All reviewsThe Sinking City2019
3 out of 5 starsThere is a big qualification on this mildly positive. The Sinking City is a flawed game. It has a lot of tedious running around town. The action is terrible. Some of the side quests are good, and some are just really boring item hunts. A lot of the building interiors are copy/paste jobs, especially on those tedious item find quests. And the ending is absolutely awful. What I had fun doing was solving cases, which is…
Hyper Light Drifter
5 out of 5 starsHyper Light Drifter is a game that looked cool on Kickstarter, but I passed on backing it. Then it came out and it still looked cool, but I'd read a lot of comparisons to Zelda and notes on high difficulty, so I passed. Zelda's not a series I have a lot of love for, and I'm not attracted to games that get a lot of buzz just for being difficult. However, when it got a lot of love during the Giant Bomb game of the…
Hacknet2015
5 out of 5 starsWay back when, there was this cool game called Uplink. It was a hacking simulator. You bounce your connection off of hacked machines, hide your steps, steal data. It was sort of close to how real hacking works, but it was just different enough and directionless to a point that it was kind of overwhelming. It was a hard game. Hacknet is something of an Uplink-inspired indie game. It's terms and tools are much closer…
Mark of the Ninja2012
5 out of 5 starsWhen Mark of the Ninja came out, it got a lot of positive attention. Klei was well-known for the Shank games, but Mark of the Ninja was supposed to be head and shoulders above it. I bought it and played the first level, and promptly put it in the backlog for something else. That was a mistake. It's an incredible stealthy 2D platform/action game. It easily does some of the best representation of senses that I've ever…

All articlesThe New X-COM
Apr 13, 2010
Here's the dealio; I think the original X-COM is overrated. I think it has fantastic atmosphere, and I love the art style, but I think it gets too much praise just for being in the hard game club. There have been countless attempts to recapture X-COM through spiritual successors, and direct rip offs, and they've all been met by a fanbase that refuses to accept anything but the same exact game t...
Crysis on Delta
Apr 12, 2010
Crysis is one of my new favorite games of all time. It's not new at all but I only bought it within the last year, because I finally had hardware that could run it maxed out. It is amazing graphically, but I was surprised by just how much of a fucking PC-ass PC game this is. The controls are basically flawless. It is unbelievably smooth to transition between suit modes, drop prone, get up, crou...
Things that make The Darkness awesome
Apr 11, 2010
slimy New York idiot manchild protagonist tentacle buddies ripping hearts out of your enemies' corpses tentacle buddies occasionally fighting over said hearts and thus blocking your view while being shot at impaling dudes with a tentacle and tossing them around hell is WWI.

This is a new blog post. I already have blog posts, so I'll probably delete this one.
Dear Interplay
Aug 8, 2009
Or why Descent is awesome and Earthworm Jim can go fuck himself. Recently you've reopened and called for new developers to revitalize your classic properties. Names like MDK and Earthworm Jim have been bandied about. Let's be honest; those weren't your biggest sellers. The one people recognize is Descent. Now Descent 3 was good. It had pretty graphics, fun weapons, and clever robots. But you sp...
Shooting brown things that bleed brown in brown environments
Aug 7, 2009
No, I'm not deployed again, I'm just playing Clive Barker's Jericho! Ha! Seriously. Can this game get more brown? I'm in the World War 2 period of it and I'm not shooting undead nazis, I'm shooting big brown monsters with chainguns and flamethrowers. At one point I was shooting a dead woman with a German accent named Lichthammer whom I assume was in nazi regalia but I can't be sure because ever...
