Review: Naughty Bear

Here’s the deal, I was a big fan of Conker’s Bad Fur Day for the N64, and absolutely loved the remake of it for the Xbox, Conker: Live and Reloaded. The idea of a cute, cuddly, and furry animal wreaking havoc in a peaceful world is so twisted that it’s awesome. What helped that game succeed was the humourous dialogue, varied level design, and satisfying, yet rewarding combat mechanics.

Get those thinking caps ready, cause it’s time to jump into a world unlike any other. (more…)

Microview: DeathSpank

Ron Gilbert does no wrong!  He proves it time and time again with every project he puts his hands on.  DeathSpank is Diablo meets Monkey Island in the best of ways.  That alone is all that needs to be said in this Microview.  Not only will you stumble upon loads of hilariously named loot, you’re also going to run into tons of hilarity — period.  With little to no complaints in my first 4 hours of play, I’d expect nothing but a roaring review from QB.    Full review coming soon!
