DISCLAIMER: If you want to play the original versions of Save the World (Season 1), it's obtainable by purchasing this game and downloading the free DLC that comes with it. Old look, Bosco's original voice actor and unchanged dialogue. Don't let the negative reviews dissuade you from purchasing this game, they're literally making a mountain out of a molehill for twelve voice lines and one voice actor change (that can be reverted by mods!)

A Tale told once more
Sam and Max: Save the World is a remastering of the original Season One of Telltale Games's Sam and Max: Freelance Police, distributed and released from late 2006 to mid 2007 by Skunkape Games, a group of people of veteran Telltale Games developers. (Skun-ka'pe or Skunk-ape, doesn't matter how you pronounce it)

Containing all six chapters of the original season in one launcher, remastered beautifully to stand firm in modern times. Additional music and lighting effects have been added to make the game pop out, and all of the characters in the game have been re-created to fit the updated artstyle that is closer to the series creator Steve Purcell's vision. In all honesty, this is the best looking game that the Freelance Police has ever been in thanks to the advancements of modern hardware of computers. Gameplay has also been tweaked to include controller support and WASD + Mouse controls to fit in line with the later seasons.

Not only that, but they have added in nods to the later seasons (Beyond Space and Time/The Devil's Playhouse) as a wink to the veteran fans and enthusiasts of both TTG and S&M. As someone who fell in love with Sam and Max back at 'Abe Lincoln Must Die!' and has been with the series ever since then, It's as if i was going to my past and reliving it all over again with child-like awe and wonder...but then, like going through a nostalgia trip, i see things that doesn't exactly play like how i remember it. Some jokes have been cut, shortened or re-written, along with one of the reoccurring supporting characters Bosco having his voice actor changed. I won't lie, it was off-putting to hear Bosco with a lighter voice than how he was in the original versions, but even with that difference the voice lines and dialogue were just as hilarious as they were back then.

This remastering is a love-letter to the humble beginnings and meteoric rise of Telltale Games, both respecting the past and also looking towards the future of what the Freelance Police had to offer. Personally, i'm very much happy to see a franchise i love getting some modern-day recognition and revitalization. And if how this game looks like is what we can expect for the potential remasters of Beyond Space and Time along with The Devil's Playhouse, i'm very much excited for what the future has to offer.

Originally released in 2006-2007 for Gametap and PC itself, only to be remastered and re-released in 2020 for PC and Nintendo Switch, it's Sam and Max: Save the World!

Frederick Dabberry's Pizzaz Simulator: The New Sauce is the SEVENTH game of the "Five Nights at Freddy's Gas Station" Series where YOU are the big boss man of the pizza place that has to make sure that everyone eats as MUCH pineapple pizza and Pepsi (to pay off that LARGE debt that you made to the Mahou Shouju Mafia's boss leader, Miko Yasatawu before she sends her girls to break your legs!) with maximum satisfaction! But while customers are shelving out their hard-earned cash, YOU have to defend yourself as horny animatronics comes out from the vents to engage in raw (and VERY FATAL) sex with your overworked butt! Such Animatronics include: 100% BLACKED BEAR, Reisen Udongein Inaba, EL CHIP MAS GRANDE, Jenny Wakeman, The Living Tumbleweed and MANY MORE in this greasy weekend-filler of a game! While Scotty Mccashcatch hasn't added in the ULTIMATE SLEEPOVER JAMBOREE TO THE 9TH INFINITUM PART DEUX update alongside Endo-kun's dating route yet, the game is near completion as it is now and i would very much recommend playing it. And here's a Protip to keep in mind as you play: If you press the hidden dab key as Reisen pulls her shirt off, she'll be too embarrassed to go any further and will go inside a broom closet and cry herself into a drunken slumber.

This game, despite what it may look at first is actually one of the best visual novels i've played in a LONG while. Sure it may seem slow at first, but once the festival ends and you're given the option of what route you want to take the game gets MUCH more interesting and polished. Monika is my favorite with Natsuki being a close second.

Funfact: this game was the punchline for a 2 year-long joke on Smashboards due to the main dev being one of the guys who made Melee's 20XXTE mod.

Released for PC on September 22nd, 2017 (oh hey that's my birthday!) it's Doki Do- I want to throw Yuri in a DumPsTeR FiRe like the TrAsH she is

You are the blood, flowing through my fingers....
If Hotline Miami was the gorey, energetic yet confusing party, then Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is the depressing migraine-filled hangover. For the rest of the review, i'll call Hotline Miami 2 by it's subtitle Wrong Number to avoid confusion.

The story takes place primarly in the 90s, with some segments taking place in the 80s during Hotline Miami's story and some segments taking place before both games, during the Russian Invasion of Hawaii. To keep it brief while spoiler-free: It's 1991, and Miami is still recovering from the Masked Murder attacks of '89. The remmants of the Russian Mafia is gearing up for war against the Colombians all the while the Miami Mutilator is running amok, killing innocent people and it's up to one man to save Miami from this murderfilled dance: Manny Pardo. During this tale dark secrets of the past will be revealed and everything will come to it's ultimate conclusion.

