Gone Home is not a game.It is a walking simulator. You just walk around a house and uncover the story of the family that lives there. The writing is superb. The are a lot of relate-able moments in the story. The main plot line is well thought out and the voice acting is excellent. That being said, it took me only 2 hours to see everything.
This game is puzzling in all the right ways.
The Catacombs Pack includes all the Catacombs 3D FPS games as well as the original 2D Catacombs game. I only played the FPS games. The games has the same controls scheme. It is a bit outdated but not too difficult to grasp. You have forward, backwards, turning sideways, shooting and a button that you hold in to strafe. The combat is fluid but there are never a lot of envies. The graphics are great for VGA graphics. The sound is well done for its time. Recommended for anyone interested in old-school FPS games or the history of video games.
Her Story is a great game. The game play involves looking through a database of videos. The catch is that only 5 videos are displayed at a time. As you watch videos you have to make notes of keywords. By using keywords in the search engine, you are able to watch more and more videos. The videos are done well, with an amazing actor. I won't say anything about the story to avoid spoilers. Her Story is a unique experience that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the story in games.
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is a game I got when I was young (Around 9). I played the game for hours but never got past the second set of races. I still have the disc and a few years ago I tried to get the game to run. I couldn't get the game to work. I eventually gave up and hoped for a GOG release. I checked GOG and hoped for the game to appear on GOG. And today it finally happened. The game runs great. It started in wide screen by default. There were no visual glitches. The controls (I am using a keyboard, just like when I first played it) works without the need to change anything. The game has a sense of speed that few games have. It really feels like you are darting around the tracks at 700 km per hour. The tracks are designed well with lots of open spaces and twisty areas. One minor thing that may be of putting is the control scheme. The pod racer needs 8 buttons to control. Then there are a few other buttons that needs to be used. The controls aren't terribly complicated once you get used to it but there is a learning curve. BOTTOM LINE: A great port of a great game. A steal for 10$.
I started shooting at a cop. The cop shot back. The people in cars started to drive away in panic. One of them ran over the cop. I saved a lot of ammo.
Saints Row 4 GOTC edition is a great game. It takes the typical Saints Row humor, turns it up to 11 and adds a lot of super powers stuff to do. A great ( Although very easy) open world game that is perfect for messing around.
This is the single greatest soundtrack of any game. The reasons for this is the opportunity to hear the victory music. This is almost the only way I can hear it. Seriously. Also: almost 3 hours of jazzy goodness.
Torchlight is a great game. It was made in 11 months by Runic Games (Whose closure will haunt my dreams for years to come). It is a relativity simple game. You start in a town and have to get to the bottom to kill the big bad monster. There are 35 floors to go through and a few different environments. Each environment has a unique set of enemies. The environment changes every five levels. There are three classes. The alchemist (The mage), the destroyer (the melee/tank) and the vanquisher (the long range/ thief). Each playable class has three skill trees/ The can feel a bit generic but there are no class restrictions on the gear. The loot system works really well. The game also features a pet system. Pets fight beside you, carry your loot and can even go to town to sell all your unwanted loot. All of the above means that this game is a really fun game. And the classes makes for great replay value. (Currently on play through 3)
