Observer is the latest game from Bloober Team, creators of the excellent horror game Layers of Fear. Layers of Fear would probably be best described as an extended tour through a heavily scripted, but very well-produced haunted house. It had amazing atmosphere, but very little interactivity, and was a very short experience. Still, it was a very enjoyable experience and…

Black – The Fall makes me realize that we really need to come up with a catchy new term to describe these games that follow in the footsteps of classic side-scrolling action-adventure-platformers like Out of This World (aka Another World) or Oddworld. Although if I had to compare it to any other single similar game,…

The Solus Project is probably best described as a survival/exploration/adventure game. You’re the last survivor of a crashed ship that was looking for a new habitable planet for humankind to relocate to, and you need to find a way to survive. Not only that, you need to communicate with your people so that you can get…

Jettomero: Hero of the Universe is a game where I’m not quite sure who the audience is supposed to be. Its low-detail, cartoonish look certainly evokes the assumption that this is a game for children, which is not necessarily a bad thing. There are plenty of childish, family friendly games out there that are still fun for grizzled…

Return to Zork was a sequel to the semi-popular series of text adventures in the 80’s, simply titled Zork. It was the first game in the series to actually have visual graphics, and was one of the earliest FMV games, sort of. The original floppy disk version (which came on a whopping 12 disks) actually only had animated GIFs of live…
-
Not to be confused with other “Fall” games, like Black: The Fall, or apparently another completely unrelated game also called The Fall, this particular The Fall is more of a point and click adventure…sort of. The Fall is the fascinating story of a mysterious person future soldier who has crash landed on a mysterious planet. Mystery person seems to be injured…

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is finally here and if the internet is to be believed, it’s the latest Mass Effect: Andromeda-type controversy, because OMG TWO CHARACTER’S FACES LOOK WEIRD IN CUTSCENES! I admit, there really are precisely two characters who have weird faces in otherwise incredible looking cutscenes. I was so distraught when I gazed upon these two…

Symphony of the Night is not just hands-down the greatest Castlevania game of all time, but I also consider it one of the top 5 greatest video games of all time. It is not just the original Metroidvania, but it’s the pinnacle of subgenre. Great looking backgrounds and enemies, incredible level design, a large array of…

Wowwwww, where did this game come from? I had heard nice things about it, but it didn’t look or sound particularly amazing. It really just looks like Journey, but underwater, and while Journey also surprised me with it’s endearing simplicity, it’s got nothing on the sheer beauty of the world of Abzu. I grabbed this when it…

I have a confession to make. I’ve never played Night Trap before! It sure seems like something I’d have played, doesn’t it? I’ve always wanted to try it, but I never had a Sega CD and I just never got around to playing the later ports. On the plus side, this means I went into this…
