A Grand Adventure... If You Already Know Who Perry Rhodan Is
(PC)
If you live in America, you know about Star Trek. You may not be a fan, but you certainly have a good idea of what it is, and the impact it has had on your society. If you live in England, the same thing applies to Doctor Who. But in ...

Guybrush Threepwood Sails Again!
(PC)
Tales of Monkey Island: The Launch of the Screaming Narwhal is a Monkey Island game, or, at least, the first part of one. It looks like a Monkey Island game, it sounds like a Monkey Island game, it feels like a Monkey Island game, and it plays like a Monkey ...

An Auspicious Beginning for a Video Game Legend
(PC)
Ask someone knowledgeable about the video game industry, especially its history, about noteworthy individual game designers, and Tim Schafer's name is more likely than not to be one of the first mentioned. His playfully dark style and penchant for witty dialogue give the games that he works on a feel ...

More "Missed" Than "Myst"
(PC)
Every genre of video games has at least one model, one bright, shining example of greatness that countless games afterwards will try to copy. First-person shooters have Doom, Quake, Halo, and Gears of War. Real-time strategy has Command & Conquer and StarCraft. Survival horror has Resident Evil and Silent Hill. ...

Strong Bad's Cool Game for People Who Already Like Him
(PC)
In 2006, Telltale Games came up with a formula for creating episodic adventure game series. The first element of this formula involved finding an entertainment property with enough of a fanbase to provide an instant market for their game, but not enough of one to kill their budget with licensing ...

When A Problem Comes Along, You Must Tap It.
(DS)
Last year, Guitar Hero took the standard idea of performing actions (pressing buttons, strumming a paddle) in time to music, and wrapped its own very distinctive style and charm around it. In much the same way, Elite Beat Agents will have you tapping, dragging, and spinning surrounded by a manic ...

NFL-Less Football That's More Kasparov Than Madden
(X360)
When the NFL sold their soul, I mean, exclusivity rights, to EA Sports, what was a competitive genre for games became a struggle to find a niche outside of the NFL (for everyone whose name isn't Madden, that is). Midway found success early on with Blitz: The League, although comparing ...

Handheld Time-Wasters Don't Come Any Smarter
(DS)
Although they haven't been around as long, or received as much press and attention, as Su Doku puzzles, nonograms are still nothing new, and not without a following. The original Picross (short for Picture Crosswords) games were produced by Nintendo for the Game Boy and Super Famicom in the mid-90s, ...

For Everyone Who's Ever Wanted to Blow Up Their Sandbox
(X360)
Say what you like about Grand Theft Auto, the game that spawned the open-world genre of video games. Whatever your opinion of it, it did a lot of things interesting enough to spawn plenty of games that imitate the formula. Crackdown is one of those games, putting you in the ...
