded version compared to the NES and arcade version, Mario has increased abilities, there's more of a puzzle element to it, and there's many more levels to get through.
It's a familiar sight, Donkey Kong has taken the princess hostage and you must climb though levels to get to her... |

Leaves You Wanting More
|
|
Castlevania: Bloodlines is what you'd expect from an early generation console Castlevania game, but it has limited levels and will leave you wanting more.
This Castlevania game takes a bit of a different route when it comes to level design. While the levels will have a familiar feel to them, they don't all take place in the same castle. You travel around Europe to various countries taking ou... |

| Waialae Country Club |
Rating of: 2/5
|
Limited in Several Ways
|
|
Waialae Country Club for the Nintendo 64 has a hard to pronounce name, but that's minor compared to the rest of the flaws this game has.
Waialae has a huge problem right off the start. It only has one course. It's a Hawaiian course that has 18 holes. Cartridge limits aside, almost any other golf game you find out there has at least 3 or more courses, even ones for the N64, so this becomes u... |

Legendary: skip it or get it for less than 5 bucks
|
|
Legendary sounded good, it looked good but man, it certainly didn't play good. The graphics are decent, the setting and monsters concept; stunning. The story sounded even half way decent. With pros like that how could the cons bring the game's rating so low? For one the game's difficulty is stupid high, which also isn't terrible thing unless it's because of glitches or hitbox issues. The game i... |
