  1. Puzzle Quest 2 – More of the Same but Much Prettier

    Some time ago I man­aged to beat the final boss in “Puzzle Quest 2″, thus fin­ish­ing the game. Just like the pre­vi­ous instal­ment, it is a mix of a puz­zle game and a sim­ple RPG title where every fight or event like open­ing a closed door or pick­ing a lock is por­trayed as a puz­zle solv­ing prob­lem. This time, how­ever, instead of trav­el­ling all over Etheria, you dive deeper and deeper into dun­geons below an ancient citadel located near the small town of Verloren. I am not going to get into the game’s plot as it is com­pletely irrel­e­vant and unwor­thy of mentioning.

  2. Three Reasons You Should Watch and Support “Pioneer One”

    For those of you who do not know what I am talk­ing about – “Pioneer One” is an episodic polit­i­cal fic­tion show deal­ing with the theme of the Cold War and adding a light science-fiction layer to the mix. The sec­ond episode has been released and there is an eas­ily per­ceiv­able improve­ment in qual­ity over the first one, which was inter­est­ing and well made anyway.

  3. Just Look at How Amazing the First “Tron” Was

    I am yet to see “Tron: Legacy” (this week­end prob­a­bly) and my expec­ta­tions are not high. I fore­see the movie as being full of styl­ish eye-candy and doing fine with rudi­men­tary plot and aver­age act­ing. But I can­not wait any­way. After all, I have been long­ing for the sec­ond part in the fran­chise for almost twenty years. Yes, the orig­i­nal was released in 1982 but I did not see it until around 1990.

  4. God, I Think I Started to Hate the Diablo Formula

    Click, missed, click, missed, click, 48 dmg, click, mana potion, con­trol, click, missed, click, 89 dmg… Repeat this pat­tern for end­less hours, mix it with occa­sional con­ver­sa­tions with game char­ac­ters, add a sim­ple trad­ing sys­tem. Ladies and gen­tle­men, meet “Divine Divinity”, a clas­sic fan­tasy hack’n'slash title from 2002 that revealed to me a fright­en­ing truth about my hum­ble per­son: I have started to hate games that offer noth­ing more than hours of mind­less clicking.
