This was one of the first games I played where you were given the freedom to experiment with your surroundings and think ‘outside of the box’. These actions often lead to humorous outcomes and commentary from the game’s characters, and LucasArts ability to poke fun at themselves never got old. Plus, how can you go wrong with a game that consists of both Pirates AND Monkeys!

Day two it was ready for the actual CON to start. We went upstairs to receive our badges and they were very happy to give them to us, we entered the vendor area and started looking around. In my time working for Alienware I had helped create some amazing convention setups, but mainly with pc’s. When I looked over at the Alienware booth this year they had a hummer, that you could sit in the back of and play on, that was kind of cool.

Hard to play and harder to master, Robotron is one of the purest shooters ever made. No fluff in the design and relentless action that still holds up today, you can’t beat Robotron for that fast arcade adrenaline fix.

It was so amazing. It had a great storyline while not sacrificing open-ended game-play, as well as action elements and character-building role-playing as well. The overall presentation was polished, and there were even nice touches of humor and surprising events.

Insult: “You fight like a dairy farmer.”
Comeback: “How appropriate. You fight like a cow.”
How could one NOT like this game?
I’m a puzzle freak and tend to like any game that belongs to this genre. It’s skill based and also involves an element of strategy in it. The art is incredible and the game has kept me hooked on for hours! We recently released a new title for the iPhone and iPad – The Jim and Frank Mysteries-The Blood River Files. Was a combo of puzzles and adventure.

I love the pure simplicity of Galaga. It takes you right back to roots of gaming with its ruthless nature. Your goal: Make it on the highscore table by any means necessary and all you need to worry about is moving left and right and pressing the fire button. I’m far from being considered a ‘master’ of it, but it never fails at reeling me in for a good round or two every now and then. I actually have the arcade machine sitting a few feet away.

What do you get when you put three crazy geeky gamers in a room for an hour, uncommon hilarity. On this week’s OGS our famed editorial writer Umar joined us to talk about everything from Farmville hate to Pokemon love. No gaming subject was too taboo nor were the jokes. I have to say I believe this was our funniest show ever and I will just leave it at that.

It use to be August was the last change to get out and do what you really wanted to do for the summer before school started up again. Today, many of us stay inside because the sun burns. (It really really burns) Good thing the console market knows this and releases a ton of great games for the last summer push.

It’s an old game, but it is one of the first RPGs that felt “modern” to me and really sucked me in.

If I had to pick just one game, however, it would have to be the original Legend of Zelda. By the standards of the day the game world was huge, which made it lots of fun. But what I really loved were all the secrets. Every nook and cranny held yet another hidden item. I’m still a sucker for a good treasure hunt.

First and foremost the haunting music was just perfect for that game. But one of things I like most about it is that they took my memory of the first Metroid and made the game feel even more technical. The way you get to select weapons and the suit layout. The game was perfect.

Our focus is on enhancements based on player feedback. We are in a unique situation where we have the option of catering to our players requests and we want to make sure they are given a game they will enjoy playing. We listen to their feedback, we watch their play patterns, and then we make tiny little adjustments to give them access to parts of the game which have become under used over the years. It’s amazing what a difference a tiny change can make.

Fighters with their unique special moves like The Amazon chomping on an opponent’s head was fantastic for the time, but of course the classic statement “A winner is you” elevates this game beyond others.
