Yesterday I wrote an extensive review of Gemini Rue, the latest point-and-click adventure game published by Wadjet Eye Games . I hit on all the points I wanted in that review, and was just adding links right before I was going to send, when an accidental click effectively erased the entire review. I usually remind myself that that sort of suffering is small compared to the suffering in the world in general, and I…
Both Bloodmoon and Tribunal, add-ons for still-popular Morrowind, each have their own distinct flavor that borders on experimentation.

But within RPGs are several genres, and many of the people camping around one RPG expression don't…
Mondo Medicals is a rather unforgiving and devious first-person puzzle game by Cactus Software of Sweden. The walls of the rooms you see are all in shimmering gray-scale, as if you were picking up a 1950's broadcast of an alternate history, where computers and video games were developed long before they were in our time-line. The sound is scratchy and odd, and when you see the man in black in the strange cut-scenes…
