Delayed Reactions – Cryostasis
Monday, July 12th, 2010
There’s a growing legacy of atmospheric games coming out of Russia and the Ukraine; all uniquely Slavic and all taking gameplay chances that most Western studios wouldn’t dare. Joining the ranks of Metro 2033, and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Penumbra games is Action Form’s Cryostasis, a psychological and survival horror game where cold is your greatest enemy.
Delayed Reactions: PAX EAST 2010!
Sunday, April 4th, 2010
Don’t say you didn’t see this coming. After all the time we spent at PAX over the weekend, we’d be stupid not to weight in with our final report card for the first PAX in Beantown, USA. So without further ado, here are my personal thoughts on the weekend that was (and wasn’t) after the jump.

I always feel sorry when a game gets an average review. An average review means a game was fun for some and crap for others. Now how do I know where I fall?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
I remember my first introduction to Bayonetta was at E3 2009 and I was immediately turned off by the ridiculous sexual nature of the game, the over the top sassy strut of the main character and the shallow sexual references. It was hot, but too absurd, too hollow I thought.
Delayed Reactions – Dead Space: Extraction
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
While trying to make sense of my true reactions to Dead Space Extraction, I find myself at a bit of a loss. Dead Space Extraction is a very immersive game. I really get the feeling that I’m witnessing moments of pure terror in the hostile and hopeless expanse of space. It’s a hauntingly beautiful and well presented narrative. But that strength creates a larger conflict: I’d almost prefer to experience this story…minus the gameplay.
Delayed Reactions – Pikmin
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Brian rewinds the clock to a time when Nintendo’s console of choice was a purple square instead of a white rectangle. What will he think of the Gamecube’s first great strategy-puzzle-rts? Here’s his review of Pikmin!
