VGR HλLF-LIFE 2

The second game in this cult classic series.

Some call the first Half-Life one of the defining titles in the FPS genre. Six years after the original, Half-Life 2 did it all over again!

 

Eyz reviews Valve Software's iconic titles:

HλLF-LIFE/Opposing Force/Blue Shift

VGR HλLF-LIFE

By now, every gamer out there knows and already has an opinion on this cult classic.

But allow me to review it for the sake of having the original Half-Life up here reviewed on my blog!

VGR Leisure Suit Larry 1

Since I just recently finished playing through the Kickstarter-financed Reload remake recently, here's a review of the original!

A "graphic" adventure game that took its title a bit too literally.

Don't worry, it's all played for laughs, it's just a parody!

VGR Nakatomi Plaza

It's time to go back to the Nakatomi Tower.

This time from a First Person Shooter's point of view!

Pic of the day - Tim Schafer and Al Lowe

Here's something epic!
Mario & Sonic together at last-level of epic.

It's Tim Schafer (from LucasArts' classic Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, etc.) and Al Lowe (From Sierra's classic Leisure Suit Larry, Freddy Pharkas,..) next to each other!

Photo taken at this year's DICE 2012. (a game developer expo)

Both adventure games legends finally met while while filming an episode of The Bonus Round today.

Tim's doing pretty okay at the moment, at Double Fine. What with raising money for a brand new modern point & click game and going to finally produce a sequel to Psychonauts.

Meanwhile, Al Lowe's still trying to finish his adventure game Sam Suede and his currently overlooking the remakes of the Leisure Suit Larry games.

Blog post - windows 7 and oldies

WOOohoo! I'm running Urban Runner on Windows 7!!



I'm just glad I'm still able to play these retro games, new computer or not!
(of course it gets a bit tricky some times, but I'm well used to make these darn' old things work!)

Adventure Gaming

Here's the post in which I talk A LOT about the adventure genre.

Sure, adventure games seem to be coming back lately, with the LucasArts remakes and Telltale Games Studio's success...
But they've never really been away. It's indie studios like Autumn Moon (ex-LucasArts' Bill Tiller), Revolution Software (Broken Sword series) & Péndulo Studios (Runaway series) that kept the flame alive during the whole 2000s while nobody wanted to make these games anymore.

Adventure games. Be it Point-and-clicks or not.
The genre is often misattributed to games like Tomb Raider or Uncharted, for exemple.
I prefer to call those action games, platformers or even action-adventure.

No, those ain't real adventure games.

 

You fight like a guy who's trying to explain me how adventure games were and how they ended up today!

The adventure genre grew up side by side with what we call now RPGs.

While the consoles had games like Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy and many more 8-bit RPGs, home computers developed a parallel genre, less action-based since the controllers were keyboards (and later, mouses) and much more story driven.

VGR Predator: Concrete Jungle

Here's...a surprise, I guess.
You weren't expecting this one, right? :P

After doing all those Predator movie reviews, I was going to move on some Predator comics...but thought, hey! why not check out one of the few Predator games available~
