Titan Quest ( Titan Quest Anniversary Edition )  |
Rating of: 2/5
|
Sisyphean
|
|
I love ancient Greco-Roman mythology, as should be obvious from the fact that I have multiple college degrees dedicated to analyzing the stories, cultural traditions, and religious nonsense contained therein (a skillset which also comes in handy for analyzing videogames). I initially bought “Titan Quest” (“TQ”) and the “Immortal Throne” expansion pack a couple years ago, based solely upon popular... |

| Titan Quest ( Titan Quest Anniversary Edition ) |
Rating of: 3.5/5

An Obvious Diablo Clone
|
|
Titan Quest Anniversary Edition is a Diablo clone RPG taking place within Greek mythology. The Anniversary Edition was released in 2016 with an attempt at multiplayer performance improvements, game balancing, and bug fixes.
Presentation:
This game is an overall acceptable attempt at point and click hack 'n slash RPG. The game is laid out as one would expect, and it's easy to dive in and sta... |

| Pop'n TwinBee |
Rating of: 4/5

Ding-a-Ling

|
“Pop’n TwinBee” (“PnT”) is the 6th in a long line of cute, cartoony SHMUPs, developed by Konami as an alternative for those who weren’t taken in by their more well-known SHMUP series, ‘Gradius.’ Interestingly, ‘TwinBee’ proved to be insanely popular in the Japanese homeland, but only ever received one North American release: The second game in the franchise, “Moero TwinBee,” was localized as “Sti... |

| Mother 3 ( EarthBound 2 ) |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
The Weirdest, Dumbest, Best RPG of the Decade
|
|
I have a long, odd history with the ‘EarthBound’ franchise. When Nintendo began their heavy-handed marketing campaign for the SNES title in the series, “EarthBound” (a.k.a., “Mother 2”), I was at an age where I firmly believed that Fantasy elements were mandatory in RPGs, and I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to suffer through any game that took place in the *horrified gasp* modern era ... |

| Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars |
Rating of: 4.5/5

A RPG That Doesn't Take Itself Too Seriously
|
|
Super Mario RPG is a turn based role playing game that has a charming story and contains elements from Mario's normal platforming roots which make it a great game that doesn't take itself too seriously.
When I finally got around to playing this game, more than 20 years had passed since it's release. While some elements of the game have definitely shown it's age, that doesn't mean this game is... |

| Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series |
Rating of: 4/5
|
Iron From Ice
|
|
Telltale has made a name out of crafting stylized adventure games, starting with The Walking Dead but soon branching out to include Game of Thrones, Borderlands, Batman, Minecraft and Guardians of the Galaxy. They have also made a name for themselves by crafting stories that actually have an impact - gruesome and unexpected deaths, hard choices and far-reaching consequences. Game of Thrones is th... |

A Major Step Forward For The Series
|
|
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild revolutions the series with it's huge world and provides a wonderful experience making it truly a masterpiece.
Throughout the years, The Legend of Zelda series has gone in several different directions but always provided a great experience and story to play through. For me, ever since the original on the NES I've wanted a 3D game that let's go wherever ... |

| Blaster Master Zero |
Rating of: 4/5
|
A Solid Re-Imagining Of The NES Version
|
|
Blaster Master Zero will remind you of the NES days and there's enough of a difference from the original to give you an enjoyable, all be it perhaps not a better, experience.
Inti Creates acquired the Blaster Master license from Sunsoft and basically recreated the original NES Blaster Master in their own image for 3DS and Switch. If you're a fan of the Blaster Master series and know the origi... |

Rating of: 3/5

The Premise is a Bit Thin, Man
|
|
A short history of Slender Man: back in 2009 Eric Knudsen (aka Victor Surge) submitted two photographs for Something Awful's photoshop contest to turn an everyday photo into something paranormal. Adding a tall, black-suited spectral figure, along with some accompanying text. Essentially turned Slender Man into a Creepypasta superstar. Soon, the internets became flooded with short stories, picture... |

About as Fun as Becoming an Actual Zombie
|
|
I played this simply for the fact it had zombies and was something different than what we normally play. Too bad it is only two-player multiplayer and also too bad the entertainment value wears out very quickly. It's a pretty basic game all around, provides minimal fun and wears out its welcome quickly. Not even zombies can make this one better.
Presentation: Boring, generic, crappy - take you... |
