I will be honest with you and say that I fully intended to give A Golden Wake a negative review. I'll explain why once I get the basic description of the game out of the way. A Golden Wake was created by WadjetGames, makers of the Blackwell Legacy game that I have reviewed in the past. A Golden Wake uses the same type of gameplay with a point-and-click style role playing … [Read more...] about A Golden Wake from WadjetEye Games

Lovely Planet from tinyBuild Games
Hooray! I got to review another game on Steam, and this one is as fun as Fearless Fantasy. The Lovely Planet is an interesting First-Person Shooter (FPS) game that is very simple in its graphics, but it isn't the graphics that makes this game, it's the action. I'm not really certain what is the backstory behind Lovely Planet, but playing the game involves roaming this … [Read more...] about Lovely Planet from tinyBuild Games
Fearless Fantasy by tinyBuild Games
Yes, this is another Steam game that I am reviewing, and I am glad that I took the time for it. Fearless Fantasy is a turn-based RPG game that is really interesting. The game starts with some kind of monochromatic animation that has an anime style. Leon the most dangerous bounty hunter teams up with a princess who is betrothed to an evil king. Together, they wander … [Read more...] about Fearless Fantasy by tinyBuild Games
Falling Skies, the Game, from Little Orbit
I have to admit that I have only have seen one episode of Falling Skies. I think it is a TNT show about some post-apocalyptic world that has been overrun by aliens. I've heard that Steven Spielberg produces it, and I can't help but compare it to The Walking Dead. After all, it is about the remaining humans after a catastrophe. I have to admit that I wasn't overly … [Read more...] about Falling Skies, the Game, from Little Orbit
Why would you make a Tetris movie?
Please note how I worded the headline. Now, why would I say "Why would you make a Tetris movie" if someone were not planning on making a Tetris movie? The answer is: because Threshold Entertainment is actually planning an adaptation. This is the same studio that bought us two Mortal Kombat movies, and sadly, the only good thing that gave us was that awesome song. … [Read more...] about Why would you make a Tetris movie?
Doubledutch and Tiny Build Games present Speedrunners
And now, for another game that I have been playing on Steam, and this one is Speedrunners, a fast-paced game with a very interesting premise. Some games involves superheroes, and some games are platformers, and some games are really, really fast. Speedrunners is all three of those. Speedrunners is about a race between four superheroes. Why are these superheroes racing? … [Read more...] about Doubledutch and Tiny Build Games present Speedrunners
This War of Mine by 11-bit Studios
A few days ago, I mentioned that everyone should probably play Neverending Nightmares because it does show realistic mental anguish in the midst of a creepy setting. This is the same for This War of Mine by 11-bit Studios. Why? Because even though it is a war game, it does not glorify war at all. I'm not really certain what the war is in This War of Mine, but this isn't … [Read more...] about This War of Mine by 11-bit Studios
Defense Grid 2 from Hidden Path Entertainment
I believe that I spoke too soon when I reviewed Cannon Brawl, as I referred to it as a "towers of defense" game. In all honesty, Cannon Brawl is more of a "towers of offense" game, as you have to destroy the enemy base. Now, Defense Grid 2, that's a towers of defense game. Defense Grid 2, or DG2, is a game that takes place in some intergalactic war. Apparently, Earth … [Read more...] about Defense Grid 2 from Hidden Path Entertainment
Neverending Nightmares is probably the scariest game you will ever play
I first saw Neverending Nightmares at PAXPrime, and I watched the trailer that you can see above. In case you are wondering, you're right, and you should be creeped out by it. Here's something that you might not be wondering, you should be creeped out by it. This is a good thing, and I will explain later. Now, some of you know that I originally created this blog for … [Read more...] about Neverending Nightmares is probably the scariest game you will ever play
Gauntlet returns to the console
I can't believe that I forgot to report on Gauntlet! I mean, this is a remake of a video game that changed video games as we know it. If you are not familiar with Gauntlet, it was originally a stand-up video game that up to four players could play, as different characters: barbarian, elven archer, wizard, or Valkyrie. It was Dungeons and Dragons in video form, where the … [Read more...] about Gauntlet returns to the console
Spoiler Alert lets you play a video game in reverse
When I was at PAXPrime 2014, I had a chance to play Spoiler Alert from Megafuzz Studios and it was like nothing that I ever seen. It started out when I beat the last boss, and the credits rolled. I thought that I was a victim of some elaborate prank. Suddenly, the credits rolled in reverse, and then I had to play the game backwards. This means that I had to jump on … [Read more...] about Spoiler Alert lets you play a video game in reverse
Poof Vs. the Cursed Kitty
Seeing all of the games that I have tried out since PAX Prime, Poof Vs. the Cursed Kitty is probably the most difficult. I'll go ahead and start with the premise of the game, where you play a knight who defends a cat who can somehow lay golden eggs. The game is a lot like Mario Brothers, the one that came out before Super Mario Brothers. Some of you might remember it, … [Read more...] about Poof Vs. the Cursed Kitty
Cannon Brawl from Turtle Sandbox
I have to admit that I don't play a lot of towers of defense games. If you aren't familiar with them, they usually involve setting up an army so you can start an advancing army. Cannon Brawl is a very fun form of this game. Cannon Brawl has a premise that is part steampunk, part fantasy. It takes place in a world where two royal brothers are fighting each other in … [Read more...] about Cannon Brawl from Turtle Sandbox
Fenix Rage from Green Lava Studios
Well, there is nothing I like more than playing some Steam Games, and Fenix Rage, from Green Lava Studios, is quite addictive. Fenix Rage is a 2D action platformer which has a similar kind of play that I have seen before, I just can't think of the name. The game is about beating a level by getting a character from point A to point B, in the least amount of time. This is … [Read more...] about Fenix Rage from Green Lava Studios
Fortified Game from Clapfoot Games
This is again a review of a game that I saw at PAXPrime 2014, but it is sadly not out yet. Now the company that makes it, Clapfoot Games, makes several other games like Hero Forge, Sector Strike, and Tank Hero. Fortified is a game that I want to play because I love retro-futurism. I think this word describes anything that is kind of a mix of what we thought the future … [Read more...] about Fortified Game from Clapfoot Games
