Much like Doom 2 is to Doom, this isn’t much more than a new mission
pack for Wolfenstein 3D. But that certainly isn’t a bad thing - it just
doesn’t give me as much to talk about as in my other reviews. It’s quite
challenging on higher difficulties, the graphics are nice, and there’s
plenty of nazi scum to turn into hamburger meat with your guns -
including some cool new bosses! There’s also some new textures and
graphics in use for this one, so they did put forth the effort to add
some new visual flair to the game.
One annoying change
from Wolfenstein 3D (The Xbox One version, atleast) is that now when you
rub against any wall while moving around, it makes a strange noise,
which I found to be a rather irritating design choice. I like to listen
to music while playing these games, and it especially helps in this case
to drown out that strange sound effect.
Another
interesting addition is that the themes of supernatural horror from the
first game get amped up in this one - I won’t spoil how, but it was
quite a cool surprise for me at the end of the game!
Lastly,
this is an older game and you thankfully won’t have to worry about any
sleazy DRM software, even if you’re playing it on steam (which is good
as physical copies of the game can be somewhat pricey). When playing on a
modern computer, I recommend getting the source port “ecwolf” to help
bring the game up to more modern standards.

This one is highly recommended! you take control of Stanley, and set out to discover what is happening at your office, with the trusty narrator at your side. Things get interesting when you realize that you can screw around in all sorts of ways, resulting in anything from a happy ending to surreal hilarity to your own tragic demise. Your narrator will do his best to help you along, but he can also only take so much of your bumbling... Pros Brilliant voice acting Hilarious, clever, brutally honest narration Well-made visuals and audio, highly immersive The Adventure Line! The demo is actually an entirely separate story of its own. that's pretty awesome. Give it a try too! Cons None that I can think of, unless you count running out of endings to discover. 2023 Additions: Since I wrote this review, the game has received updates and even been ported to Xbox One! So thankfully, you are no longer restricted to steam for playing this great little game. Someday, I want to sit d...
Dead Space is a survival horror game set in - you guessed it - space! Specifically, the USG Ishimura. You'll follow protagonist Isaac Clarke as what started as a an attempt to fix up a spacecraft turns into an wonderful example of "everything that can go wrong definitely will". The story takes several twists and turns and you'll even get to venture beyond the game's central location a few times! As usual, I won't go too deep into the story because I'd like you to be able to experience it for yourself if you've never played the game! I quite it enjoyed it though, and the game created a good sense of isolated fear while also making me concerned for the safety of Isaac's few surviving crew-mates throughout the game. The combat is very intense as most of the creatures you'll encounter move in a very violent and erratic manners, and you'll want to target their weak points - usually the limbs. Thankfully, the game has a cool upgra...
