Telltale have been busily making fun point and click adventure games for a while now, with mostly good results. I didn’t play any of the new Sam and Max games, admittedly, but I tried the Strong Bad and Monkey Island episodes, and they seemed alright. Just nothing spectacular. Then recently, they’ve been trying some new game ideas such as Late Night At the Inventory, a simple but entertaining poker game. They also made the surprise jump to a more mainstream popular franchise in Back to the Future (the second episode of which is out today, in fact). Still, none of these have piped my interest as much as the prospect of a JURASSIC PARK GAME! YEEEAH!
A few details: it’s going to be a third person adventure, set during the timeline of the first movie, and apparantly follows some all-new characters. Dennis Nedry’s can of dino-embryo’s seems to be integral to the plot in some way or another, but thats pretty much all I can work out from the trailer. I’m just excited at the idea of DINOSAURS! I’m a huge fan of the Jurassic Park films and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this game, which is not far away: April 2011 seems to be the planned release date. Check out the first trailer below.
I recently played through Cult of the Lamb, a satirical take on the concept of running a demonic cult. It turns horrific things like sacrificial rituals, cannibalism and straight up gaslighting abuse into hilarious amusements by filtering everything through its cartoonish lens. You are a sheep, after all, and all your followers are sycophantic anthropomorphic […]
Hello, world! This post marks the moment in time and space when BangClickReload got a little redesign and was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Every post before this point is rather old and might not look right, and unless I decide to go through them all to fix them, they’re going to […]
I’ve been pretty absent from PC gaming for some time, since moving to Canada in early 2017, because I haven’t had a proper computer to play games on. That has recently changed, since I got myself set up with a new gaming rig that can handle pretty much anything that’s out at the moment. I […]
Mario has been around for 25 years, as of today. Nintendo have made a cool retrospective video about the iconic plumber, which is worth a watch. I’ve never been the biggest fan of his games, due mostly to a severe lack of skill on my part at old classic platformers which Mario practically invented. It’s impossible to deny the influence these games have had on the industry, though. Paul has been playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and will hopefully have a review up soon. In the meantime, Happy Birthday, Jumpman ^_^
I don’t get on with the Souls games at all, but I really wish that I did. For me, the combat was just a little too clunky and, oh, you know, fucking difficult.
Released within one year of its announcement, Skyrim came along relatively quickly, but was met with huge amounts of praise, and sales figures to match. Gamers the world over have had any notion of free time sucked into oblivion by Bethesda’s sprawling epic fantasy world, and that includes us. It’s the game we played more […]
