Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is the fourteenth or fifteenth Traveller’s Tale Lego game, depending on how you want to count The Lego Movie Videogame. I’ve actually played every single Lego game up to this point, with the exception of Lego Star Wars 3. Something about these games speaks to me. Whether it be the gamification of Legos, or the Legoification of movies, or just the simplistic gameplay to see what might happen next, I’m there. So let’s see if Lego can keep this train running after all these titles.

E3 2018: Day Two

Aside Kinglink1 Comment

So Day 2 arrived, instead of an 11 o’clock start time, it was now a 9:00 start time. That’s two fewer hours of potential sleep. Yet there I was at 8:40 ready to tackle the second day. I knew I had to do either Nintendo’s booth first or Kingdom Hearts 3. I chose Nintendo’s and […]

Aside KinglinkLeave a comment

So on Tuesday, I mentioned I was going to E3, and I posted a number of tweets about the games I saw, but I figured 280 characters weren’t enough to talk about some games, and I would collect some opinions in a post. When everyone was lining up, I looked around and noticed a face […]

Grow Up is a sequel to one of the surprise hits I’ve played, which was called Grow Home. I played Grow Home on the PS3 and have been wanting to play Grow Up for a couple of years. I picked it up at some point last year, and for some reason let it linger in my virtual pile of unplayed games. Well, I’ve fixed that, and finally am ready to review it.

I wrote a review of Cook, Serve, Delicious! about two months ago. I found the game to be very fun, but it had one massive flaw. I thought that the sequel that I had played for an hour was better than that original game was in every way… well, maybe I oversold it. I now have put in 9 hours into the sequel and, well, let’s see if it really is better.

Alien: Isolation Review

I have no idea why I played this. I’m not a huge Aliens fan, in fact, the only movies I’ve seen are Aliens 3 and Alien Resurrection. I just loathe horror in all its forms. So clearly I’m not the target audience for Alien: Isolation, yet I own it, I wanted to see how it accomplishes its scares, and so I gave it a shot.
