April is coming to a close and along with it Lucasarts month is also coming to a close. There have been so many good games made by Lucasarts, there have also been some bad ones. I mainly wanted to focus my attention on the games that I grew up with and love to this day. The last one I want to do is one of my most favorite games as a child and even today. The game I’m speaking of [...]
With the closing of the month comes the closing of my Lucasarts month special reviews. The past ones I reviewed were really well done and dear to my heart. These final 2 will always hold a special place for me, growing up on these games they’re like books or movies I have to read or watch at least once a year. It’s probably a safe bet to say that the Monkey Island series is my most beloved series. Much like any [...]
Next for Lucasarts Month I’d like to review a game that I remember fondly and playing constantly. At the time this game broke the mold for first person shooters for me and made me into a Jedi Knight for the first time. Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight. Story: The story is set one year after the events of Return of the Jedi. The player controls Kyle Katarn, who made his first appearance as a mercenary in Dark Forces. [...]
Next on the Lucasarts Spectacular is……Lucasarts The Dig Story: The story is something I really find one of the highlights of the game. It starts out that satellites pick up an asteroid heading on a collision course to impact with the Earth. However you won’t find any Bruce Willis or Ben Affleck here to help you out! You do however have Commander Boston Low (voiced by Terminator 2′s Robert Patrick.) Also you’ll have a German Archaeologist and Geologist Dr. [...]
Big things come in small packages, at least that’s how the saying goes. It seems to ring true with Klei Entertainment. For a company with only 8 published games and nearly eight years in existence it’s pretty impressive when they sneak in a quality game such as this. If stealthy assassination action tickles your kunai then look no further than Mark of the Ninja. At the start of the game you awaken to find your clan under attack by a [...]
Some of my earliest memories of PC gaming go back to the late 80′s and the early nineties. We didn’t have alot of games, you could probably count on one hand how many games we had. One was Castle Wolfenstein 3D and The Secret of Monkey Island 2. Our one other game was the game I want to talk about, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade PC game. Story: Everyone should know the story of The Last Crusade. If not here is [...]
Ever since the first Castlevania game was released on the NES I’ve been an avid Castlevania fan. I love just about everything Castlevania with the exception of a Gameboy game or two. Granted the games were difficult and still remain as one of the most difficult series, to me it’s also the most fun. Through the whole series it’s had some visually stunning areas, monsters, and bosses. Anyone who has played these games especially on the NES could probably relate [...]
As a child of the 80′s I was all about anything Nintendo. I loved them all Mario, Link, Simon Belmont, Samus Aran. However I didn’t know much about Pit or as I always thought his name was Kid Icarus. Even on the show Captain N they called him Kid Icarus! I remember seeing this game plenty of times at the stores, although I believe the boxart mostly turned me off to this game. I didn’t want to be some pansy angel shooting [...]
