monkey island 1 special edition

MONKEY ISLAND 1 SPECIAL EDITION
 Ahh lucas art what can't they do?
This little gem i hardly think any retro gamer haven't played or seen before if like me it was years and years ago here is the basic story, Your name is guy brush "derp" wood mighty "wannabee" pirate. You are on an island populated with pirates and circus folks for a quest to become the mighty'es pirate in the whole world..... Or well and to go to monkey island and save some chick but who cares about that par...

This is a remastered version of the game with much improved graphics and even voice cast but fear not you can still play it in it's original form that god...Lucas art intended to even if you do chose to play in the "hd" format they still keep it nice and moneyislandic like you expected.
Even thou this is a fairly easy game in point and click standar you can still get stuck on places and when you do in this improved version of the game you have this nifty little "tip" button that helps a lot and well.... I used it a lot the first time i played this game :/.

Even thou this is a brilliant gem of the 7seas it like all other games has some issues,
for instance the rubber chicken is not as rubbery as it was back in the 80s and the grog is hardly as smelly but if you can look past thees major issues about in game items then you should not have any problems at all to love this game dearly "use a rubber thou" for many years to come.

in my opinion this is a game for ANY gamer and none gamer to give a try, the price-tag on the game is only 9€ from Steam so do not miss this foul smelling grog drinking pirate of a game.

My rating is 8.5/10

Also beware of lechuck he will eat your brains

castlevania symphony of the night

 CASTLEVANIA SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT

 Of it's time this was something totaly unique in the castlevania and gaming world, a game that more resembled the classic game metroid on the nes/supernes. The gameplay was not like any other castlevania game at the time.
For starters you did not play as a belmond as you had previous  done "exception for castlevania 3 where you could play as other characters" you play a halfbreed vampire with the name of alucard "Draculas son"

As expected from a vampire you have some unique ability's like turning in to a bat mists or even a wolf and you have a large variation of spells, Beside from that this was the first castlevania where you had a inventory "beside from castlevania 2" and a huge variation of different armors weapons and more, this was also the first castlevania that had a deeper rpg element, the first rpg elements in the castlevania series was in the second installment castlevania 2.

my basic impression of this game is that is one of the best made castlevania even to this day and for a rpg,castlevania or even a gaming fan what so ever this is a golden pick and one of the best made games ever.

tho like all other games this games has flaws for instance, like in metroid it is easy to get stuck and not knowing where to go next. the spells you can use is on a trail and error basis. and the redicules overpowered shield rod "if you know how to use it"

but all in all this is one of the best made games ever made to this date and i give it a:
9/10

Also the voice casting is funny as shit..
This is a Ps1 original but you can get it with the Xbox live network for a low price, i recomend you at least try this game, you wont be sorry.

Requests of Games

Hello, this blog became more popular then i've imagined in only one day,
from now on I'll be rewiring games on a daily basis and i'll take requests for any game that you can think of
"in the retro remake oldschool style ofc :)"

Worms Reloaded


Got this game as a gift on steam and costs about 19£ so is this game worth the price or is this game only an other worms 2 clone?

Well the fact is there is a lot that's new in this game that was not in the worms2 clones for example new weapons, new and improved graphic, broken ai's, more multiplayer bugs and lag.. well you get the picture.

I've never seen worms as a hardcore gamers choice becus of it's simplicity even thou there are many games that have similar concept and still does good, Gunbound for instance..
But Worms reloaded lacks a lot of what made the original worms 2 and worms Armageddon so good.. Hearth

worms 2 came out about 11years ago and this "new" worms still looks and feal the same even thou they claim to have new improved hd graphic it still looks the same.

i don't recommend buying this game unless you are a hardcore worms fan i rate it 4.5/10

Ps. might be fun on lan party's when you are drunk ds.

for the sceners the name of the game is:

Worms.Reloaded-SKIDROW

Broken sword

A nice game that came out recently. Broken sword: directors. cut for the pc.
If you played broken sword before on the pc way back you still wanna get this thou!.

It's like 10more hrs of game play BESIDE from the main story so this game is HUGE as it is.

if you do not know this game this is a classic lucasart point and click adventure game kinda like Day of the tentacle or Sam and max but with a more serious tone "even thou it have alot of comical elements"

who can forget the less then brainy police mouu "or how the heck you say it" or the hole digging working becoming a rich man from a tip on a horse you gave him and still you do not get even a thanks only a manhole remove.. this game is not as hard as it use to thou, that might be a plus or a negative deepening on how you see it, there is a "tip" bar you can click if you search for it that gives you hints if you are stuck.

anyways i recommend this game for any one that has even a slight interest in puzzle solving or point and click adventure
i personal rate this game a 8.5/10

for the sceners out there the name of the game is:

Broken.Sword.Shadow.of.the.Templars.The.Directors.Cut-TiNYiSO
