Tentagil’s Realm

Zombies, gotta love them.  And lately those always lovable rotting denizens of the undead have been eating up a good chunk of my time courtesy of Playforge’s game Zombie Farm.

It’s an odd concept really, possibly inspired a bit by the hit Plants vs Zombies which I reviewed awhile back.  Essentially you’re a farmer growing a [...]

I am a child of the eighties, and I’m male, ergo I love Transformers.  Now being a kid of the eighties the fact I love giant robots is a given.  We were flooded with Japanese imports in those days.  Voltron, Robotech, and dozens of other seventies giant robot anime were being dubbed and broadcast for [...]

I’ve always been a fan of strategy games, especially turn based games.  As fun as an RTS can be I often prefer the more relaxed tactical game play of turn based fare.  More chess style tactics and less zerg rushing.  Your forced to use more thought in your choices and far less twitch.  As I’ve [...]

With the release of Prince of Persia the Sands of Time in theaters everyone knew it wouldn’t be long before a video game tie-in was released.  Which makes Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands a unique creature.  It’s a game based on a movie based on a game.  As such it has quite a stigma [...]

Alpha Protocol is an ambitious game.  Like many developed these days it doesn’t fit a single genre classification.  It’s a fusion, mixing RPG elements, third person shooter action, and stealth gameplay.  Set in the modern world of secret government agencies it foregoes all the fantastical elements of elves and aliens, instead enrobing the player in [...]

In preparation for God of War 3′s release I decided to pickup and replay the first two games.  So seeing as they’d released a Special Edition HD upgrade for the PS3 with both titles included I figured it was the perfect choice.   So far I’ve only had time to get through the first game, so [...]

Though its nearly a year old at this point I finally managed to pick up and start playing Dragon Age.  I’d been burnt out on the High Fantasy genre which is the primary reason I waited on it.  But having loved Mass Effect and its sequel I decided it was time I give Bioware’s other [...]

For years developers have been touting their games as interactive movies  From the full motion video romps of the mid nineties to the near photo realistic 3d action adventure games of today the games look good, they have that cinematic style, but for the most part there has always been an obvious disconnect between the [...]

I’m a fan of tower defense games.  They are so deceptively simple in concept yet capable of being incredibly deep in strategy and tactics when well made.  My latest addiction is Popcap’s Planets vs Zombies.  Specifically the iPhone version.

The game was originally released for PC and Mac back in May of 2009 and I was [...]

Nearly two years ago I found myself pulled into Bioware’s incredible Sci Fi RPG Mass Effect.  I first played it on the PC, and then because I loved the game so much a year ago when I finally broke down and bought an Xbox 360 I went ahead and bought the game again to experience [...]
