This is the third part in a series I’m writing on games that I played so long ago that I’d almost forgotten them. Back in the early nineties, the big to-do about “The 7th Guest” was its 3D graphics and FMV. Since it was one of the first games to be released on CD-ROM only, […]

Malaria’s most prominent symptom is sudden-onset dizziness and blurred vision which disappears almost instantly when you take a malaria pill. Still, if it hits when you’re just about to cross a bridge, expect to smash through the guardrail and face a watery death. In Africa, guns rust in a matter of hours. As long as […]

This is the second part in a series I’m writing on games that I played so long ago that I’d almost forgotten them. This week, I’ll be talking about an old Dungeons & Dragons title that pre-dates Baldur’s Gate. “Dark Sun: Shattered Lands” was good for many of the same reasons as Baldur’s Gate. It […]

This is the fourth part of my series of Braid hints. It’s not a walkthrough, because simply giving the puzzles’ answers would ruin the game. But I got so frustrated at the game that I gave in to temptation and looked online to find answers to a puzzle in both world 2 and world 3, […]

I wasn’t sure what to think about this game before having played, and I almost gave up during some platforming when I kept dying and had to restart the level. But then I found out that F6 quick-saved the game, which helped a lot. I stuck with the game til the end, and was very […]
