Review: To the Moon

Well, friends, it's time to dust off this journal again.  My major creative projects of the last few months are pretty much finished and as per tradition I'm now plagued with a terrible head cold.  Since I was quarantined and feeling sorry for my poor body, I decided to splurge and buy a new game from Steam to while away the sickly hours.  I ended up settling on "To The Moon", an indie game from Free Bird Games that if nothing else looked intriguing enough for $10.

I'll just say it now:  you have to play this game.

Dracula: Origins

Things have been pretty busy on my end but I'm back and eager to talk about games again!  And I'm actually starting off with a game that I'm honestly a little torn about:  Dracula Origin.  I've actually started to write a post about it four times now, each time stopping about midway and deleting it altogether.  

Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper

Steam was having some Halloween sales and so I ended up picking up a couple of games for $5, adventure games that I would normally pass over but hey, for $5 why not try them out?  The first one I bought for the title alone:  Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper.  That's right.  I was actually expecting to pull this game apart, but surprisingly, it's an extremely enjoyable adventure and a well done game overall.

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

Well, I’ve talked about the Longest Journey, it only makes sense that I talk about its sequel, Dreamfall.  In the adventure community, this had to be one of the most highly anticipated games of recent memory.  It took seven years to complete due to some development hell and the longer the fans waited the more their expectations grew.  Unfortunately, as with all over-hyped games, those expectations were not met and the game did not do nearly as well as it was expected to.  However that doesn’t mean it was a bad game.

King's Quest III Redux

This blog is being typed in my new digs!  Hello internet world!  I missed you!  And what better way to celebrate my newly returned internet and always impoverished state than to download a free King's Quest remake from AGD interactive?

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time

Well folks, my apartment is filled with boxes and I’ve been going through all my old stuff preparing for my move, so it’s time to go nostalgic again!  Today I’ll be talking about a little known game called “Titanic: Adventure Out of Time”, one that I had a blast playing as a kid and still holds up pretty well today as a graphic adventure game.
