After completing the original Alone in the Dark, I was expecting more of the same this time around. That is not a bad thing however, as I would describe the first title as an aged classic: it shows it's age, but the game underneath the creaks and cracks is still as good as ever and something anyone interested in the game history should give a while. But this would prove both true and false at the same time. The game is more of the same mechanics, but trying to support a style of game that just doesn't match that.
Machinika Museum (PC) Review
Once again a relic that's been in my backlog has made it's way forward after years in the dark, presenting something rather unique compared to my usual fair of game to try. But the intrigue of what was in here kept my attention when the dice called it forward. And I can't say it was a bad call. This is what for me would be a very comfy game, and I'm glad I got a few hours with it. If you are like me and enjoy a little bit of technical tinkering, you might just think so too...
Thimbleweed Park (PC) Review
This is one of those games that has spent years waiting for it's day in the sun. In fact, it was one of the first games I got when Epic Games started giving away free games every week. But was it worth the wait? Well, I can't say it really was, unfortunately.
Tomb Raider Legend (PC) Review
I have very little contact with this franchise. Outside seeing the first movie in theaters back in the day, I really had not done anything with it since playing the demo of the first game on my old 486. And while I enjoyed myself playing that demo, I had other games I wanted to play more so my interest never went any further then that. Then came the summer sales this year when I got this little title for about $1, curious what I had missed. I wanted to like it, I really did, but the big warning came up. When I have a hard time deciding whether to play with a controller or my mouse, it's usually a bad sign. It was here, and I'm glad it was so cheap, cause much more and I would have felt cheated.
