Speed reviewing

Post by 3DOKid » Thu Jul 30, 2009 5:31 pm

More ripping off of Atari Age.

Review a 3DO game in 25 words or less. I'll start:

Cyberdillo: Crap.

Space Hulk. AvP with strategy, no aliens, no predator and some strategy.

NFS. Car Porn. Test Drive from the Amiga on Steriods with bling.

Dr Hauzer: Demonstration of 3DO power. Alone in the Dark clone.

Okay guys - I kinda expect this post to be deleted in the interest of taste but I'll do it anyway!

Cyberdillo - not as bad as the Kid says but not as good as Trev makes out

Plumbers - a Guantanomo Bay favourite

Way of the Warrior - like masturbating with a cheese grater - mildly amusing but mostly painful
"purge with fire Bretheren"

Cruising through the archives is fun! There are neat old threads like this! Nothing like a little thread necromancy, huh?

Star Control 2 – God himself wonders why he didn't make this before Toys for Bob.

Dragon's Lair – I PRESSED UP. NOW I GOTTA WAIT. AGAIN.

Wing Commander 3 – How I imagine the future will really be but with more cats.

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties – Hand me my noose and lead me to the highest rafters.

Jurassic Park Interactive – Mrs. Grundy's 3rd Grade Class presents Jurassic Park.

Sex – ALMOST worth it for the puns.

Bladeforce – Why did it take me 14 years to figure out how to play this?

Putt-Putt Joins The Parade – I hope no one catches me playing this.

PaTaank – Play once a day with a heavy dose of hallucinigenics and you'll thank me.

Alone in the Dark 2 – Alone in the Garbage Can

PO'ed – What's Doom?

Indeed, very nice ones, Orz! Although:

I hope this is in reference to the 3DO title and not a review of sex itself, because if it's the latter, I don't want to know what goes on in your bedroom. :wink:

Anyway, I'll throw a few out there:

Brain Dead 13 - Entertaining to watch, marginally less boring than the titular neurological condition to play.

Icebreaker - Typical overhead shooting action, except there's 150 levels, no powerups, and everyone looks like a pyramid.

Psychic Detective - FMV games are derided for their limited points of interactivity, but this one proves quality more important than quantity.
