Lost Horizon

He almost dyed!.... Get it?... No?... oh.

Fantastic adventure games have suddenly become hard to come by. Usually, all you had to do to acquire one was to look upon the "PC Games" isle at a local, inconspicuous department store. Rare and precious, like rectangular-shaped gems, these little boxes hid amongst the many other "regular titles" that you'd grown to ignore. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Upon visiting the desperately out-dated "PC Games" isle, the most you'll find is a brand new copy of Norton Anti-Virus 2002 or one of those ridiculously stupid hidden object titles that I will always continue to refuse as real adventure games for as long as they exist. Considering that the base mechanic of hidden objects titles is an exploitation of a problem that plagues adventure games, I can only concur that anyone who enjoys playing them also enjoys watching paint dry. To my delight, however, Lost Horizon was not one of those horrible abominations associated with the genre of adventure gaming... or a cleverly repackaged Norton Anti-Virus 2002 CD. Lost Horizon, was actually, in many ways, the great real adventure game I had wanted for a long time.

Fable III?

Hmm.... Looks interesting, but I'm still not biting. I refuse to believe that this will be awesome solely because of Peter Molyneux's involvement. However, it would be nice to have a good singleplayer game to absorb my attention for a while.

Want a Vindictus Early Access Open Beta Key?

Leave a comment with your email address below on why you think you should get the key. Depending on a couple factors, I'll decide when the competition ends, so don't hesitate to leave a comment for a chance to get into Vindictus. I might have some more keys on the way, but right now I only have one available to me. Stay tuned for more information and good luck!

Edit: Because I would feel really bad choosing one person over another, especially seeing as I have been in the position many times of trying really hard to get a beta key, I have decided that the winner will be chosen by random. Congrats to the winner, and I'm sorry to you guys that didn't win.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent Review

It's been such a long time, perhaps a week or so, since the release of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I have to say, I feel quite disappointed in myself for not posting a review sooner, but with school starting, it's hard to keep myself writing back on here. Nonetheless, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a game that is truly deserving of a good review. While I'm not entirely sure my writing skill is at the point where I can convey my thoughts the way that they appear in my delusional mind, there is just too much good to be said about this game. Here goes:

That's one heck of a wishing well.
