    Yet another great PS+ release this month, this time the updated version of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, called New ‘n’ Tasty. Abe’s Oddysee was one of my favorite PS1 games, and I even played it again 3-4 years ago on PSP. How’s this update? Fantastic. This is more than just a simple HD upgrade, as it…

    Even though I’ve played a few of them, I was never really that into the Tony Hawk games – or even the Skate series, which I admittedly liked better, the first one – but I was interested to play the first OlliOlli when it came out, as the 2D gameplay looked refreshing. I never got…

    Just take a look at the screenshot above. This game has such a fantastic look to it, and the greek/roman history geek in me just can’t get enough of it. In terms of gameplay, it did take some to get used to it – at first I didn’t really like the way the character controlled,…

    I’ll start by saying what I didn’t really like about this game, and that’s that the dialogue can be a bit too teens-of-today for my taste, but man, I sure enjoyed being in this world, and playing through this first episode. The visuals have a really nice feel to them – there’s a great painterly…

    Grim Fandango is quite possibly my favorite LucasArts games, and on top of that, one of my favorite games of all time. I was so happy when it was announced that they were going to do a “remastered” version, and I’m also incredibly happy that Day of the Tentacle will be next (and come on,…

    As expected, this is one of the better looking games on PS4, and although I’ve never been to Seattle, the one I’m experiencing in this game feels real enough. The gameplay itself is fun, and I liked zooming around the city in light form, as well as the combat I’ve experienced (I’ve really just played…

    I’d heard good things about this game when it came out on PC, and was looking forward to its PS4 release. I was of course quite happy to see it included in the latest batch of PS+ offerings, and having played a bit of it, I can agree with the general consensus that this is…

    This was one of the games offered through PS+ in December (I think you can still download it, until next week’s update), and it was something I was looking forward to trying, if only because of the cool western aesthetics – I’m not much of an arena battler kinda guy. The thing I find the…

    I’d been looking forward to this coming out on PS4 and Vita – I’d played a bit of it on my laptop a while back – and my first impression was that I couldn’t stand what they did with the aesthetics on the console version. I’ve been told that they were going for some sort…

    That was such a disappointment. I was actually pretty excited to play this – and did so on both PS3 and Vita – as I thought it would be a great looking arcade game to play here and there. It does indeed look great, and I love the music too, but either I’m really bad…
