Radiant Review

Today we are going to be taking a look into a game I had found on the Windows 8 App store and is free to download. If you are a fan of the old space invaders series then this might be a blast from the past to you. With colorful graphics and catchy music this game can entertain not just you but the whole family. The easy to use controls allows for almost every too play this game with a mouse or a touch screen. If you have a kid and you want to find a child friendly game then this game is for you.  If you want to know more on this game, or just want to download it, then click the link below.

Twitch Plays Pokemon

Over the past week there has been a wide event taking place over at Twitch.tv called “Twitch Plays Pokémon”, or “TPP” for short. It is an online play-through of one of the classic Gameboy games “Pokémon Red”. But it’s not just one group of friends playing the game and commenting on it. Twitch Plays Pokémon is literally 70+ thousand viewers including you if you watch it, playing through this game using only commands that you typed out on your keyboard. TPP takes the concept of a thousand monkeys in a room full of typewriters, and replaces the typewriters with one Pokémon game. The results may actually surprise you.

Glass Tower World Review (Google Play)

While browsing the Google Play sore I came across this game called Glass Tower World. At first glance it looked like a pretty straightforward and interesting game. With a bright and colorful background and a simple concept this game was proving to be more interesting by the minutes. However, you should never judge a book by its cover, and this is a good example of why that is a true statement. So let’s dive into the world of Glass Tower World and take a look at why this games cover shouldn’t be taken judged for the better, but for the worst.

FAMAZE Review

While browsing One More Level found an interesting looking game that almost reminded me of the NES days called FAMAZE. Interesting name aside, this is a free to play game that was designed by what I would assume to be a company, but could also just be an artist who wanted to do something different. This game was created using the 16-bit Fantasy sprite set which was created by the same people who made the game. You can buy this set for $40 on the company’s website.

The story of the game is as follows: “The mad king has turned the happy rutabagas of the land into monsters and is searching for the magic recipe for royal Rutabaga Pudding. You must delve into the kind's domain to rescue the rutabagas, find the gem of truth, and uncover the recipe before the king eats everyone.” Other than it seeming to be a silly story, it’s a pretty simple goal, collect these items and get from point A to point B with no problems. You can only choose one difficulty when you start the game which is easy mode, but once you beat the game you can choose expert mode which will challenge your skills that you have learned throughout the first play through.

Goldeneye Source Review

Do you remember the good old days of the Nintendo 64? It was a classic 64-bit system that seemed to be revolutionary in the gaming market not just for its library of games but the new concept of 3D Graphics. However, there is one game I remember the most on the Nintendo 64, and that was 007 Goldeneye. This was one of my favorite first person shooters of that time next to doom. It was a breath of fresh air with a whole new concept for the genre, but what I remember the most about it was the constant hours of fun with the multiplayer mode that me and my brother had. Although we had a lot of fun with the classic version of the game, one problem I soon found out is that the graphics and the controls didn’t age well. But that is okay, because a couple years ago I was told about a half-life 2 mod that actually was a HD remake of the Goldeneye game, and that’s what we will be looking into today. So this video is for those who have a copy of half-life 2 but don’t know what to do with it after beating it.
