Age of Empires 2 HD
Age of Empires II is an old game from 1999, and the following year they released the expansion “The Conquerors.” When I got my hands on this game I played it for hours on end; it quickly became my second favorite game (the only one I love more is Chex Quest). But enough about my […]
Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale
Game Review, by Super Searcher Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale is an interesting game to say the least. It’s similar to a Japanese-style RPG-MMO game, but its core element is not fighting monsters. (Even though that is in there.) This game is more about running an item shop (called Recettear), and you sell items that […]

Paper Mario Sticker Star
A Game Review, by Nick Maker I finally played the new paper Mario game and I have to say it was a whole different paper experience. This begs the question, “Nick, did you like this game and should I buy it?” Well, in my honest opinion, it wasn’t the best paper Mario game ever. In all the paper […]

Legend of Grimrock
A Game Review, by Super Searcher “Legend of Grimrock” is a fantasy game. Its gameplay is similar to “Dungeon & Dragons;” in fact, it even gives you an option to play on a blank, white grid. But if you’re not one to play that way, it has a first person view where you walk through […]
