Rated: 3/5 Introduction (ie addressing some criticisms of the game) So there are 2 versions of this game. One is the version which has anime chicks in scantily clad outfits doing some implied and ridiculous sexual gesture. The other version is a more historical version with black and white WWII photos. Regarding the latter, where's … Continue reading Barbarossa review

Grand Theft Auto V review
Rated: 4/5* * = with some caveats and warnings that must be brought up So, first confession, I initially played this a few years ago on the PS3. At the time, I thought it was the best GTA game ever made. Granted, one could think that with any newly released GTA game, but I thought … Continue reading Grand Theft Auto V review
Mass Effect 1 PC Review
Rated: 3/5 Don't worry, PC doesn't stand for politically correct. Went back and gave this game a play. Would've been a little more boring if I just played the same exact game from several years ago, so I mixed it up in the best way possible, modding. Didn't mod it extensively, just an HD mod. … Continue reading Mass Effect 1 PC Review
Wing Commander review
Rated: 2/5 So this PC version is from GOG.com, and uses DosBox. Well, this is a game that certainly shows its age from 1990, coming out 3 years before Doom, that had 360 degree movement. So in some respects, Doom is actually a step back in terms of gameplay compared to this game, but on … Continue reading Wing Commander review
Secret of Mana review
Rated: 3/5 So I played the SNES version, without the SNES, because I like being able to save when I want where I want. Anyway, the game is highly regarded as a classic and as one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. When I first started playing it, I had to agree. Mainly because … Continue reading Secret of Mana review
Hearthstone Review
http://wallup.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/hearthstone-heroes-of-warcraft-login-screen.jpg Rated: 1/5 I would talk about Star Wars: Rogue One after watching it, but I want to collect my thoughts and not give a review that is based on pure emotion. So instead I'm going to talk about Hearthstone, using pure emotion. https://pics.onsizzle.com/Facebook-31194a.png This game is evil! Pure fucking evil! You know how people … Continue reading Hearthstone Review
Revisiting the Sensitive Censorship Issue in Board Gaming.
Some of you may remember in an earlier blog post how I was outraged at the alteration of card art for a game I backed on kickstarter. Outraged because I was under the impression that the art was changed due to Tristan Hall (the creator … Continue reading Revisiting the Sensitive Censorship Issue in Board Gaming.
Obduction review
Rated: 4/5 I helped fund the kickstarter campaign, and I'm late to the party in reviewing it. I wanted to make a gameplay video first, showing my runthrough, but apparently it's never that simple. I used the Nvidia Geforce Experience Shadowplay Recorder. It tends to split the clips up into 15-20 minute increments, which didn't … Continue reading Obduction review

A rant against both in Gloom of Kilforth
Doom (2016) Review
Rating: 3/5 "It's a glorified arena shooter." This is a review of the single player campaign only. This review does not cover the multiplayer aspect. I played through this on Ultra Violence difficulty until I beat the game (about 12 hours), and played a couple more hours on Nightmare mode. What qualifies me to review … Continue reading Doom (2016) Review
