The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Saturday, December 1, 2018
Based on the fantasy book by C.S. Lewis and the 2005 movie with the same name, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is immersive, fast-paced, and filled with action and cool imagery. The action takes place during World War II, and you join several children – Peter, Edmund, Wendy and […]

Asghan: The Dragon Slayer
Monday, November 19, 2018
Asghan: The Dragon Slayer definitely has to be one of the worst Tomb Raider clones of the 1990s. It boasts to have been “Inspired by the works of the great J.R.R. Tolkien” (the name Silmarils was directly lifted from his books), but in reality it feels like any generic fantasy world most of the time, […]

The Incredibles
Wednesday, November 14, 2018
The not-so-incredible platforming game. It must be hard to translate the warmth, charm, and humanity of Pixar’s The Incredibles into a videogame, which probably explains why THQ seems to have just sort of thrown up their hands in the air and published a pair of modest titles – The Incredibles: When Danger Calls (a puzzle […]

Glover
Wednesday, November 7, 2018
A powerful wizard is messing about in his lab when he accidentally causes an explosion that supernaturally animates both of his gloves. While the good glove is thrown clear of the explosion, the other flies into a bubbling cauldron and becomes corrupted with the power of Pure Evil. Now, as Glover, you must go and […]

Gold and Glory: The Road to El Dorado
Monday, November 5, 2018
You won’t find many quality games based on movies, and those based on animated shows are even fewer. On the face of it, Gold and Glory: The Road to El Dorado, appeared to be among the few with real potential. Created back in 2000 on the animated movie with the same name, the game is […]

Police Quest: SWAT
Friday, November 2, 2018
Police Quest: SWAT is one of those odd games from Sierra that is difficult to categorize. Based on the adventure game with the same name (technically it’s the fifth Police Quest game), SWAT is a simulation / adventure where you play as a fresh SWAT recruit, advance through the ranks, and make split-second decisions in […]

Planet of the Apes
Wednesday, October 31, 2018
The best thing that can be said about Ubisoft’s adaptation of Planet of the Apes is that it’s based on the classic 1968 movie and not the old Tim Burton remake. Aside from that one reprieve, it’s exactly the kind of cookie-cutter movie spin-off we could easily survive without. Planet of the Apes kicks off […]

Simon the Sorcerer 3D
Tuesday, October 16, 2018
As with Escape from Monkey Island, Prince of Persia 3D, Earthworm Jim 3D or Quest for Glory V, Simon the Sorcerer 3D follows a long and twisted logic of changing hand-drawn, beautiful 2D games into ugly, crude and poorly animated 3D remakes that played like crap and made you barf. It was at that strange […]

Space Bunnies Must Die
Saturday, October 13, 2018
Space Bunnies is a bad B-game with poor controls, mediocre gameplay and weak graphics. It appears that the majority of money spent on the game was directed at the soundtrack, art direction and advertising because Space Bunnies Must Die! is all concept, no execution. It’s a painful experience to make your way through the early […]

ODT: Escape Or Die Trying
Sunday, October 7, 2018
Unlike many action games, O.D.T. has a story line that, if properly developed and integrated into gameplay, could add much to the overall experience. Set in a fictional world ravaged by a deadly plague, O.D.T. casts you as one of four crew members aboard a prop-driven dirigible that’s crashed in uncharted territory while on a […]
