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.
Game Attic – Doom (PC)
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
If you really want to blow a 90s gamer’s mind, tell them you’ve never played Doom. I’m not that old, but I still have trouble comprehending that there’s an entire generation of gamers that grew up well after Doom waved goodbye to the store shelves of Babbages and Software Etc. Not only that, there are gamers from that time that intentionally avoided Doom based on preconceived notions about the game that may or may not be true. So come take a first or second look at the game that defined a genre, and in many ways, gaming in the 90s.
Delayed Reactions – Dark Void: Meh, Close Enough
Monday, March 29th, 2010
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? How do I know which “average” titles will fit my personal interests well enough so that I can forgive some of the smaller flaws and still come away satisfied?
Delayed Reactions – Bayonetta: Not Your Average Sex Icon
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 – Torchlight
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
So I’ve been playing this game, Torchlight. Have you heard of Torchlight? You probably have, by now. And the rumors are true: Torchlight is basically the first Diablo with prettier graphics. This is not a bad thing.
