Shouldn't this be in the video game sextion?

That section sucks. I don't know why we still have it. If we could move all the general gaming stuff over to the lounge it might seem active here again.

Ducktales Remaster...very very good. Very short. Will probably try to run through on the extreme difficulties until I ragequit. A remaster done right. Excellent art, excellent music, excellent reimagining of the original. 10/10.

Velvet Assassin:
Pretty bad game, unforgiving savepoints, pretty hard too. I managed to play through it with no glitches or major hickups. With low expectations, it's quasi enjoyable. The plus for me was being able to understand the obscene spoken german dialogue that is only half translated in the subs. Not recommended.

Brutal Ledgends:
Just about met my expectations and exceeded them at parts. I liked the setting, but the overall premise of portraying metal culture was not met imo. It gets close at times, which redeems it. The world design is well done and even with the over the top npc units roaming it and picking random fights, it does feel surprisingly organic. Many of the cover art inspired areas of the game are really visually well done. The game itself however is a "no brain necessary" run of the mill console typical timewaster. Recommendation: FInish this once, if you already have it in your steam library.

Overlord + Raising hell:
Fun game. The whole presentation feels dated and half-cooked. The plot is surprisingly good in the last third. The expansion is a classic addon type thing: More of the same, basically, with a mediocre story stringing it together. I finished it in prep to get started with the second game, Overlord II, which features higher production value all around. The plus is the humor, but it has grindy phases. Combat is just to random and basic, puzzles (using different type of minions for diffrerent situations) never get to the level of being intriguing. Facit: Some people prefer I, some II. I'd stick to II and only would suggest to play I if you really really liked it. @expansion: Save to skip, just watch the last bossfight on youtube or something.

sword of the samurai is one of a very few extremely old games that still hold up reasonably well today, which i guess isn't that surprising considering it was made by microprose and i think darklands and the original railroad tycoon by them also still hold up really well. it's a really ambitious game too. there are kindasorta total war-esque battles, dueling which is apparently like original pirates, covert ninja missions, and fights in which you face off alone against like 10 enemies, in addition to the campaign map, where you decide what to do, kinda like in total war. 7/10

TMNT 3 Manhattan Project. Easily my favorite NES game. Exhausting. Excellent.
