500 Word Game Reviews: Prisoner of Ice

I’m glad I was able to keep up my monthly RPG reviews for half a year, but I just don’t seem to have the time anymore. Too many other hobbies! But not all games take up that much time, for example:

Prisoner of Ice (1995) – Point-and-click adventure, PC.

500 Word Game Reviews: Waxworks

I’ve selected a suitably spooky game for this Halloween post, an old favourite that I keep revisiting, but can never seem to complete. Oh, and apparently it got a shiny new remake on Steam last year? 😮 

Waxworks (1992) – RPG, PC.

500 Word Game Reviews: Sanitarium

Here’s a game I really enjoyed… can’t say I understood what was going on for the majority of it, but it certainly kept me hooked. 😀

Sanitarium (1998) – Point-and-click adventure / horror, PC.

500 Word Game Reviews – Elder Sign: Omens

This month’s game was SUPPOSED to be Realms of the Haunting, but the 1996 DOS game turned out to be too spooky for me! Couldn’t even make it past the first few rooms, didn’t even run into any enemies, it just freaked me out too much from the get go. 😮

So while I get settled into playing some tame city builder instead, here’s an old review which I haven’t posted here yet. Horror-themed board game conversions, I can just about handle. 😛

Elder Sign: Omens (2013) – Board game, PC.

500 Word Game Reviews: Zafehouse – Diaries

Halloween may still be over a week away, but try telling that to the zombie horde that’s rapidly gathering outside your home… 😛

As with many other newer games I’ve reviewed here, screenshots feature small text designed to be read at much higher resolutions than this blog format allows (I might get around to updating it one day!) – in the meantime, opening images in a new tab and deleting the ?w=450 part of the url will let you see them in full-size.

Zafehouse: Diaries (2012) – Stragegy, PC.

Betterman

Time to go back to that anime series poll I did back in January – first I reviewed Mahou no Stage Fancy Lala, which got the most votes from my readers (and was very good). But how will one of the runners up, Betterman, fare in comparison?
