"Home" A Survival-Horror Indie Game




Home is a horror survival indie game. It has pixel graphics, but that only adds to the feel of the horror. The dull colors are perfectly ingrained into the game, and help assemble the mood and the feel.
As you start open the game it quickly tells you to turn off the lights, and play with headphones. I wonder why. The game is a choose your own path. There are different things that you will find, but you have the option to leave it, or take it. At one point its a possibility to take a gun, and you choose if you want it or if you don't.

Graphics: I love the graphics. The pixel graphics make it feel so unrealistic, but makes it feel more horror-like. The colors are mostly grey and black, and because of that the horror reels in. The combination is perfect making the perfect feeling.

Sounds: The sounds are deafening. Just opening up doors makes you want to run away. There are different things that trigger sounds, like opening doors or going up ladders. The doors are different. In the beginning the doors are wooden and caused a slight sound of the rusty metal that holds it. The doors keep changing. There is one door though that has a high screech and WILL scare you.

Plot: The plot leaves you questioning everything. Here are some things I kept asking myself, "Wait are those the same people? Why does the gun feel comfortable? Why are there bodies here? Why are there two papers?" Creating the story by yourself makes you on a cliff hanger every time. The reason it does that is because your only making one decision at a time, leaving the next a question to a question.
I guess I'll need it...wait...why?

Reassuring!?



Price: The price is very good. For the price that Steam is selling it for. The price is 2.99

Storytelling: The storytelling is text only. No voice acting. Its wonderful to read it aloud. Especially when there is people around you. The game is a perfect game for playing with other friends, because its scary but the decision making you can make with the other people. When you read it, you should read it with energy, and really act it out, or get someone to read it like that for you. It does change the feel of the game as well.

So if these things sound great to you, either head over to Steam, or head over to their website. Have fun!

Stronghold Kingdoms - Beta - Game-like-Evony

This is a game like the popular game, Evony. Where you build your town, making different types of farms, and researching certain things to advance in the world. This game is from Steam, and at the moment is in beta form. It is pretty fun, and like every other MMO Strategy Game its addicting. You just want to keep building and make your town stronger and stronger.

I am new to this game but am already finding myself addicted quickly. I have about 20 hours until my peacetime ends. The game is a little more complicated then Evony, but isn't as limited because it is a download. Although its only about 200 mb of space which is pretty low.

There is much more creativity in this game as well, being able to place your troops accordingly to how you want them. To put them into rows, and put men into the corners. Make walls. Although wall things are covered inside of Evony, here you see it and it looks much cooler and awesomer.

The game is free, and you can find it on steam. You should try it out, and see if you can become the become the best. Good luck!

McPixel - 20 Seconds to stop the bomb!

This is a point and click game made by the publisher Sos Mikolaj Kaminski. The point of the game is to stop a bomb from going off. You have a 20 second timer on the top right corner and you have to think fast and mess around with your surroundings to get it to stop. You will probably try the game over and over again about like 5 times, until you finally get it right.

The game is quick and to the point and its a laughable game. You kick people if you click on them. Theres many different interactions in the game, but most of them will end up with KABLOOM.

There is also free DLC that you can get and lots of extras. The game is 5 dollars on steam, and I really do recommend to go get this game. The game is amazing, makes you wanna laugh, and I give the game a review score of 7/10.

Although its a fun game, it can make you angry on certain ones, which is where you should really take a break to enjoy the game. The game is great for its price. The game in general though doesn't look to well. It looks like it was quickly done, but although it looks like that the game is fun and doesn't seem to have any problems with it.

So head over to http://mcpixel.net/, and either buy the game there, or go onto steam and buy it. The game is very much worth 5 bucks, and is really a steal.

Also I will be reviewing more games more often, mostly RPG, and Indie games. If there is a cool game I'll buy it as well. The games I will be reviewing will be cheap and affordable though. So if you need a fun cheap game and want to find out if its good head over here and type me a comment. I'll gladly read it and buy it and review it for ya. Thanks.

Fantasy Online - World of Warcraft-Pixel Graphics.

Fantasy online, is in beta form. It is a mmorpg, but it is no different from any other. To be completely honest, it is a bad game.

My reasons for this theres no difference. Its just stupid quests, that you can repeat. There isn't enough interest in the game to actually continue besides maybe an hour to two hours worth. The game doesn't bring anything new to the table, besides cliche quests.

The MMO part of the game isn't to fun either. Although you could argue with your friends, you could surely make it much more fun still. Not good enough.

Although graphics usually don't matter to much, the graphics are really bad and really stupid. There is no feeling of, old games to this that makes you wanna play it. The game itself is quite bad, and there is no real customization, except maybe some laughter. The laughter of reading an items description but it quickly fades. There is lots of grinding to quests and leveling and its not grinding as in you want to keep going. It feels like a crappy RPG, because the online part doesn't seem to play a big role in this game which it should. A RPG is good if it can last more than 15 hours to 30 hours, but not a MMORPG.

