So Joby asked that I cross post here so I figured I would. One of the things I started doing on my blog, when I first started doing the blog, was rather extensive reviews of videogames, while hopefully being fun enough to read. It is an ongoing process for me and it is something I enjoy doing. I also do podcast and YouTube channel reviews off to the side now. You can access all these reviews I've done from the categories I've setup :).

I just published my review of Deus Ex: Human Revolution here: http://kingisaaclinksr.wordpress.com/2012/07/20/my-review-deus-ex-human-revolution/ tl;dr: I very much enjoyed this game.

I hope you guys enjoy. :) I may post some highlights in my archive from time to time as well.

I really enjoyed this game as well...as a long time Shadowrun player (the tabletop not the crappy videogame) this really fits in with my sci-fi vision. I do agree with you about the bosses, but there are a couple tricks to get by them easier. I also played through not killling anyone for the achievement and MAN that's tough.

Yeah, the first run through I played more stealth, but sometimes I would kill ppl if they were too annoying to deal with. When I replay it, I'll be going for max stealth and no killing.

Nice review! The new Deus Ex is on my pile of games that I need to play...I bought it when it came out and played the first two hours and put it aside when Skyrim came out and it's still sitting on my shelf basically unplayed. It's just my kind of game though and I plan on finishing it. I have great memories of the of the original game, played for hours and it was actually one of the few PC games I played to completion on my antiquated hardware back in the day.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed. If I had more time, I'd be replaying this game to see how it turned out with different style of playthroughs. Alas, I have a list of games. :)

Two new Broken Reviews. These are reviews where I don't finish the game for one reason or another. These games thus get a shorter review, talking about what attracted me to these games and why I ultimately didn't like or couldn't complete the games. That doesn't always make them a bad game, it just means I just didn't like them, but you might find them interesting.

I published my latest videogame review on Legend of Grimrock, the RPG dungeon crawler here:
http://kingisaaclinksr.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/my-review-legend-of-grimrock/

I would appreciate feedback on this as it features a different setup than my reviews have had in the past. Good/bad, doesn't matter. Hope you enjoy reading!

Very nice and detailed review Tim. I might have to give this game a try. Looks like my kind of old school dungeon crawler.

Thanks Rico, yeah, it definitely has a lot of old school sense to it :).

My reviewing never ends, I'm here with another review of "Breath of Death VII: The Beginning". Its a parody retro-RPG game that came out last year and I got the chance to review it this week. Enjoy!

King's Shortened Review of Shank:

http://kingisaaclinksr.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/kings-shortened-review-shank/

A 2D side-scrolling brawler with an interesting graphic style. Bit of an old game yes but a game I had been wanting to finish my thoughts on in a better format. The shortened review series is that better format.

King's Personal Musing 12/5/12: Finals are Over, Christmas Wishlist, Many PC games released lately and more...

This one explains how my finals went and what my plans are for this coming month. It also explains why I've been fairly quiet on the TSF forum for the past month.

King's Videogame Review: FTL: Faster Than Light...

http://kingisaaclinksr.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/kings-videogame-review-ftl-faster-than-light/

An extensive look at the Indie title by Subset Games. Hope you guys enjoy!

Jobydrone · December 09, 2012, 04:11:45 PM

Wow epic review! I will give FTL another try. I bought it but didn't understand the tutorial and kept dying horribly in a few turns. I'll give it another go. Thanks for taking the time to write that!

Its a difficult game and I recommend playing at "easy" difficulty if you aren't already. Glad you enjoyed the review! :)
