Rage 2  |
Rating of: 4/5
|
Power Through
|
|
“RAGE 2” is the sequel that no one asked for and no one expected. Way back in 2011, a year before my official return from complete PC gaming apostasy, id Software – the brain trust behind the very (dismal) origins of the FPS genre with series like ‘DOOM,’ ‘Quake,’ and ‘Heretic/Hexen’ – released a new IP for the first time in over a decade: “RAGE.” The game was met with mix... |

Older, Wiser, Bigger, Better
|
|
When the first God of War was released on Playstation 2 in 2005, it was a huge hit for Sony as well as being a great action game. The sequels that came followed the same patter or action/adventure linear path that had Kratos swing his now-iconic chain blades as he took on the Greek gods themselves. I admits, I never moved beyond the sequel, as I felt the game never offered much beyond a simple ac... |

Fast and Furious Demon Slaying
|
|
Doom has been at the forefront of the FPS genre since its early inception, and was rebooted once in Doom 3 back in 2007, and now this new version - with a sequel already on the way. Not much has changed as Doom remains a pinnacle of FPS insanity - buoyed by the fast-paced, frantic gameplay and pulse-pounding soundtrack. Yet for all the updates and additions, Doom remains pretty much the same - bo... |

Tiny Windows…
|
|
“EnHanced,” which I believe is pronounced “En-Aitch-Ants-Ed,” is one of those out-of-nowhere pet-project type of Indie games that can be found commonly on websites like GameJolt, Itch.io, and NewGrounds, but which don’t all-that-often find their way to Steam or the other big digital markets. With Desura dead-and-buried, it is only through the grace of Lord GabeN and his destruction of a... |

'Zelda' with a Blue Dress On
|
|
Back in 2017 when it was initially released on Steam, I was very excited about “Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King” (“Blossom Tales”), as the early promotional footage I’d seen made the game look very much like an Indie homage to “The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past,” which is still the best ‘Zelda’ game and one of the best pure Action/Adventure games, despite being more than ... |

Armadaone Bites the Dust - But is Mostly Enjoyable
|
|
When we get desperate for local co-op, we get desperate for local co-op and dusting off a gem from 1999 might be the biggest stretch the MeltedJoystick crew has made yet. Heck, we had to fix the damn Sega Dreamcast (via some YouTube videos) before we could launch the game. But fix it we did and Armada was reborn anew. Despite being older than Millie Bobby Brown, Jacob Tremblay and Isabela Moner -... |

"Demoliton Racer"
|
|
Infogrames jump on the Destruction Derby bandwagon with some pretty decent results. It's fast, the action is constant and the scoring system - which counts both impacts and spins - uses a system that combines crash scores with a race position multiplier making each equally important and so is much fairer and more consistent than that of the Psygnosis games. It's not as good as DD2 thanks to infer... |

"TOCA World Touring Cars"
|
|
AKA TOCA World Touring Cars, the third TOCA game in the series has a more forgiving difficulty level which makes it more accessible but less exciting to play. The physics are also slightly off, the cars not having quite enough weight and heft to them, but the constant overtaking and body contact make it more fun to play than the average PS1 racing sim. |

Satisfy Your Old-School RPG Thirst
|
|
Cthulhu Saves the World is an old-school throw-back turned-based parody RPG done right.
Cthulhu loses his devastating powers and must become a true hero to get them back. Cthulhu sets out on an adventure to figure out how to get them back. He'll team up with several great characters, including a living sword, cat, and a dragon. Will he destroy the world when he regains his power?
