Gothic Universe Edition Current selling price: $9.99 Same thing applies here…I just wanted to talk about the original Gothic. Gothic is…a very mixed bag. Made from the creators of more recent titles such as Arcania and the Risen series, Gothic is a tale about a prisoner thrown into a magical barrier prison on a mission […]

Steamed! – Dungeon Siege Complete
January 9th, 2013 
gunsage Dungeon Siege Complete Current selling price: $17.99 Really I just wanted to highlight the original Dungeon Siege, but hey, the others are cool too. I initially got into DS because of DS2, but I still think the original is my favorite. Why? Because it has a remarkably simple concept that it continuously builds on in […]
Steamed! – ClaDun X2
January 8th, 2013 gunsage ClaDun X2 Current selling price: $11.99 Honestly, this is the only one I feel is overpriced and I’ll explain why right off the bat. Yes, it is Nippon Ichi, but it is very, VERY basic. Maybe that’s a good selling point for some people, but I feel it’s still overpriced all the same. ClaDun X2 […]
Steamed! – BIT.TRIP BEAT
January 7th, 2013 gunsage BIT.TRIP BEAT Current selling price: $4.99 I’ve described this game as Pong on crack. The worst thing about this game is I can’t really say much more about it other than…well, what I just said. It’s simple, yet it really isn’t. Even the trailers don’t do it justice, honestly. Basically it is Pong, but there […]
La-Mulana
December 6th, 2012 gunsage General Overview Is it worth dying, dying, and dying again for a grand action/adventure of epic proportions? That’s what developer Nigoro set out to found out. A remake of the 2005 cult classic, La-Mulana is everything an oldschool action/adventure title should be down to its very core. It also helps that the music is pretty […]
Steamed! – A.R.E.S. – Extinction Agenda
November 28th, 2012 gunsage A.R.E.S. – Extinction Agenda Current selling price: $9.99 A.R.E.S., in my opinion, is best described as Metroid, but feels more like Contra, and has RPG elements. Basically you’re a robot for mankind fighting evil robots against mankind. Yeah, the story gets a little more complicated than that, but really that’s all you need to know. […]
Steamed! – Depths of Peril
November 26th, 2012 gunsage Depths of Peril Current selling price: $14.99 So imagine if the original Diablo was both competitive and timed. That’s Depths of Peril. Granted, saying that alone doesn’t do it justice, but that’s what it is per face value. You represent a leader of a barbarian clan and, throughout the course of a single game, will […]
Steamed! – Diamond Dan
November 13th, 2012 gunsage Diamond Dan Current selling price: $9.99 These days I’m kinda picky about puzzle games. This is strange too, because when I find a puzzle game I really like, I tend to stick with it. Diamond Dan is best described as an action/platformer/puzzle game that also has a strong point gathering element with lots of risk/reward […]
Steamed! – Ys Origin
November 6th, 2012 gunsage Ys Origin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0PNLeQHlQA Current selling price: $19.99 I’m a sucker for pretty much anything with Ys tacked onto it. Ys Origin is a prequel of sorts to the original Book of Ys. It’s pretty fun, has the new Ys engine going for it, and has a lot of really interesting concepts, but is highly repetitive. […]
Steamed! – Jamestown
November 2nd, 2012 gunsage Jamestown Current selling price: $9.99 Normally I hate bullet hell titles. The idea that all oldschool shmups operated on the principle of having a ridiculous amount of bullets on the screen at once is stupid, inaccurate, and has been done to death. This one has a few nice twists, however. Firstly, it’s an alternative history […]
