A Day in GMod Tower
Posted on September 3rd, 2010 4 comments
What can I say about GMod Tower? Well, it has a really good effect for being drunk, that’s one thing. Not that I would know anything about being drunk, anyway. But I did spend a sizable amount of time stumbling around aimlessly vomiting on things. Which, for some odd reason, was way more entertaining than it had any right to be.

All 4 One: One 4 Nine released, reviewed
Posted on August 26th, 2010 No comments
It appears that when modder keved tells you when something’s “almost done,” you better listen to him, doggone it, because he’s probably telling the truth. Not any more than twenty days after saying “it’s coming out soon”, keved’s four level campaign One 4 Nine releases onto the unsuspecting public. UPDATE: I actually review it.

Review: Not one but Two Evil Eyes
Posted on August 19th, 2010 3 comments
Valve decided to make Left 4 Dead go the way of Team Fortress last week by way of highlighting some deserving custom campaigns. Two Evil Eyes is the first of these, so I decided to take time out of playing Self-Loathing Mode Iron Man Expert to test out the newish six-level campaign.

Judged: Firearms: Source
Posted on July 26th, 2010 12 comments
I’ll admit that I was a little apprehensive about trying this out. The words “it looks like Counter-Strike!” kept flashing through my mind while I was downloading it. I was never really a fan of those Calls of Modern Duty games, so I figured that if I set my standards low enough no matter what happens I would be pleasantly surprised at the results. Oddly enough, Firearms: Source manages to not only meet my low expectations, but surpass them by far. Beneath the tried and true modern warfare exterior lays a polished and well-executed shooter.

Review: terror lies in wait in Slums 2 Extended
Posted on July 18th, 2010 1 comment
So, Slums 2, then. Grimdark mod is grimdark, basically. It’s been around for a little while, but the extended version was recently released. It’s a collection of linked singleplayer Half-Life 2 maps put together by just two guys, modders Diolator and IceFox, it’s inspired by Silent Hill, Condemned and F.E.A.R., and it promises to be ‘highly detailed, dark and scary. Nothing innovative in gameplay, but still good regular shooter. Try it and see yourself!’ So I did.
