Steamed! – ClaDun X2

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! – A.R.E.S. – Extinction Agenda

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

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 […]

My Thoughts On Earthbound

Earthbound. A game that for many is a fond, but distant memory. A game that did so much and (used to) receive so little recognition. A game that upon a distant glance doesn’t look like its anything special, but provides a fun, deep, and rewarding experience. Earthbound is one of the best SNES RPGs in […]

Steamed! – Diamond Dan

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 […]

Torchlight 2

General Overview I’ve been wanting to review this one for a while, but never felt like I had enough content to do so. I’ve beaten the game…and I still feel this way. If anything, this speaks volumes about the magnitude of ridiculous content stuffed into this package. If you enjoyed anything at all about the […]

Steamed! – The Binding of Isaac

The Binding of Isaac Current selling price: $4.99 Initially I wasn’t sure what to think about this one. Now…well, I’m not sure what to say. As a game, it’s really damn good. It’s a Zelda-esque rogue-like that has all kinds of fantastic elements and a steep ass difficulty. However, it’s also incredibly fucking disturbing and […]

Steamed! – American Mensa Academy

Hey everybody, it’s Gun Sage. I saw the different iPhone quick posts Pat was making and decided I would try something a bit new. On my site I have something I’ve been calling “Steam Roundup,” where I’ll take 5 games and do separate mini-reviews for them. Well, I thought I would start carting that here, […]

Sleeping Dogs

General Overview Imagine if you had a game that combined elements of Saints Row, True Crime, Batman Arkham Asylum, Max Payne, and Assassin’s Creed. Imagine if that same game was a sprawling action RPG hybrid being fronted by Square Enix. Sounds too good to be true, right? Strangely enough, Sleeping Dogs seems to combine all […]

The Last Story

It should be noted that this is not the pre-order kit. There is actually quite a lot of swag for pre-ordering. General Overview An action RPG that has semi-real time strategy elements, close and long-range combat, lots of optional side missions, and even stealth gameplay? Surely, there’s got to be something wrong with it. That’s […]
