The Catacombs Pack (PC) Review

Now here is a franchise I have been looking forward to getting myself into for a long while. For most people, the name iD brings up images of fighting demons on a Martian base, or maybe Nazis in your bid for freedom from one of their prisons. Or maybe even being a kid on an inter-galactic adventure to save the world. But the developers behind these games did not start here. Before they were iD, they were already writing games and this collection gets a bit closer to their start. As such, I felt the need to delve back into history and see more of their original work. And while I was (for the most part) not disappointed, I do have to say, it is a starting place and clearly they only went up from here.

Now before we begin, there are many games in this bundle and as such the games will each be listed here to give you a quick way to reach any of them.

• The Catacomb
• Catacomb 3D: The Descent
• The Catacomb Abyss
• The Catacomb Armageddon
• The Catacomb Apocalypse
• The Catacomb (1989)
• Bonus: Dangerous Dave in "Trophy Trouble"

War Tech Fighters (PC) Review

I was pretty excited to start this game when the dice rolled it up. The trailer looked awesome and lets face facts, giant robots are always cool. Put them into a hectic battle or three and it could be absolutely amazing. But I think all the excitement was a little bit premature, as half-baked ideas included with the battle pretty much spoiled it all.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC) Review

Here we have an older game that fans of will forever love to their dying day, claiming it as a hidden gem in the PC gaming world. Seeing people loving it, I wanted to give it shot myself, but sadly, I think this is simply a game that isn’t for me. Add to this some serious bugs and, this was simply never meant to be.

Serious Sam II (PC) Review

Oh boy… where do I even start this game? This game is known to be the black sheep of the Serious Sam titles. But the first two games were so good, I could easily see an “ok” game take this title. In fact, my favorite series only enforced this with the much maligned Deus Ex: Invisible War. So, when I found this game on sale for literally a dollar and a half, I figured “what the hell” and added it to my collection. And in the name of the 100 Days of Gaming for Extra Life, I picked it up to play for anyone who cared to watch. I’m sorry… I mean, I hope you enjoyed it, but…. I was horribly wrong about this abysmal title and I am so sorry.
