Puzzle Agent: A Review

        Do you like puzzles? If not why the hell are you reading a review of a game called Puzzle Agent? In Puzzle Agent you control FBI agent Nelson Tethers of the puzzle research division, who has been sent to Scoggins, Minnesota to get an eraser factory that supplies the white house back up and running. The unfortunately there is a large overcomplicated lock on the door to the factory, the foreman is missing, and everyone in the town has a unhealthy obsessed with puzzles. It's up to you to discover the secrets of Scoggins, but beware there are malevolent forces trying to stop you. Also did I mention that there are puzzles?
         Game play in puzzle agent is divided into a point and click style locations, and the puzzles. The puzzles in Puzzle Agent are a mixed bag, there are several unique and clever puzzles that are worth playing the game for, but at the same time there are some puzzles that aren't clearly explained, or mentally stimulating.
        For most seasoned gaming veterans nothing quite makes them quake in terror like a point and click inventory puzzle. Fortunately there are none in Puzzle Agent the style of gameplay is used to get agent Tethers to from point A to B, and interact with other characters. This is where the game really shines as the voice acting and cutscenes are great, and really suck the player in.
        The game took be about 4 hours to beat but I didn't complete all of the optional puzzles. If you can get this game on sale is is an easy recommendation to anyone who enjoys and intellectual challenge and is willing to bust out a pencil and paper to solve some of the more difficult puzzles. Even if you are not that good at puzzles the in game hint system will help you through the game. Did you know this game has puzzles?

MGS V: TPP Review Update. ***SPOILERS AHEAD***

Earlier I posted an in-progress review of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, lauding it as an impeccable triumph of the stealth-action genre and a great final entry to the Metal Gear series. Having now completed the game, I feel as though I should talk about the latter half of the game, and where I thought a serious dip in the development quality occurred - and why.

I will be discussing the plot of the game and revealing details of the locales encountered later on. If you do not wish for these details to be spoiled, please refrain from reading this article until you have finished MGS V.


****SPOILER CONTENT AHEAD

Patches, Updates, and DLC - Thoughts

This week, I'm going to talk about additional content of games, so bear with me and lack of pictures. I'm lumping any changes post-release of a game as "additional content", and have chosen to focus on patches, updates, and DLC and their importance (or lack thereof).

Hehehe.....bear.

3 Games to Make Fun of Your Least Favorite Politicians

3 games to make fun of your least favorite politicians

Ever boot up a game of Organ trail, and load up a wagon with your enemies and intentionally sabotage a trip so that they die off slowly and painfully? Then this list is for you! The wonderful world of video games allow us to play god in ways that are either therapeutic or potentially harmful depending on who you ask. So practice your evil laugh because here are 3 great games to get even with Obama(or whomever you blame for the worlds problems)

1. Fallout games

The fallout games offer a unique opportunity in video games, the one intelligence playthough. By lowering your characters intelligence to 1, you are provided with unique dialogue options that highlight your characters lacking mental faculties. Moreover you can roleplay all kinds of terrible decisions that you think that they would make as you take on the many quests throughout the game.

2. The Sims

But what if simply making fun of the politicians stupidity and poor decision making is not enough for you? What if you prefer to create a bizarre and unethical sociological experiment targeting a specific group? See how long your sim world leaders survive without water or sleep, make them participate in competitions with arbitrary rules, rewarding and punishing individuals as you see fit.



3. X-COM: UFO Defence
The original X-COM is a classic turn based strategy and management game by MicroProse, in which you play an organization tasked with the defense of earth against aliens. Two important factors make this a great game for the purposes of this list, the game lets you name all of your soldiers and the game is notorious for how swiftly and brutally your soldiers die. So assemble your squad of Donald Trump lookalikes, send them to fight off a terror mission, and before you can say alien hunting they will begin being incinerated, melted, zombified, mind controlled, and blasted out of existence.
