Princess Peach, in all her glory. I never did save her. She isn’t even in the original mario game I played. We had the simple (Not super) Mario Bro’s that was more like a mini game than the full blown platforming experience that everyone relates to Mario now. We had it on our Atari ST…
You can now buy this as a print! I opted to go with the “Twilight Princess” version of Zelda, as it sort of just felt the most familiar, even though I had never played that one. Back when we were kids me and my mate Jonathan would scrounge through the rubbish people left out on…
Alyx was one of the first characters I remember hugging the main character, or interacting with the camera. Before that the most interaction you got was people staring at you while waggling their mouth up and down, and getting shot at. I got Half Life 2 in Thailand at their version of The Humble Bundle,…
Tap for full size You can now get this as a print! I got Mass Effect 2 on the Holiday Steam Sale. I played through the first one yonks ago. I lent the CD to my friend and he promptly went to Australia with it. I was a bit gutted with the game because I…
For me, Kerrigan, Queen of Blades was the face of bad ass RTS games of my childhood. Although my brothers managed to get Warcraft 2 running on our DOS machine Starcraft never really made it into our house. I’m not sure why. My brother used to go to Dick Smiths (an electronics store) and play…
Elizabeth made quite a splash when Infinite came out. Even so much so that her creator told people to cut out the whole Rule 34 stuff out. Which, as a DM, I can tell you that tell you that telling the internet to stop doing something is like using your charisma and diplomacy check to…
Catherine & Katherine, from Catherine… Kind of annoying there but oh well. If you don’t remember it, this is that adult japanese puzzle game that caused a bunch of ripples here in the west because it was just so weird. Remember the big deal people made out of that one hidden scene “Hot Coffee”…
I haven’t played this one yet. I’m saving it for when we finish The Last Of Us. Juno, as I colloquially call every single character that Ellen Page plays looks pretty plain in this game. In terms of costume design and everything it’s all rather subdued. I guess I’ve been spoiled by all the crazy…
I’m putting it out there. I like this game. I’m glad I dropped the 25 bucks on it on Steam. I got the new Tomb Raider at the same time for 10 bucks. A bit weird that a newer game that has had way more air time is selling so much cheaper. Hope I didn’t…
Chell was one of those surprise female leads. It didn’t make a big deal out of it, it just let you naturally assume you were playing a dude until you managed to get a look at yourself in one of the portals. Portal was a very natural feeling game in the way it introduced everything.…
