Wolfenstein
Sep 25th
If you’re looking for a unique shooter experience let me tell you right off the bat that Wolfenstein’s not it. It has nothing innovative or outstanding about it, but somehow, its bag ‘o used goodies still comes together to offer an entertaining experience. It’s like a charming beast stitching together with age old ideas that have been used and abused by the genre over and over again.
Osmos
Sep 25th
There’s a simple joy in playing minimalistic physics-based games that are anchored on ingenious game engines. Osmos is one such treat that’s developed by Hemisphere Games. The premise is simple – you gain control of a small ball of mass called a ‘mote’ and your goal is to become the biggest. To do so, the mote can absorb other globs of mass that are smaller than it, but if it touches one that’s larger, it gets absorbed, ending the game.
Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2 – The Siege of Spinner Cay
Sep 25th
The second chapter of the Tales of Monkey Island unfolds, as this series revival – one of the few well done 2D to complete 3D transitions – continues where the first chapter left off. Adventure games have pretty much taken a back-seat over the past few years, it’s only after the revival of this – one of the most popular adventure game franchise – that they’ve come back into the limelight. The first game of the series was truly epic, so understandably, fans are skeptical about the episodic path the franchise has taken, since most similar ventures have bombed in the past. So let me get this out of the way right off the bat – Tales of Monkey Island’s headed in the right direction; the second chapter of this one’s every bit as good as the first.
Ashes Cricket 2009
Sep 25th
Put off by the terrible box art of Ashes Cricket 2009, I didn’t expect much from the game. The proverb ‘do not judge a book by its cover’ came around to bite me in the ass this time, since behind the shabby exterior, bad animation, and less than perfect optimization, Ashes Cricket 2009 had quite a unique experience (in a good way) in store.
