dragon age: origins (xbox360)

i started playing dragon age origins about a week or so ago. as with most bioware games i start off slow getting in the game/lore but when i eventually do i get hooked. i decided to play as a mage since that is pretty much the exact opposite of what i normally do. usually i […]

gabriel knight 1 (pc)

i had this game in 1993 and played it all the way through then (w/ the help of a hint book). i recently replayed the game by doing everything i could think of each day and then using a walkthru to see if i missed anything. i wish i had not done this because it […]

majesty 1 (pc)

i’ve always liked majesty. i played it a lot when it originally came out in 2000. i recall finishing the game back then with the use of cheats. i remember having trouble on 4 or so levels. i’m playing it again now since the HD version was recently released on GOG. i wish there were […]

super mario 3d world (wii u)

i’ve been playing this game for about a week and a half, here and there for about 2 hours, and today i finished it. i enjoyed it quite a bit more than the recent new super mario bros games. i know those games are really geared more for multiplayer and not-so-much a quality single player […]

the room series (android)

i saw the first “the room” game listed on the top paid apps section of google play. i had never heard of it, but it was highly rated, interesting looking, and also cheap, so i purchased it. the game is very reminiscent of myst, but with an hp lovecraft vibe going on. it’s probably the […]

halo: reach (xbox360)

i finished halo: reach this past weekend. overall it took a week of off-and-on playing to complete it. i played a couple of missions on the weekend and then a single mission on weekdays if i felt up to it. reach is pretty good. another solid release in the halo franchise. i felt that the […]

portal1 – orange box (xbox360)

i started playing portal1 yesterday for the first time and i believe i got through the first 16 levels within 1 hour and 40 minutes or so. i only mention that to point out that the bulk of the levels can be finished in a relatively short time. i wouldn’t describe levels 1-16 as easy, […]

gone home (pc)

i saw so much stuff about this game online, rave reviews, and so on. i was intrigued by the concept from watching a few videos. so i picked up the game on sale and played it without really knowing what the game was about. this will include **spoilers** of course…but mostly i’d like to provide […]

ogre battle (snes)

i first rented this game in probably around 1993 and i was so infatuated with it that i wanted to own a copy. i eventually did get a copy and played it until i deemed it became too difficult and gave up. based on the maps i remember playing through i’d say i never played […]

quest for glory 1 (pc)

i absolutely love this game. i first played it many many years ago and i’ve only played the VGA version. it’s an excellent blend of sierra adventure with RPG elements added in. for the most part it plays like a typical sierra adventure game, however, the character you control has stats which increase over time. […]
