  • Dragon Quest

    ā€”

    ,

    Last night I was re-watching the Dragon Quest episode of AmeTalk (which originally aired late last year) and although it was fun, it made me realize how DQ illiterate I really am – Iā€™ve only played 4 (the updated version with 3D graphics that was released on the DS), 8, and 9. Since these games…

  • Game On, but Not for Everyone

    ā€”

    I recently attended theĀ ā€œGame Onā€ exhibition here in Montreal, and was disappointed by it. I did have high expectations, as it promised the inclusion of 100 games that were all playable, and although presented here at the Montreal Science Centre, it was originally devised by the Barbican.Ā  So whatā€™s wrong? The biggest issue I could…

  • Destiny

    ,

    I donā€™t usually revisit a game here, especially one that Iā€™ve owned for about a year, but a strange thing happened with Destiny. I had given up on it fairly early on, despite getting really excited for it after I played the Alpha release in the summer of 2014. I loved many aspects of the…

  • Pac-Man 256

    ā€”

    ,

    Iā€™m at a point where I very rarely play games on iOS these days, which is strange for me as I used to play tons of games that way, especially on iPad – it doesnā€™t help that my iPad 3 is finally showing its age, and I couldnā€™t even install the latest version of Duels…

  • Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris

    ā€”

    ,

    I liked the first Lara Croft game in this series, and although I was interested in playing Osiris, itā€™s only now that itā€™s come out as a PS+ free game that Iā€™ve gotten to play it. I havenā€™t had a chance to play co-op yet – which is where these games really shine – but…

  • Galak-Z

    ,

    Another game I was quite excited to finally get to play was the long awaited (mostly because I had been following its development) Galak-Z. I really liked Skulls of the ShogunĀ (from the same studio), and knew that this game would have a fantastic visual sense (which it does), but itā€™s also a joy to see…

  • N++

    ā€”

    ,

    I love platforming, but Iā€™m not particularly attracted to games that punish me – I only truly got into Dark Souls once I was able to play it with a couch co-pilot, who coached me through it. I always liked what I saw from the N series, but never ended up playing it that much…

  • Kingā€™s Quest: A Knight to Remember

    ā€”

    ,

    Having grown up playing the original Kingā€™s Quest games – not all, but a bunch, and I still have quite vivid memories of playing Kingā€™s Quest V, which at the time had cutting edge visuals for an adventure game – I was pretty excited at the idea of revisiting that world, especially as it looked…