Gameplay SEEMS similar but they tweaked it in certain ways. For instance there is NO drop button, forcing you to throw your weapons. Not only that but unlike the small boxed yet action filled levels of Hotline Miami, Wrong Number has HUGE levels, forcing you to either lure out enemies or pray that your bullets will hit their mark. Also it's hard. REALLY HARD. I'd honestly say it's harder then the first game! Each character has their own querks (Manny Pardo can use gun executions, The Soldier can use both a knife and Evan encourages pacifism, dismantling guns and knocking out enemies.) and the soundtrack has some returning people from the first game (M.O.O.N, Scattle, Perburbator, El Tigre) and new people (Carpenter Brut, Magic Sword, Mega Drive) joining forces to make a total EARGASM of a soundtrack. It's so good that the soundtrack costs the same price as the normal game!

Thinking back, remembering the title screen with the blowing trees and the serene music alongside the ending to the entire game just brings a tear into my eye alongside a small smile that says "I 100% completed this game for my summer vacation and it was worth it." If you are looking for a beat'em up with a rocking soundtrack. Get this masterpiece. You won't regret it. I nominated this game for the "I'm not crying, there's something in my eye" Award.

I literally couldn't play this for more than 30 mins. This game can't decide if it actually wants to run well or be PAYDAY 2 tier badly optimized. Treyarch, Please make it so that the people who actually plays BO3 on the PC can actually be ABLE to run it besides the pregame loading screen. I get that this is a beta, but this is just sad.

It would seem that the Hotshots have activated the Steam Review, Chip!
Super Monday Night Combat is a mixture of Dota 2, SMITE, TF2 and Brawl Busters and like Brawl Busters, this game is nearly dead. Infact i think it's UNDEAD at this point. Anyway, You have multiple characters to play as such as an alternate version of The Ultimate Warrior, a Fanboy who went full on Yandere-Psychopath and is one of the most pain in the ass characters to deal with, Mario with a Medigun and a shotgun (You can even get a TF2 Medipack!), Donkey Kong in a suit, Leonardo Da Vinci, Combat Girl who is best girl out of the Pit Girls and the list goes on for another 12 more characters. With a whopping TWENTY-FIVE PLAYERS i am amazed that this game's online servers are still up. If you ever want to be the 26th, then try this game out for a spin. Play enough and you will even be rewarded with TF2 Hats. Oh and don't forget...THE RULES HAVE CHANGED.

Legends never die, they just get better!

Fortress Forever is the bastard son of Team Fortress Classic and the long lost brother to Team Fortress 2.
Unlike all of my other reviews which were just joke reviews, this is an actual one.

You have all of the classes of the original game (Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Heavy, Demoman, Engineer, Medic, Sniper and Spy) and unlike TF2 where you have unlock weapons: There is no unlocks. No FaN, no black box, no brass beast and no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dead ringer. Just a crowbar, a shotgun, some class exclusive weapons and grenades. (Also, every class has a shotgun. Even spy.)

Yes, you read that right. Grenades. Every class has a normal grenade and a special one. Like a flame one for Pyro or a concussion grenade for Scout. that kind of stuff. You can use them to not only kill enemies but with some skill and know-how, use them for an extra burst of speed and distance with bunnyhopping. (Yes, Bunnyhopping. that ♥♥♥♥ wasn't heard of since 2000!)

One thing about FF is that this is being run on a VERY old version of the Source Engine. I presume they did this because later versions nerfed Bhopping so that it would be impossable to do. If you want to know about the tricks of FF, they made a tutorial to know to air control, Bhop and grenade jump. You can access it from the main menu.

But yeah, for being in still birth since 2007, this game turned out fine. Infact, the veterans from TFC and Quake TF is playing this than TF2. That is both a plus AND a disadvantage to FF, mainly due to that there will be a 'skillgap' between the people who played TFC who will know this stuff and the people from TF2, who will know soon that this is an entirely different ballgame then to what they are used to.

Announced and stuck in vaporware hell since 2007 and FINALLY released at 2015, it's Fortress Forever!

PAYDAY 2: Thermal Boogaloo is the Sequel to PAYDAY: The Heist. You get to play as NATHAN STEELE , Keanu Reeves, Samuel L. Jackson, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wolf, a guy named Houston, JIM HOXWORTH , a friggin DRAGON, some irish drunk, Bonnie (no relation to Bonnie the Bunny) and last and not LEAST, JACKET from the titular Hotline Miami series.

The story consists of Gustavo Fring, Delenn and Riddick is paying huge wads of DO$H to whoever robs banks and ♥♥♥♥ just to get golden skulls. Only problem is that you have Sam Fisher, Dr. Robotnik, Shinji Ikari and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TURRET VAN trying to stop you.

Get enough golden skulls to unlock a virtual novel involving Bain, the thermal drill and Kawaii mask waifus.

Released in 2013, It's PAYDAY 2 fellas!
