The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time
Monday, November 12, 2018
While The Journeyman Project was hardly a masterpiece when it came out, it was an ambitious attempt to blend a first-person perspective, impressive graphics, and a hard-edged sci-fi story line into a Windows-based multimedia experience. But as anyone who played Journeyman can tell you, the drawback to all this ambition was the slow transitions gamers […]

Kingdom o’ Magic
Saturday, November 10, 2018
Badly rendered graphics and some comedic flair. Not since Monty Python spoofed themselves in the off-kilter Monty Python’s Complete Waste of Time has there been a computer program with such a twisted and distinctively British sense of humor. Kingdom O’ Magic is a quirky adventure filled with dark humor and takes players on a wild […]

Gold and Glory: The Road to El Dorado
Monday, November 5, 2018
You won’t find many quality games based on movies, and those based on animated shows are even fewer. On the face of it, Gold and Glory: The Road to El Dorado, appeared to be among the few with real potential. Created back in 2000 on the animated movie with the same name, the game is […]

Police Quest: SWAT
Friday, November 2, 2018
Police Quest: SWAT is one of those odd games from Sierra that is difficult to categorize. Based on the adventure game with the same name (technically it’s the fifth Police Quest game), SWAT is a simulation / adventure where you play as a fresh SWAT recruit, advance through the ranks, and make split-second decisions in […]

Planet of the Apes
Wednesday, October 31, 2018
The best thing that can be said about Ubisoft’s adaptation of Planet of the Apes is that it’s based on the classic 1968 movie and not the old Tim Burton remake. Aside from that one reprieve, it’s exactly the kind of cookie-cutter movie spin-off we could easily survive without. Planet of the Apes kicks off […]

Beyond Time
Saturday, October 27, 2018
Beyond Time is a Myst clone, like the huge number of other Myst clones. It’s a bit like Timelapse or The Egyptian Prohpecy considering the ancient civilization setting, but while those games were at least tolerable, Beyond Time is most definitely not. Slideshow graphics with next to no animation, unoriginal puzzles, a boring storyline and […]

Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within
Friday, October 26, 2018
The original Gabriel Knight was very well received for its time. But when the sequel radically changed the visual style, fans were unsure what to expect. Were they about to receive another half-hearted, simplified and poorly written Phantasmagoria? The story opens about one year after the events of the first game. Gabriel is busy writing […]
