Back to the Future: The Game - Episode 1: It's About Time2010

4 out of 5 stars

When you look back at the movies from the 80's,not a lot of them tend to stand out like the Back to The Future series.The great (with total disregard for laws of physics) storyline,the fine attention to detail, the memorable characters are still in many peoples eyes favourite off all time.Now with Tellatale Games on the job to expand on this universe with Marty, Doc and Einstein, can they deliver the goods? Story…

Sam & Max Episode 304: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls2010

4 out of 5 stars

The penultimate installment in this season of Sam & Max is a wacky adventure from start to finish, and makes for great cliffhanger for the last episode in this season. Story We left our heroes in the clutches of Sam clones/or zombies(?) as they escaped the clutches of a reality made up by Pharaoh Sammunmak.Now,with the future of the world rest in the hands of a canine detective and rabbit-like psychic thing (oh…

Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent2010

3 out of 5 stars

As with all rookies, they can be rough at some spots or lacking the finesse of a seasoned pro. Nelson Tethers : Puzzle Agent is not a bad game by any means, it just needs more time in the works. Story The folks at Telltale decide to leave the busy streets of New York in Sam & Max, for a more serene, quiet location of Scoggis, Minnesota.Our hero is the head of the F.B.I. Puzzle Research Division, agent Nelson…

Sam & Max Episode 303: They Stole Max's Brain2010

5 out of 5 stars

Usually when a game ends on a great cliffhanger, the sequel falls flat of expectations.Telltale managed once in this season already to make me hyped up for the next installment with the cliffhanger in Episode 1:The Penal Zone, but the one in Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak made for one interesting concept.The promise of Sam acting out of character and Max, well out of body kept me waiting for this months (June)…

Sam & Max Episode 302: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak2010

5 out of 5 stars

Having played the previous episode in this season of Sam & Max, The Penal Zone, I was both hopeful but skeptical as well.The question was how good can Telltale replicate the unique "Time Warping" from the first episode, and that it still stays fresh.Thankfully for us, the fans, they went a different route. The story picks up immediately after the first episode, with Sam & Max finding a pair of skeletons that look…

Torchlight2009

For years have the horde of fans of the hack-and-slash genre begged, and demanded a sequel to Diablo 2.While the sequel is in the works, you might want to check out this homage to the popular series. Story Tourchlight focuses heavily on the gameplay, and that shows in the waterwash storyline.This makes the experience only dependable of your hunger for killing of endless hordes of enemies.That doesn't kill the…

Sam & Max Episode 301: The Penal Zone2010

5 out of 5 stars

Having played the last two seasons of Sam & Max, I was certain that I knew what to expect from the first episode of season three: Sam & Max : The Devil's Playhouse.But, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that not only did the graphics improve,but also some annoying quirks from past installments were fixed.Some bugs still remain,but we will get to that. Story Yup,they are back.Sam & Max against a giant space…

Beat Hazard2011

4 out of 5 stars

Usually when a game comes with only one or two men behind it's development, you can expect a solid idea, but not fully nor fluently executed.Issues like annoying bugs or bad controls tend to happen more often in games from the independent scene.So when purchasing a game like Beat Hazard, your must be aware that that involves a certain risk investment. Gameplay The game is a twin-stick shooter (even though you can…

Overlord II2009

4 out of 5 stars

You know,there are only a few game in the season calandar that actually have some form of refreshing take on a known subject, and Overlord II is one of them.Sure, the first one did the same thing, and it was fairly entertaining.But what about Overlord II?Is the sequel worth a try? Story The story of this Overlord is just after Overlord : Minions, and you play as the son of the former Overlord.Your first mission, as…

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas2004

5 out of 5 stars

Ever since 2001,when GTA III came out,the whole TPS franchise was changed.Never before was the sandbox element better implemented in a game then in GTA III.And after Vice City,the bar was raised even higher.The question was : "Can San Andreas raise to the expectations?".The answer: "Fo sho!",as CJ would say.The story is set in 1992 this time,and for the first time,the story was set not in one city,but in three : Los…