Overall this game is pretty crap, and to me I'd give it a 3/10. Thanks.

Torchlight 2 Review (Diablo 2 Like Game!)

Hello hello everyone. My name is Jeremy. Torchlight 2 is a new RPG hack-and-slash Diablo like game. If you are like me, Diablo 3 didn't reach the expectations that were set upon it. Yes, those expectations were high but they didn't meet the criteria. Torchlight 2 is something that will make you quite happy. There are a few points I'd like to bring up in this.

The feel of combat. The feel of combat is very good. I made an Engineer and I carry around a gigantic cannon. A glowing blue cannon. The normal. It feels amazing when I LITERALLY blow through enemies with it. One shot, one click, the enemy explodes into blood, splattering all around him. From those guts, money and items suddenly appear. Flying from his no-longer-there body. The feel of combat is very nice in Torchlight 2. You love fighting enemies, and you just want to keep going and going.

LOOT. Although not as a big subject, Torchlight 2 quite enforces loot. Not something to change the game drastically, it does make a big grin appear over your face as you open up a chest and suddenly your screen fills with loot, that nothing more will appear. I ran around picking up the gold and suddenly more loot came out, and I was amazed, and was laughing at the same time.

Story line. The Story line was quite interesting in the beginning. I won't throw out big spoilers, not there is really anything big to it but if you remember from the first game there was a class called the Alchemist. The Alchemist in this game starts out as sort of the enemy. Like from Diablo, he contains Diablo, but it overcomes him and turns into Diablo himself. Its like that. Odrak, the main villan from Torchlight 1. He is dead, but his heart roams on, along with all the evil. The Alchemist has this and goes crazy. Trying to destroy all Ember. Its interesting story, but nothing to change the game drastically.

Graphics. The graphics have been kicked up a notch. Although still that cartoony feel, it gives a little bit of mood change along with it. Which is how it should feel. I actually lag a little, not that my computer is the best, but it is fairly well. The designs of armor, swords and other items in the game is amazing as well. Equipping those items, makes you feel amazing.

Environments. The environments are quite good. Along with what I said with graphics, it does seriously change the mood of the game, making you feel quite in tune with the game. You feel a personal connection with your character. The environments are quick to change, and keep the game fresh.

Online. Online is a big new feature. This will seriously prolong the survival of this game. Anytime you play with your friends, a game becomes much better. So when your using skype, vent, Teamspeak, and your yelling and laughing and joking along with your friends, as you quickly die by General Grell. What a shame...

Pets. The pets make a comeback, making them better and awesomer. They have more pets, and they can have cool spells as well. They can now retrieve items from the General Store, like Potions, and scrolls. They also sell your stuff so its almost like there is no reason to go back, except to return quests. Stay in the battlefield forever. Although I hate sending him off, I quite like my ferret.

That is all I can think of. This game is amazing, and I give it 9.5/10.

Torchlight 2 Release And Information.

Torchlight 2 release date is out! If you go to their main website for Torchlight 2, you will find it. The release date is 9/20/12! I cannot wait for this game to come out.

If you remember from Torchlight there was 3 classes. The berserker, the vanquisher, and the alchemist. Melee, range, and mage.

This time it will be Berserker, someone who fights with their swords and knives, and gets down and dirty into that fight. The Outlander, who stays from afar and has a cannon, or dual pistols, or crossbow, and shotguns. Fires that bad boy, and they fall to the ground with holes through them! The Embermage, who shoots magic from his hands, which destroys you upon touch!

The new class is the Engineer! Exactly whats on the title, and hes good with some melee weapons as well.

Unfortunately the release date is on a Thursday so I won't get my hands on it until Friday, the following day. I will play probably the hell out of that thing and come out with a review as soon as possible. Although lets be honest, its gonna be amazing.

Call of Duty Slowly Going Into Quick Sand!?

Hello, I hope you all had a good weekend. I was playing Terraria all day. So todays topic will be the call of duty franchise. Everyone knows Call of Duty, as the biggest fps seller. They make so much money each year from every time they sell a game. Although Call of Duty is big, its game are getting worse. Where are they going to go now. If you haven't noticed they did the past, they did the present, and now their going to the future. The future seems like a cool way to go, but its really not. The things they're showing don't bring me any, "I GOTTA GET THAT". I will get it though, just because its Call of Duty, just like every other person. Once Black ops II comes out, they have nowhere else to go.

Personally I'd enjoy a Civil War game, as long as they make it so we're professionals, easily able to reload quickly. Or hand us a bunch of repeaters. Or a revolutionary war, but good luck making that.

In a couple years people will see how its going down, and will just, slowly, stop buying it. The big guys will stop, then the followers will stop, and then Call of Duty falls to the ground.

Another idea is to do World War I. That'll be kind of entertaining...kind of. They either are going to have to go old wars, and ramp it up as much as they can, or slowly fall into the quick sand. That quick sand is pulling at them fast too.

Well, thats all I got for today. Have a nice day.
