100% Orange Juice

majer63 1 Comment , ,

  100% Orange Juice, a board game on Steam filled with so much randomness that it would make random crit haters cry tears of blood. Starting off, this game is filled with many characters, many of whom come from other games. Some are original to this game, while others come from different games from the same company, such as the Suguri series, Flying Red Barrel, and QP Shooting. When you first start off on your magical adventure, you can choose one of four starting characters: QP, Suguri, Marc, or Kai. Each of them has their strengths and weaknesses, but I’d… [Continue Reading]

Looking at Elder Scrolls Online

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

In this video, we’re playing Elder Scrolls Online, the MMO based in the second era of the Elder Scrolls universe, a long time before the events of Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. Molag Bal, the daedric prince of domination and incredibly nasty things, is tag-teaming with Mannimarco, a necromancer, to merge the real world, Tamriel, with his own realm, Cold Harbor. You are one of many people sacrificed in their attempts to do this, but through sheer luck, you get saved during a rebellion and find a way back to Tamriel… without your soul. The story follows you throughout a gigantic… [Continue Reading]

Review of Costume Quest 2

LordNightraven 0 Comments , , ,

So I recently came across Costume Quest 2 as a result of Xbox Live Games with Gold (Free for Gold Members May 16 of 2016) It’s an RPG based on saving Halloween from a dentist. A bit of a cliche theme, but it adds a few elements that change it up a bit to make for a decent overall game. It’s a fairly short game. I managed to complete most of it within 5 hours, and that was with taking the time to complete a number of the side quests. I probably could have gotten all of them completed with… [Continue Reading]

Contest Entry: Unturned (by Bacxaber)

Bacxaber 2 Comments , , , , , , , ,

Unturned is a zombie survival game where the player must aquire food/water, armour, weapons and supplies to craft things. The game was immediately appealing to me, given that it reminded me of the Blockhead series in terms of style. I was quite upset to learn about the food/water meters, as I find myself unable to enjoy my time playing such games whilst I have those problems constantly looming over my head. That said, I see why it’s there. There wouldn’t be much point to the game otherwise. You start off completely naked (literally, you don’t have pants) and you can… [Continue Reading]

Mount & Blade: Warband – I Just Can’t Wait to be King

Stache 0 Comments , , , ,

During last year’s Steam Winter Sale, there was a intriguing game with a mind-boggling proportion of positive reviews, many clocking over a thousand hours of play and telling epic and absurd stories of gameplay. I went and bought the series without a second thought. It was pretty cheap, after all. And then I…didn’t touch it. Left it to gather dust in my Library. This little contest allowed me to redeem myself. The Mount & Blade franchise is made of the titular Mount & Blade, Mount & Blade: Warband, which is pretty much the finished, updated version of the original, its… [Continue Reading]

Secrets of Rætikon Review (RRR)

SilverWolf 1 Comment , ,

In “Secrets of Rætikon”, (Ra-tih-kon, apparently, before you ask.) you play as this little feathered guy. (He’s hiding in the screenshot.) You traverse the world through flight and subtle tutorial messages as you search for small triangular pieces. These are used in conjunction with towers. providing you, for a nominal fee, of course, with Shards. They are the crucial pieces of the game, serving as keys to unlocking what I presume to be a vault. The game is, for the most part, calm and charming. But the fight for survival is still very much a part of the game with… [Continue Reading]

Spractured Face

DapperApples 0 Comments , , , ,

Fractured Space is a 5v5 team based space capital ship battle game with vague MOBA influences.  Its also an “early access” game (ew).  Normally the game runs for 10 US Bucks, plus micro transactions, but there was a sale a few months ago where the game could be gotten for free, permanently.  So naturally I got it and proceeded to never actually install it, much less play it.  Until Today… The game’s progression follows a World of Tanks sort of model.  You get tech points when you use a ship, and you spend those points on a tech tree to… [Continue Reading]

Overlord – It’s Good to be Bad

Stache 0 Comments , , ,

Once upon a time, there was a fantastic land plagued with a great evil. People lived in fear of the Overlord. But seven valiant heroes set out to defeat him, ultimately succeeding in slaying the malevolent being and destroying his tower. And everyone lived happily ever after…for a couple years; evil always finds a way, and that’s where you come into play. In the dark depths of the tower’s dungeon, you are revived, pulled out of your coffin in the dark depths of the tower’s dungeon, shoved into a suit of armor, and summarily crowned as the new Overlord by the Minions, little… [Continue Reading]

Riveting Reviews of Randomness – WINNERS!

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I wouldn’t call Riveting Reviews of Randomness a huge success, but it’s definitely been fun, and the handful of reviews we’ve received have been pretty good. Well written. With pictures, just like I asked. We’ve got a week’s worth of articles thanks to you lot! It has been a pleasant change, playing games that we’ve been meaning to try for ages and perhaps clearing off our backlog. I still have a ton of unplayed games, but Dino D-Day was a pleasant change of pace and aabicus now feels far less guilty about not playing Lakeview Cabin Collection. Enough talking, you… [Continue Reading]

Review Lakeview Cabin Collection

aabicus 0 Comments ,

(Heads up, Minecraft-graphics nudity and sexual content in the screenshots) I can’t believe it took me an entire half-year to finally play this game Dapper Apples got me for Christmas. It’d been on my radar since playing the original flash game, as the author showed he was more than capable of migrating the unique ontological sandbox horror gameplay into newer, larger settings. Lakeview Cabin Collection lives up to the model of its predecessor while expanding greatly on the player’s options; framing itself as a series of horror films, each episode traps 4 characters in a classic horror setting and the… [Continue Reading]
