Sleeping Dogs. Wow, I wish I had played this game sooner. At first the story came off a bit cheesy. Like it took itself too seriously. But after a while it really grew on me. Sure it borrowed inspiration from Infernal Affairs, but never enough to be a total ripoff. It pays homage to Hong Kong action...
There's an interesting european company (danes) that did very hard games indeed. HG101 had a pretty good article on them a few years ago: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/zyrinx/zyrinx.htm Apart from the difficulty the games also had interesting technical feats to them. Red Zone, which was a cult g...
Since I was away, a new store opened in Belfast which has a buy and sell section for games, including vintage games. Snagged these three ti keep me occupied for a while. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j290/PeterC2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20140120_173824_zpsqxqortwu.jpg I was always kind of curious a...
I do like tabletop games, though I certainly don't play as much as i'd like. It's hard to find a good group to play with. Especially if you're playing an RPG. Far too many DMs start off with "You meet your party in a tavern...". I really got into the Doom boardgame a number of years ago. V...

I had been eying an unopened copy of this on ebay for a long time, and just now figured I really ought to grab it up before it disappears. The price was excellent; less than half of what other new copies of the game go for. http://oi41.tinypic.com/fokd2b.jpg So that'll complete my Gungriffon collec...
Dementium 2 HD - PC The original was one of the only reasons I held onto my DS as long as I did. Having a horror game for a mobile console was a real treat. Though the saving and level design did cause me to rage quit a few times, overall I really thought they were onto something special. I traded ...
Age of Barbarian has easily become my favorite Indy series of the past few years. Admittedly, I was drawn in by the skin. But I quickly found out the game was very well built. It's sort of like a 2D Demon's Souls. There is a lot of combat. Most of which is incredibly fun, and incredibly deadly. The ...
It's incredibly cheesy. And there are some minor annoyances with the checkpoint system. But overall I really enjoyed my time with it. Great puzzles/level design, and fun multiplayer. My video review:
