Disappointment hit me hard in October. I found out then that a game I was expecting to be delivered in 2015 wouldn’t be delivered until 2016. That game is called Obduction. That game is produced by Cyan and is the “spiritual successor” to Myst. Riven, the sequel to Myst, was one of my all-time favorite…
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. Commonly attributed to John Lennon, this quotation suits this game perfectly in my opinion. Time that I spend playing LOTRO is certainly not “productive”–nor is playing any game very “productive”–but I certainly enjoy it, more than most other video games that I’ve ever played. In fact, I…
Well that happened quickly. Either that, or my life was too busy to notice how much time had passed. Probably the latter. Telltale’s Game of Thrones video game is actually a six-part episodic game series available for Mac, PC, PlayStation, Xbox and iOS. Episode One, Iron from Ice (which I have played and reviewed), was released…
Decisions, decisions, decisions. When Telltale’s Game of Thrones video game was first announced, I thought, “Do I want to preorder it on Steam on my computer and download it to play it on the day that it’s released? Or should I wait a week and get download it on my PlayStation 3 (since there was a week delay…
When you play the game of thrones, you win… or you try again. When the most popular TV show (according to number of votes on IMDb) includes the word “game” in the title, it certainly makes sense that it be adapted for a video game. The first of six episodes will be available from December 2nd on…
All the way back on April 9th, Pottermore announced that it would be severing ties with Sony, which had been integral in starting the brand in the first place. Now that partnership has been dissolved, which leads to three questions: What is the future of Pottermore.com? What is the future of Pottermore at PlayStation Home? What is…
I don’t care for Potions. As a Ravenclaw, while this might sound a bit stereotypical, my favorite class is Charms. I suppose this is in part because Professor Flitwick, the Head of Ravenclaw house, is the teacher. I have a high respect for Professors Sprout and McGonagall as well, but I have none left over…
“Well, that could have been worse.” Crash. The Goblin King falls upon the dwarves (and they still remain uncrushed). Then, a washing machine. Then, a squealing pig. Wait a moment. That doesn’t sound like the movie. Well, except for the dwarves remaining unscathed and uncrushed part. But the washing machine? What could I possibly be…
Today, the Pottermore Insider announced that “Wonderbook: Book of Potions” is now released for the PS3. It was previously announced that it would be released on November 12th (Tuesday) in North America and November 15th (today) in Europe. However, after checking Amazon.com every day since Tuesday, “Book of Potions” is still nowhere to be found. I…
Video games. They have a reputation. A reputation for being violent. Mindless. All reflex and no thought. Enter Myst and Riven. Both released over 20 years ago, they were the most popular PC games of their time. While Myst wasn’t my favorite, Riven, the sequel, is one of my top ten favorite video games of all…
