ReviewCabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011

You are the hunted
by: BlueMark available on: Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3

Oh man, do I love to hunt.

Oh man, do I love to play hunting games.

Oh man, do I hate it when baboons attack me.

Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011 for the Wii is an overall good game — a different type of hunting game than I am use to, but that is a good thing. The hunting genre is plagued by less than boring games, while Activision makes it more exciting.

ReviewAvernum: Escape from the Pit

Are remakes always necessary?
by: Psychphan available on: PC

Whenever I think of indie gaming, especially from the mid-’90s, my mind always goes to game developer Jeff Vogel. And I’ve been a fan of his work ever since I played Exile II: Crystal Souls on the old 7.5 system Mac. I have always thought highly of his work. Jump forward nearly 15 years, and Vogel has rebooted his signature game for the second time. That game is Avernum: Escape from the Pit. And as I played this game I wondered, why is every developer and publisher returning to their back catalogue?

New York legalizing gay marriage troubles many people because it challenges what it means for people to be “a couple.” This was something Atlus was smart enough to use in its “Are you committed” trailer months ago for its provocatively styled game Catherine. So is the game “fluff” waiting to rot out your eyes, or is it an intelligent commentary on relationships?

ReviewLego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

This was my father to me, a boy of 6, watching the original Indiana Jones on the big screen. Our hero, Indy, was making his way slowly through a black temple in a dark jungle, only to find a shaft of light, strangely penetrating in this mysterious place. Indy reaches his whip forward grimly and releases the trap harmlessly as spikes carrying a corpse thrust forward to my eager and horrified eyes.
