DeathSpank: The Baconing – Continuing Thoughts

Posted on January 2, 2012 by Lisa

I’m really not sure about The Baconing anymore.  It’s not that it’s terrible, or even bad.  I just think either the idea is worn out, or perhaps this instalment doesn’t quite meet the higher standards of the first two. Don’t … Continue reading →

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Lisa

WordPress doesn’t seem to like me today.  This is my fourth attempt at this article. Ok, we all know that Skyrim can be silly at times.  Even  downright hilarious when it’s not trying to be.  I thought I’d share a … Continue reading →

Space Giraffe

Posted on November 27, 2011 by Lisa

Let’s be honest, I suck at playing straight shoot-em-up games.  So most of them bore me after a while. Or depress me.  Probably that last one, really. However there’s one coder who has almost consistently produced shooters that I enjoy, … Continue reading →

Alice – Madness Returns

Posted on November 24, 2011 by Lisa

I’ve really enjoyed those games in which American McGee has had some kind of creative input.  Even when the games are somewhat simplistic, or derivative in style, it’s the atmosphere that gets me every time.  It was the this atmosphere … Continue reading →
