Retro Dose #21 - Clock Tower
In todays Retro Dose we talk about the good old Clock Tower - a game that has popularized survival horrors based on hiding instead of shooting.Since I'm in a horror mood last couple of days I remembered one game that made me hide under a blanket at night, so I'd like to point out a retro gem. I present to you - Clock Tower , for its time a unique point-and-click survival horror for SNES , and a couple of years later for PSX . Yes, point-and-click, you have read well. Use the controller to move the cursor and scroll through
Blackwood Crossing Review
Blackwood Crossing left a bad first impression on me. You start by waking up mid-train ride to the voice of the main character, Finn. Being honest, I really disliked Finn the first time I met him. His voice was muffled behind closed doors and it sounded like he was peaking the microphone when he started shouting. This was short lived however, as I warmed up to Finn very quickly. The atmosphere is very bright and sets off a nice tone from the get go, as you proceed to walk through an extremely detailed and vibrant environment, Finn would like you to
Retro Dose #20 - Parasite Eve
In this Retro Dose we remember one Christmas Eve and parasites whom we met in the PSX classic Parasite Eve.Parasite Eve was released in 1998., developed by Squaresoft for PSX, headed by none other than Uncle Hironobu Sakaguchi known for Final Fantasy . This leads to the conclusion that this is a RPG in some sort but in the survival horror flair. It does not sound to you like a warm, festive story? It might not be one of those traditional ones, but Parasite Eve took place at Christmas in the snowy streets of New York.The whole thing started when a young cop
Half-Life 3 wouldn't conclude the story of the series
Screenwriter who worked on the story for never released third episode of Half Life 2 said that this game would also ended on a cliffhanger.One of the reasons why everyone awaits the return of the Half-Life series and the arrival of Half Life 3 is because the story of Gordon Freeman and his companion Alyx Vance was abruptly halted after three chapters. In addition to expectations that the next Half-Life will be the best game ever, fans expect the continuation of the story that has a lot of open questions.However, ten years later, it is clear that Half-Life 3 is not
Retro Dose #19 - The Sims
Today we are remembering the second best-selling PC game of all time that marked the world of simulation and infatuated our mothers, sisters, girlfriends, or even ourselves because of the surreal level of entertainment that it provided.When you think about it, the goal of almost every game is to show a segment of the living world, real or imaginary, and you try to make it credible, virtually sustainable and somewhat more realistic. Many games tried to convey the experience of life in the real world, but none of the series came close to the detailed level as The Sims series, whose

Honestly, Path of Exile (especially with everything they’ve done leading into PoE 2) deserves a top spot on this list. The dark, gritty art style is incredible, and the lighting engine alone is a masterpiece. When you're running through a damp, dimly lit dungeon and your skills light up the entire screen with realistic shadows and reflections, it looks better than most modern triple-A games.
The only downside to the game looking this beautiful is that when your build gets chaotic and the screen fills up with hundreds of exploding monsters, it can get incredibly intense. To actually survive those gorgeous, high-density maps without constantly dying, you need a seriously optimized character.
That’s why so many players, myself included, eventually look to buy Path of Exile items or high-tier gear on trade markets just to get our defenses up. Having the right build lets you actually appreciate how incredible the game looks at max settings instead of staring at a 'You Have Died' screen every two minutes though
