I don't mean still as in “Oh, it's not popular but I still like it.” I mean that as I'm writing this I'm playing the game. I just checked and I've got over 100 hours on this game and I'm not sick of it.
I get to be an Apple!
The game starts with your grandfather on his deathbed. No, it's not secretly a horror game, it's just your grandpa passing and leaving his farm to you.
From a game that gives the maddening feeling of Lovecraft to a game that looks like it was pulled from the pages of a Lovecraft story.
I just realized how many games I've played recently with a zombie/horror/death theme to them. Nothing more to say, I just noticed.
This week it's Lakeview Cabin
Ugh, where to begin.
Look, I haven't liked much of Sonic after Adventure on the Dreamcast, and if you ask me it's for good reason.(Mania is the real exception to that.) I did like the 3D Green Hill Zone in Sonic Adventure 2 and …
I'm already getting into a different game.
So, Shadow …
My nostalgia is really active lately. And, full disclosure, I was terrible at this game as a kid, and more than twenty years later, I'm no better.
Okay, so for anyone who thinks that Episodic games are a new thing. Nope, they've been around a long time. The difference here being that the whole game was too large for removable media at the time.
So you get a blurb of story while a midi of The Halls of Montezuma plays.
There's actually three games, but they're practically all the same so just putting it as one.
Diablo, another Blizzard original. Unlike their two “Craft” series Diablo is a top down dungeon crawler game. And it has a fairly simple control setup. It's doesn't take up much room, and is definitely important to the series as a whole. Though getting it to run on a modern system does require a DosBox.
A game with no threats.
It's fascinating how a game with no real threat throughout the game can still be so gripping. The game is a point and click puzzle game and let's you freely explore and solve the puzzles. There's no set order to solve the puzzles, no railroading to speak of. You can freely roam and do whatever.
So much, in fact, that I own as many different versions of the game that I can.
I guess it's kind of easy to just go to my favorite video game, but it's my favorite, how can I not talk about it.
I actually played a couple other games from my youth, but I got to play Dark Souls with a friend of mine, and this is what I felt like writing about.
Things have been rough and I needed to relax a bit. Goat Simulator is a game with no plot, goal, purpose. You load up the game, make a few minor selections, get playing and destroying.
I'm on a kick of replaying games from when I was younger.
This was a fun one. More for the aesthetic and constant jokes/references than the game play. It's actually a pretty standard top down shooter. You are a flying beer bottle that can move easily along the x and y axis to dodge attacks and enemies, or to more easily attack.
This makes me so happy! I haven't played this game since I was a child! (Special thanks to Background Human from Derpibooru for telling me how to slow it down on Dosbox. It ran so fast otherwise it was unplayable.)
One of the most recognizable and popular games at the moment.
... So why am I doing this? What is there for me to review on a game that pretty much everyone knows? Well, one of the nice things about this game is that you can make your own goals and challenges. The end isn't the end.
This is the last SMS game for now.
Let me start with a bit of the movie. This movie was bottled lightning, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It's a great comedy that plays things straight. The characters seem odd until you get to know them, but once you understand them they seem kind of realistic. Like someone you may have met before.
Castle Crashers takes the rescue the princess trope, putts it in a side scrolling beat 'em up, and runs with it.
As for the story, an evil ruler kidnaps several princesses and it's up to you to rescue them. Fighting your way through hordes of minions, bosses, and running from a giant cat.
From the first right onto the second.
This takes place shortly after the end of the first Diablo game. Tristram has been destroyed, evil continues to walk the land, and once again hero's must arise to solve the problem.
The game where just playing is the challenge.
As far as story goes, it's kind of slice of life. You play the titular Octodad, although the games tutorial starts before that. You learn to navigate the controls during his wedding, getting dressed, breaking walls, and maintaining the outward illusion that you are a human.
