Image by Tristan Hall Rated: 3/5 Introduction So after bitching about the censorship of the artwork on one of the cards, and later apologizing for it since it ended up not being censorship at all, finally got a hold of the game and played it, solo. So small controversy aside, how is this "roughly 10 … Continue reading Gloom of Kilforth review

Barbarossa review
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
