And the Trilogy Becomes a Quartet
|
|
In the 1980s, developer ICOM Simulations released a series of point-and-click Adventure games on Macintosh. PC gamers of the time were staunchly entrenched in DOS, so these games received relatively little fanfare… that is until the Japanese companies Kemco and Seika got their hands on these titles and ported them to the original NES. While the Mac originals had no background music and horrible M... |

Rating of: 3/5

The Last Server
|
|
“Battleborn” is a space-filler title developed by Gearbox and published by 2K, both companies better known for their hand in the insanely popular Loot & Shoot ‘Borderlands’ franchise. It seems that everyone wants to get in on the PvP e-sports scene in recent years, and the temptation was just too much for Gearbox/2K, who put a guaranteed moneymaker (i.e., “Borderlands 3”) on the back burner to in... |

It's Hella Stellar
|
|
Adventure games have been given a second life of late, thanks, in part to the great reception of Telltale Games started with The Walking Dead in 2012. Dontnod, based in France, got off to a rough start with Remember Me, a PS3 exclusive (later ported to Steam) that was released to mediocre reviews and likewise sales. After this nearly bankrupt the studio, they decided to a judicial reorganization,... |

A 22-Year Case of Blueballs
|
|
My long, rambling history with “Dungeon Master II: The Legend of Skullkeep” (“DM2”) began 22 years ago when I bought the game at launch from Babbages. I loved the original “Dungeon Master,” of which I played the SNES port, and I loved the ‘Eye of the Beholder’ trilogy, of which I played the SNES port of the first game, then replayed it and its sequels on PC after taking my old IBM to the Computer... |

Rating of: 2.5/5

Bite-Sized Horror Leaves Me Hungry for More
|
|
After the success of games like Amnesia and Outlast (and the PT demo), everyone jumped on the horror bandwagon. Kraven Manor is essentially a college project that turned in to a full-fledged game. Much like Slenderman turning into Slender: The Arrival, this is a work in progress that was a popular Beta that was eventually released on Steam. Taking that in to account, Kraven Manor isn't a bad game... |

Rating of: 4/5

Embracing the Pain
|
|
Even though I play a lot of AAA games (sometimes paying too much for them - though I've weened myself off that particular habit), I also do my best to seek out smaller games that are a bit different. Since I'm also a fan of the horror genre, Masochisia peaked my interest. As such, this is the only game, thus far, released by Jon Oldblood, a developer out of Texas who created the game on his own, ... |

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... |

| 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... |

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... |
