Terry Randolph - Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 and 3 (Steam/PC), Gears of War: Ultimate Edition (Xbox One), FallOut 4 (Xbox One), Danganronpa (PS Vita) - I know that’s a lot of games to take on for one week, and it looks like I haven’t been making any progress (the list is pretty identical to [...]
Last Token Gaming Let’s Play – Starfox Adventures (Part 1: Enter General Scales)
What We’re Playing This Week – First of February Edition
Marshall - Skyrim (Xbox 360), Killer7 (PS2): Between trying to get two history books published, working part-time at Dimple Records (the one on Arden if you fancy visiting me!), boxing lessons, getting my financial life together (including saving up for a car), Presidents Baseball work and other things, I suddenly realized I hadn’t sat down [...]
A Tactical Combat Game Worthy of Star Trek
by Benjamin Fitzgerald ***To continue my coverage of Star Trek computer games, I turn my attention to one of Interplay's most critically acclaimed titles, Star Trek: Starfleet Command.*** Except for the latter half of Deep Space Nine, Star Trek has never really been about space battles. Starship battles played a prominent role in only four [...]
Indie Piñata Review – Desktop Dungeons
by Benjamin Fitzerald Desktop Dungeons is one of the games I bought through Indie Piñata. Part roguelike dungeon crawl and part lighthearted kingdom building, Desktop Dungeons offers many hours of light-hearted yet grueling entertainment. It has a pretty steep learning curve, but there are a lot of tutorials to help you learn the game [...]

by Benjamin Fitzgerald Developer: BioWare Publisher: Interplay Release Date: December 21, 1998 Genre: Fantasy, role-playing Mode: Single-player, multi-player Rating: T for Teen Ah, Baldur’s Gate. Ugh, Baldur’s Gate. I don’t know if I’ve ever played a game that’s so simultaneously rewarding yet antagonizing. I’ve plugged around 100 hours into this game, and as [...]
Let the Challenge Begin – Backlog Challenge 2016
As I stated in the What We’re Playing This Week, I’ve decided to take on a challenge that I feel will definitely be hard to complete. Long ago, I had gone into a period where I thought I had no games to play (which is a lie, I’ll always have games to play) and decided [...]
I’ll take Indie Piñata for 300(¢)
by Benjamin Fitzgerald Back in September, Gog.com partnered with Crunching Koalas to bring Indie Piñata into the world. It’s a pretty cool idea, really. How it works is that you are able to buy a game at random for $3.00. I’m not much of a gambler myself, but in this instance I thought it [...]
