After several years of not playing it, I decided to play Personal Nightmare again. I remembered the last time I had played this game was a long while back when I was in elementary school. I thought it was cool because it’s a horror game and I love horror. Yes, as plain as that statement may be, I try to play anything that is in the horror genre such as Alone in the Dark and Dangerous Dave. I had these on my Packard Bell and ran them well. Man, I love retro. +Continue Reading
I was surfing through Steam once again because of the holiday sale and I found the Void. I figured I should try it out and see exactly what this game was about. Developed by Ice-Pick Lodge, the Void is a survival horror adventure to where you are thrown into the abyss of Death with a dying soul and you have to find a way to keep surviving. Apparently, souls die whenever they’re stuck in the Void, which is known as an odd space between life and death.

Developed by Amanita Design, Samorost 2 is the sequel to the free browser game Samorost 1. It is a short episodic adventure game where you have to help out this small space gnome seek out his dog after a couple of aliens kidnapped it. It is your job to help this little guy to get his best friend back through different areas of space. The first game and chapter 1 of Samorost 2 are available for free, which I thought was a great idea to get people interested in the story itself. +Continue Reading
I usually find myself playing games that have zombies as the main antagonists. Yes, zombies are naturally antagonists, but they weren’t always the bad cannibals we fight here and there in games. They were once human you know. So when I saw Zombie Driver on Steam, I decided that I should play it and see what this game would mean to the zombie lovers out there. Developed by Exor Studios, this single player zombie game puts you in the driver’s seat where you roam a huge city that has been overrun by the human-flesh eating people. +Continue Reading
Since I sold my soul to AT&T for the iPhone, I’ve been building a collection of apps and games from the infamous Apple App Store. I recently bought a new game named iHooy which was developed by Braineaters, an independent developer in Poland. This game is based on the history of the greatest hero, Hooy Ventura, who has been thrown into an ongoing war against bombiez and is the last line of defense for humanity. Are you up for the challenge? The mission is simple: to destroy bombiez and save innocent citizens. Your weapons of choice are the crumplers; giving you the ability to smash bombiez with a press of a button. +Continue Reading
I personally love the survival horror genre but I decided to try out something a little different. As I was looking around on Steam, I found Dreamkiller developed by Mindware Studios, which seemed to have an interesting plot. During the beginning cutscene, you are introduced to its main character, Alice Drake, where she explains that she uses her ability of entering dreams to assist her patients. She continues on saying that she sometimes has to remind herself where her mind begins and her patient’s mind ends. If you’ve seen Nightmare on Elm Street 3, the main character Kirsten can bring other people into her dreams. This is basically the same idea but instead of fearing just one child-killing maniac with one-liners, it’s a variety of monsters created by the many phobias that Alice’s patients have. +Continue Reading
If Fate and Diablo II had a baby, what would it come out to be? The developers behind Fate, and the co-creators of Diablo II have created a world that has meshed the two together and called it Torchlight. As the game started up and I first heard the background music, I was reminded of how closely related this game was to Diablo II. It made me more than a bit nostalgic, and was actually a bit refreshing, if not overpowering. +Continue Reading
Wolfenstein 3d (or Wolf3d) was the game that popularized First-Person-Shooters, and evolved the gaming industry into what it is today. It was inspired by a 1980s game made by Muse Software called Castle Wolfenstein. The full game consisted of 60 levels, with 10 levels per episode; the shareware version only included the 1st episode. I bought the shareware disk for $1.07 about 15 years ago. 3 years after I bought it, my old computer crashed and took my saved games with it. As I was looking through my old computer disks, I luckily found the disk and decided to buy the full version. I downloaded DOSBox and mounted my games directory. I selected my difficulty level as ‘Bring ‘em on’ and began my new game. I know I should have gone for it with ‘I am death incarnate’ but it’s been a while. +Continue Reading
