Untimely Revue: Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

Yep. I'm playing old games again. This might be the last Untimely Revue for a while, since haha what is a senior project, so savor it. Make it last. Like a really delicious piece of candy. Or your first kis--Oh, who are you kidding? You haven't kissed anyon--Sorry. Projecting again. 

Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 17, "I Forgot to Put a Title In"

Yeah, I missed a week. Whatevs. Life happens. Deal with it. Let's talk about old games. Old games are cool. Most of them. Let's talk about ones that aren't so cool. 

Untimely Revue: Dead Island

Oh, Dead Island. What to say about you… Hm. I could say THAT, but I’m saving it for the ending summary. Oh, whatever. Let’s just talk about the game. I’ve had Dead Island in my Steam library for a couple years now (it got gifted to me by someone who bought a Humble Bundle and had some of the games.) Anyway, I finally decided to crack open the game when I saw a Twitch streamer (CohhCarnage) playing Dying Light. Dying Light looked awesome, so I was like, “Self, you should play the game that the studio made before this so you can appreciate the changes.” I shouldn’t listen to myself. I give bad advice.

Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 16, "National Public Radio"

Think about the title. Just think about it... Well, I'm getting to the bottom of the NES games. Guess I'd better start working on Super Nintendo games pretty soon, otherwise I won't have a safety net for the weeks when I don't get much gaming done. In non-retro game news, I've been playing Darkest Dungeon, which has somehow managed to take the sado-masochistic relationship provided by the Souls games and shove it into a party-based Lovecraftian dungeon-crawl RPG. So, it's awesome, basically. Anyway. Old games. 

Untimely Revue: Assassin's Creed

I think you should know the pattern by now. I play games well after their best-by date, then review them. Why? Because I'm a horrible person. Let's get to it *record scratch* to it t-t-t-t-to it!

Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 15, "Metal Gear Storm's Metroid Punch-Out!"

Okay, that title didn't work out how I wanted it to. Whatever. I've been playing Guacamelee this week. It's pretty fun. That and Darkest Dungeons have consumed my weekend. In particular, I like Darkest Dungeon's Mike Mignola-esque art style. But I also played some NES games. And wrote things about them.

Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 14, "M-Pathy for the Devil."

Yeah, yeah, it's "Sympathy for the Devil." Whatever. I care about getting it right about as much as I cared about Dead Island's story. So not at all. Anyway. I played games. Some were good. Some were not.
