  • murse2008 reviewed Machinarium

    Colour me charmed: From the moment I laid eyes on Machinarium I was fascinated by its unique sketch-like art style and its rather melancholy atmosphere. When I learned that the striking visuals accompanied a point and click adventure game I snapped it up from Steam. I've completed the rather short but thoroughly charming adventure Machinarium has to offer and I can happily say that almost every moment of the experience was worthwhile. Machinarium ...

  • murse2008 commented on Ryan's editorial review Brütal Legend
    I think what this review tells me is that Brutal Legend released on the PC with a few additional missions types in a few months time would be awesome. Double Fine, make it happen!

  • murse2008 reviewed Zuma's Revenge

    A pretty hardcore casual game: Plants versus Zombies placed PopCap on my radar as far as game purchases go and the re-emergence of an old university favourite of mine (Zuma), made its sequel an almost instant impulse buy. I've completed the adventure mode of Zuma's revenge and a few of the challenge maps and I'm happy to say that Zuma's revenge is a worthy sequel packed with all the features and modes one would expect ...

  • murse2008 reviewed Fallout 3

    A few radroaches in an otherwise delicious squirrel stew: I should start out this review by stating that I was and probably still am an absolute TES4: Oblivion addict. Getting Fallout 3 which is very similar in structure to TES4 and had the additional benefit of the Fallout setting was an absolute no-brainer. Luckily, with the exception of a few hickups I thoroughly enjoyed the 61 hours I've spent with the game and am sure to spend with the ...

  • murse2008 commented on Jeff's editorial review Halo 3: ODST
    @whatthegeek: It really seems as if you are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. Yes the page is skinned and yes they ran Halo ads and thus the disclaimer at the bottom. But that is the advertising side of things, why does it have anything to do with the review and the review score? For all intents and purposes this page could have been skinned in a way ...

  • murse2008 commented on hookem1883's list Most Overrated Game Franchises based on story and game fiction
    Do you include Half-Life 2 in your list? (Since you've listed Half Life) I think all the stuff in there about Alyx, Dog, Barney, and Eli Vance are quite interesting. Meaning that the plot is far more character driven than the first game and successfully so since Half Life 2 and its episodes has some of the best facial animations and voice acting to date.

Great game, but avoid the iffy port (PC)
I picked up Dead Space for the PC last year after a very favourable review on this very site. Being mostly a PC gamer I decided to get the PC version of the game. While I had a great time with the game there are some issue that would make ...

Art, trapped inside a game (PC)
I picked up The Path after being intrigued by its description on Steam. My impressions were that the game would play out like an interactive version of the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale. Such a description is true in some senses but The Path diverges from gaming conventions in a ...

The Icarus of Stealth Action Games (PC)
At its outset Assassin's Creed (AC) promised to be everything I could want in a game. A large world in a fairly uncommon setting, an interesting story, amazing AI, and an exciting blend of game play elements.  The animation is excellent and you can almost feel every kill. The sheer ...

The nostalgia factor (XBLM)
When I saw Wolfenstein 3D on Xbox Live Marketplace I had bought it before even blinking again. I fondly remember as a child that my brother and I would take 2 hour turns playing the game as we only had one computer. One would sit and wish the time away ...

A missed opportunity (X360)
I received a copy Marvel Ultimate Alliance (MUA) as part of my Xbox 360 Elite and from the outset I have to admit that it is not the type of game that I would typically buy. The game sat on the shelf for a while but due to my growing ...

Adorable and addictive (PC)
The first time I saw the the promotional music video for this game I thought "Ugh, another casual Popcap game.". I did think however that it would make a nice gift to a casual game player and thus I gifted PvZ to my mom. For research purposes of course I ...

A fine port of old game mechanics (DS)
I'm very conflicted after finishing Final Fantasy IV. One hand it is an excellent effort to bring the SNES version of the game up to the standard of the DS. The graphics have been updated to use 3D models whil retaining the original games perspective. The animations have been vastly ...
