Memory Lane - Part 1

Hello again my dearest readers!

This is the first part in a new ongoing series I'm going to do about my formative gaming experiences. Welcome to Memory Lane. In this article I cover my earliest gaming memories up to the first major milestone, the game Doom.

Let's have at it!

Fever Dreams in Deepest Space, a Review of Alien: Isolation

Hello again Dear Readers,

This time around I'm going to talk about a really great game that came out recently. That game is Alien: Isolation by The Creative Assembly. It's set up as a sequel of sorts to the first Alien movie that was directed by Ridley Scott back in 1979.

I just finished the main campaign the other day and I loved the game to pieces despite a few flaws. This is a game made by fans of the original movie for fans of the original movie. As fan service for Alien fans it succeeds with flying colors. As a horror game it is merely very good. And as a video game in general it has some nits to pick at.

It's kind of a cross between System Shock 2 and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, with a bit of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay sprinkled in for good measure.

Here's the skinny:

BioShock: Infinite or, Infinite Worlds, Zero Choice

What's happening True Doomers!

This week I'm going to talk about another one of those BioShock games, this time BioShock: Infinite. What's the final word, you ask?

Well, let me put it this way. For a supposed "thinking man's shooter" this game is actually quite offensive to thinking people everywhere.

Let me tell you why.

Ten Week Anniversary!

Hey Murder Junkies and Junkettes!

This is the tenth post to this blog and as such represents ten straight weeks of commentary and criticism of all the digital shooting and looting, slicing and dicing, and general murder and mayhem we all enjoy from time to time.

So let me just take a moment to pat myself on the back for managing to take my creative impulses and tether them to a steady schedule for so long.

*pat*

Felt great, thanks for asking! Let's talk about some games!
