Review: Organ Trail: Director’s Cut – Zombies and dysentery, a winning combination

Backlog Quest: Day 31 – Homefront

Dear Journal, Today I kicked some North Korean ass. Homefront is one of those games that is an awesome idea with mixed execution.  In a near future where North Korea has had a series of “lucky breaks” and the US has had a series of misfortunes resulting in a new super power and an occupied America.  You play as a […]

Backlog Quest: Day 30 – Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes

Dear Journal, Today I found out that even Jedi Knights can be totally un-cool. Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes is a video game with three titles and only one camera angle. A mix between platforming and third person shooter, Republic Heroes never manages to really nail either one. The game takes place between the events of seasons […]

Backlog Quest: Day 29 – Rogue Warrior – Just really f’n bad

Dear Journal, Today I drove around in cars that are self aware, which is kind of creepy if you think about it too much. Cars 2 is another “kart style racer” in the spirit of Mario Kart (not the first one to be reviewed during Backlog Quest).  Though obviously, rather than “go-karts” the characters are themselves the cars this time […]

Backlog Quest: Day 27 – Civil War: Secret Missions

Dear Journal, Today I took part in a series of covert operations meant to turn the tide in America’s Civil War. Civil War: Secret Missions is one of many churned out FPS titles to bear a History Channel logo on it.  The game places you in the uniforms of soldiers in both The North and The South, in missions where […]
