D4: DARK DREAMS DON’T DIE REVIEW

I’m glad Access Games builds off of the Telltale adventure game model. I find it is more intuitive than old school point-and-click collectathons. D4 offers enough unique content and design that I would avoid writing it off, but it is clearly building off existing works. I have a confession to make, Dark Dreams Don’t Die and Crimson Dragon were the first games to get me interested in owning an Xbox...[Read More]

GAUNTLET REVIEW

Back in 1985, a certain arcade machine entered the early gaming fray. It was a fantasy COOP slasher that punished its players for playing, as those arcade games often did. However, it had great gameplay, pretty visuals and hooked you up faster than cocaine. Its name was – Gauntlet. 29 years later (ignoring the Gauntlet 2), a PC follow-up is finally released. The Gauntlet we have today has little i...[Read More]

Starforge Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Starforge Review    Starforge. I finally forced myself into getting the bugger to work long enough to get some real impressions about the game. My initial plans were to write a preview some time back and cover the final stages of its development with news articles and such, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. First of all, I’ve got two gaming-ready computers and a brand new beefy laptop a...[Read More]

Influent Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD

Influent Review    One of the more important aspects of our society are the languages we speak in. Nowadays, communication is everything, and it’s only natural that people try and learn as many tongues as they can. Sadly, the process isn’t quite as simple as we’d like it to be, and alternatives to ordinary studying are sought out quite often. It was only a matter of time before some...[Read More]
