| Combat Mission : Barbarossa to Berlin |
| PC |
on 31 Jul 2010 by Mjarr  |
| A certain Russian poet once said: "Russia cannot be understood with the mind" and considering how huge the landscape is and how many times someone has attempted to conquer it and fail miserably, he probably was highly accurate with his statement. In June 1941 Operation Barbarossa - the largest military operation ever executed in terms of manpower and casualties - began. [read more] |
| Arsenal of Democracy |
| PC |

| Strategists' erotic fantasy, regardless of your skill level. Recommended gadgets when playing: [...] |
| Random boring facts: it's been 70 years and 5 days roughly since the beginning of Fall Gelb (Case Yellow), the invasion of Low Countries by Germany and 11 days from here signals 70th anniversary for Operation Dynamo - the Dunkirk evacuation. While it has nothing got to do with this review directly, one could call it unofficial celebration of the [read more] |
| Castlevania : Symphony of the Night (PS1) |
| on 14 Mar 2010 by Mjarr |
| Whipping Vlad's buttocks has been quite famous and popular thing since the first Castlevania. However, once you get to whip Vlad's arse by his own son - and to the date probably the only game where playing as a vampire is credible - things got just bit more interesting. Of course you could do this already in Castlevania 3 as [read more] |
| Quality gaming - a bomb full of double standards? |
| on 17 Feb 2010 by Mjarr |
| Video game industry has gone through interesting rollercoaster throughout its history. From interesting early home consoles (such as Odyssey) to Atari 2600 and its competitors to the video game crash of 1983 to the rise of NES and early home computers to the modern day buggery of visuals, visuals, visuals and... even more visuals. And maybe new few features, such [read more] |
| Castlevania (N64) |
| on 10 Feb 2010 by Mjarr |
| Castlevania is probably one of the most cherished franchises ever made. Basically after starting its life on the NES in 1987, it became a classic which was somewhat notorious for difficulty and buggering control issues. After Dracula had been beaten too many times by a long haired, leather wearing man with a whip (or his buddies) it kept going on [read more] |
| The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King (PC) |
| on 10 Dec 2009 by Mjarr |
| A week onwards from here, it's the 5-year anniversary since The Return of the King movie was released and to celebrate the occasion early on, I decided to scavenge a copy of action game made by EA following the movie's plot somewhat loosely. But not that it matters, instead of getting a game that would be a raw cash-in I [read more] |
| Killing Floor (PC) |
| on 20 Sep 2009 by Mjarr |
| Since the swineflu is 'rampaging' around and video game zombie renaissance has kicked in by L4D, games based on such events are good practice on how to survive if things get truly rough. Too bad there's just no HUD in real life to check your ammo. Killing Floor started out as an UT2k4 mod, and then one of the original developers [read more] |
| Final Fantasy VIII (PC Version) |
| on 19 Jul 2009 by Mjarr |
| What's common with swords, firearms, magic, monsters, ladies in miniskirts and science fiction? They all fit into epic J-RPG. Final Fantasy series started back in the dark days of NES, then SNES and eventually Sony Playstation. While many FF games are pretty solid, FF7 certainly stood out in 1997. While still simple J-RPG in terms of gameplay mechanics, story about dystopian [read more] |
| Medal of Honor : Allied Assault (PC) |
| on 10 Jul 2009 by Mjarr |
| The World War II has been as popular in the long run as Michael Jackson's records lately: it skyrockets through the roof and into space. Sometimes it is good question how come some event where one country zergrushes one country after another until someone makes anti-rush tactics and steamrolls the opponent eventually can be so popular, but we're not here [read more] |
| IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 (PC) |
| on 11 May 2009 by Mjarr |
| September 23rd, 1941. Early in the morning, we were set on an assignment to sink Russian battleship Marat. The Staffel was led by future ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel. After leaving the airfield with minor fighter escort, I was enjoying the nice view of the Russian soil. Soon I heard from the radio "ETA 5 minutes to the target." and I was thrilled. [read more] |
