Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist (Mac): COMPLETED!
You know,”Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist” takes almost as long to say as the game does to play. On my first playthrough, I clocking in at just 23 minutes, and it would seem that’s pretty slow. The title is also somewhat trolling. “Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist” contains exactly none of these things, except perhaps a tiger (although you never see it), since it’s actually set …
Deus Ex Machina 2 (Mac): COMPLETED!
Way back in the primordial past, when games were made from rocks and cost as much as a family car to buy, there was a game called Deus Ex Machina. I’ve never played it. I’ve read a lot about it, none of which makes any sense. From what I can discern, it was more an experience than a game, and consisted of some minigames that you played while listening to an audio tape. Because, of course, voices in early 1980s …
HuniePop (Mac): COMPLETED!
We shall not talk about the content of the game. We shall only talk about how it plays. And how does it play? Very well, actually. Thanks for asking. Basically, you chat to girls to find out about them, which give you “Hunie” points. You then go on dates with the girls which consists of a match-3 puzzle game. The dates give you “Munie”. You spend this money on gifts for the girls which generates more Hunie, and you spend …

Roundup! Mega Man 7 (Wii U) It’s been a few months since I started Mega Man 7. I think, after ploughing through Mega Mans 1-6 I may have had a bit of Mega Man burnout, and I was a bit disappointed with 7 anyway as it didn’t feel right. Anyway, I’m back on it now and have taken down the first lot of four Robot Masters. I’m enjoying it, and it does feel more like the NES games than it …
Things I’ve been playing recently
A lot of things, it seems. I’ve had a glut of new games over the last month and I’ve been playing each for a short time. I’ve yet to settle down and just work on one or two, so I’ve not made much progress in each. So here’s a list, in no particular order: Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition (Vita) My subscription to PS+ was autorenewed before I could cancel it (the whole service got DDOS’d and I couldn’t log …

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (PC) My first ever Steam Sale purchase! Sadly, it isn’t as great as I thought it was going to be. The graphics are flatter and drabber than videos had led me to believe, the roads are samey and short, and you’ve little choice in the routes you have to take. Still, driving all the cars off the road on the way to Belgium, then running down all the Belgians when you get there, never gets old. …
Dear Esther (Mac): COMPLETED!
I’ve had this sat on my Mac’s hard drive for some time now, but being a non-console game it never crosses my mind to play it. Not least because connecting up a TV and a controller and so on… Today I had a couple of hours free and a game a couple of hours long was available, so Dear Esther came out. First, I should point out this isn’t a game. I know there are people who would argue that …
Civilisation V (Mac): COMPLETED!
We could go into a long discussion about how Civ Rev was only considered completed when I’d achieved a victory with each and every nation, whereas with Civ V I’m counting it after a single victory, but I’ll counter all that with two points: It took ELEVEN HOURS to win ONCE. I ain’t doing all 30-odd. My rules. *raspberry* As you can see, I won through peace rather than ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION. As it turns out, in my rush to improve …
Civilisation V (Mac)
You know how I don’t play computer games? WRONG. A couple of weeks ago I blagged a copy of Civilisation V (note “s”) from someone who had a spare copy on Steam. He said I could only have it if I promised to actually play it, so I did. In actuality, I’d already bought it. Stupidly, I’d tied it to a Steam account I couldn’t access, so got it refunded, but I still wanted the game. The price then went …
Spore Creature Creator Demo (Mac)
Look! I made stupid things! This is Hoppy: And this is Steve:Here’s Steve doing something:And here’s a nice photo of Steve:
Civilization IV (Demo) (Mac)
I didn’t mean to play it, as I was using it to test my graphics card. But I ended up “testing” for 45 minutes – which is 100 turns and the full duration of the demo. Oops.
Second Life (Mac)
I stumbled across this just now and found there was a Mac version. Downloaded it then, and played it for about half an hour. Um, am I missing the point, or can you do nothing but chat and walk round a tiny island? And why is everyone naked?
