GamingShogunThe Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles – Review (PC)
King Art Games has brought us the prequel to last years point and click adventure game, The Book of Unwritten Tales, aptly named The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles. This prequel focuses primarily on how Nate and the Critter meet up and begin adventuring together. Significantly shorter then the original game, The Critter Chronicles still packs in a lot of humor and solid point and click adventure game play that will make fans of the original game glad they came back for seconds. Having reviewed over thirteen point and click adventure games within the last two years, I…

The Book of Unwritten Tales Review (PC/Steam)
Two things that need to be stated off the top, The Book of Unwritten Tales is a bit silly and it is fun for the whole family. That being said the reason it is fun for the whole family is some of the jokes are visually silly bringing the giggles of the children into play or they are pop culture references that will go right over a kid’s head and smack the adult right in the face. Usually in my reviews you have to wait until the end for final judgement but in this case I wanted to make sure…
Resonance Review (PC/GOG.COM)
I recently reviewed Tiny And Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers which was a great game with a polished and modern stylized look. Resonance on the other hand I appreciate for its rough, old school look that warms my gamer’s heart. It reminds me of the days of Leisure Suit Larry, Space Quest and Alone In The Dark, back when Sierra was creating its point and click legacies. Well I am obviously not the only one who remembers it because xii games and Wadjet Eye Games teamed up to bring this game for gamers by gamers to life in all its old school…
Yesterday – A Review (PC)
I was fortunate enough to get to play the preview for Yesterday and in a very short section of the game I learned it was one of the most twisted point and click games I have ever seen. The characters were disturbed at best, the items you point and clicked together were unusual and it didn’t take long to realize that the subject of who was the “good guys” was blurry at best. And the preview left off at a total “wtf?” moment that had me playing through a few more times to make sure I saw what I thought…
Yesterday Preview (PC)
Yesterday recently came on our radar so it was time to give it a look and see how the company that brought us the Runaway series and The Next Big Thing did when they took on a thriller. Pendulo Studios maintain their excellence in 2D animation with this work though the mood from the opening animation is one of creepiness and occult. After the first animation it plays like a standard puzzle game, introducing the quirks of a couple of likable characters who it is soon revealed have some very unlikable quirks. In New York City, beggars are disappearing one…
