I will be going to GDC this year! It’s my first time.  I’m pretty excited about this opportunity and hopefully will learn a lot to bring back to my classes.

What I want to talk about with this entry is another old game I’m playing lately, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney, and contrast it with the demo that was released for Ace Attourney Apollo Justice, a later entry in the series.  I missed the Phoenix Wright boat by several years. It seemed like a lot of…

I started up Assassin’s Creed today. The first one!  I’ve been told that the second game fixes some of the problems in the first game, but, well, I’m a late adopter. Just for the sake of discussion, I’ll say things I’m sure people have said before and explain what some of those problems are: 1.…

Happy Christmas at least, though I plan to be around some time before New Years… Let’s see what new games I might get and not actually write about in favor of writing about games a year or more old.  🙂

My husband played Super Metroid for the first time last night. I don’t know how you get to be an adult gamer without it, but there you go. I haven’t played Deus Ex yet, so I suppose we are “even”? The main impression I got from him is he liked the atmosphere and the way…

Let me show you them.  Results Link. Looks about right to me.  I enjoyed Rover.  I find it interesting to look at the curves to see which games were the most polarizing. Yon Astounding Castle was very polarizing. Everyone hates the Hangover. I actually wanted to make the ceremony on MUD but I was, I…

The new Call of Duty is out so this is a perfect time for me to talk briefly about Chrono Trigger. This doesn’t come completely out of nowhere: really, rather than focus my own thoughts on the game for now I’m just linking some things I found recently that proved interesting. This is a recent…

This was my first time reviewing IF Comp games. I’m happy that anyone can do it and I’d like to thank the community for giving me a nice welcome and tips on IF MUD although I’d never participated before.  Typically I am more on the sidelines with this community. I’m couching my roundup statement less…

This is the last of the games!  Review begins with spoilers. I felt like I wasn’t going to like this game at first for two reasons: one, the title didn’t grab me (yeah another lame title that says nothing), and, two, when I initially start the game, this guy, who turns out to be my…

Running this one on Parchment and, since I can’t save with this method (computer issues), I hope there are not a lot of swift deaths. I took notes while I was playing this so the review may seem more stream of consciousness than some of my others. It took me about an hour-thirty to play.…
