Crazy Machines 3

Leave a comment
Many readers may recall the episode of Family Guy where Peter Griffin buys the “Breakfast Machine.” Said contraption was a comically twisted version of a Rube Goldberg machine, that after its elaborate chain of events fires off a gun that hits Peter. If you can remember the episode I’m sure you can hear Peter screaming in agony “WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ALL THAT?” To most players thinking about playing Crazy Machines 3 you’ll be asking yourself the same question, and perhaps feeling a similar sense of confusion and agony, albeit hopefully not quite as painful as a gunshot wound.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI game review

Leave a comment

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is a turn-based 4X video game and the sixth main title in the Civilization series. Civilization VI was developed by Firaxis Games, published by 2K Games, and distributed by Take-Two Interactive. The game was released on October 21, 2016 for Microsoft Windows and on October 24, 2016 for OS X. A port for Linux is planned sometime later.

Lucky is not a new Mario. He’s not Banjo, Sonic, or any of the other beloved anthropomorphised furbags many of us remember as pioneers of platforming. He’s adorable and entertaining, well-designed to be the mascot of an Oculus Rift launch game, but lacks a distinct personality, instead relying on cliches that keep him from truly standing on his own as a character who can come to symbolize a new platform. And like the bouncy fox himself, Lucky’s Tale evokes fond memories of the great 3D platformers that define the genre, but feels somewhat half-baked—introducing you to an assortment of fun enemies and obstacles, but then reusing them for the short duration of the game.
