The final part of the three part series of Runaway. As always it's quite funny and easy to get sucked into it, however the problem I had with it was the catch up from the last game when you learn everything was done a little too fast and changed the voice for Brian Basco and a few others (I don't know for what reason) and it's REALLY noticeable, as if the guy wasn't even trying to imitate the previous voice actor's way of speaking or tone of voice at all.

Quite disappointing on the voice side of things, but if you can get over that, it's still quite a fun ride, especially with the implementation of ways to see hotspots for when you miss some (a complaint I had from the first two games) and even a hint giver who makes jokes about Pendulo Studios employees. However the ending I loved and I can't wait to get stuck into their other adventures. Yesterday and The Next Big Thing.

An interesting hybrid between FPS and platforming which is a risky move considering Oddworld have only ever done platforming, but their own humour comes into it and using insects and small animals as ammunition is always funny. You have many RPG elements with upgrading weapons, health and so on by buying stuff from the store and getting far more money from catching the person alive rather than dead.

I highly recommend this to any fan of the Oddworld series. Not yet seen the end, but it is an amazing game that I've had trouble to stop playing.

A must have for fans of the original Oddworld games. This one being in 3D might cheese some people off, but the creators have put a lot of effort into this, making new types of enemies to fight, out-think or control. The humour is fun as always and the chance for multiple endings will entice you for multiple playthroughs.

Edit: As a departure from the series, the focus isn't entirely on Abe this time, but Munch who is the last of his species and Abe has to help him by rescuing him and also recovering eggs and such to help bring back his population.

A new mechanic in this game is the sodas that give you temporary abilities and the machine fixed onto Munch's head which malfunctions and can be used to free these fuzzy little creatures that seem cute, until angry where they reveal their razor-sharp fangs and remind me a lot of the aliens from the Critters series.

Abe not only frees more of his people on his journey, but you can even upgrade them to become pretty effective warriors with big clubs or even ranged ones who shoot these energy weapons that can make you unstoppable with enough of them! This was a lot of fun and I can't wait to try out more Oddworld games in the future.

Very enjoyable and more of the first one. This one has a storyline you certainly can't predict and it has that comedy to it too. :) If you enjoyed the first one you should definitely buy this right away, it's fun and awesome!

Edit: It's one of those certainties in these kinds of worlds with mystery and intrigue that even going on holiday after the stressful and crazy adventure where you met your significant other, you get pulled into a whole new mystery that puts your lives on the line once again!

This is a very fun little point and click adventure title. The story itself is very involving and it's got a good sense of humour, however the mechanics I find are a bit of a pain in the ass. Certain items you can pick up are not visible or highlighted on the screen so often you are running around like a headless chicken, having no idea what you are missing. Sometimes they are in the foreground, but not highlighted which makes things more difficult or it's inside a mundane item. Another annoying thing is it does one of the problems I don't like with some adventure titles where there is clearly a item of interest and when you try to interact with it the character is like "I don't know what I'd use it for" plus your inventory gets wiped when entering a new chapter. I mean did he seriously think "Oh a crowbar, don't think I'll need that anymore." but I digress, the story is quite involving and you only have 2 options with what to do with items. Worth every penny.

The sequel to X-com: UFO Defence or "UFO: Enemy Unknown" as named in the UK. It starts off showing what happened after you destroyed the alien base and that they had a plan up their sleeve, firing off a pod of some-kind into the sea where new under-water aliens now appear.

A few problems I have with this is most likely a problem with the game or dosbox because sometimes the sound comes out wrong. However for gameplay like the first game I swear the aliens have a far better vision and can see in the dark, even though people have claimed in walkthroughs that they can't and don't have better vision.

Honestly, I still love this game though. The environments are quite creepy with new and terrifying (sometimes comical) undersea aliens. You also research new types of submarines, even those that fly out of water to track UFOs. The bases I find are more difficult than the first game and more challenging. That's all I have to say, game on :)

Edit: Being set underwater, there are not only some very creepy looking creatures, but also, some lovecraftian-inspired horrors that lurk below the ocean. Along with the hidden city of R'lyeh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%27lyeh), that the aliens are attempting to bring up to the surface. Not to mention the nautilus and other ancient and creepy creatures from a time before humans walked the Earth that they manage to recruit to their ranks.

Beyond this, it's more of the first, which isn't a bad thing, with the added underwater missions and the aliens being from under the sea. I do find it difficult to believe that X-Com didn't save the weapons from the first invasion and apply them to the underwater tech since it should be clear that they'll need this technology along with soldiers and so on.

However, that being said we live in a world where the WHO and groups who are there to fight pandemics were underfunded because governments didn't see pandemics as something that was going to happen and it screwed them over and we're repeating that again but letting funding drip away once more. Guess humans and their reliance on money is a staple in being unprepared and in constant danger.

There are quite a few new units in this and a new story to each faction and as you can guess, it's under the assumption that the allies won, oh joy.

Anyway, there are 4 campaigns to choose, allies, soviets, empire and Yuriko which is a personal story about the special unit the empire have, Yuriko Omega. You have to play the soviets first though a mission or two to unlock the others and the only two stories I like in this one is the soviets and Yuriko's because I could understand why they want to do stuff, but the other two is merely a grab for power and such.

All in all, nice new units, but the campaigns are a bit short so it's a okay buy and you don't need red alert 3 to run so maybe buy it when it's on sale like I did, I believe. Unless you are a HUGE fan of C&C.

This is quite a funny little adventure. The best way to describe it would be as "Noob's first point-and-click adventure" and I say this for a few reasons.

1. You are given a general tutorial on what to do, but also you are given a hint ability in the form of a parrot names Juan.

2. When you hover your mouse over something you can interact with, the name shows up in purple if something new will happen, white if there's nothing more interesting about it, same with using items with it.

3. This might sound a bit silly coming from me, but they're Anthros, though in a more "kid-friendly" sort of way and it's quite harmless with no scenes of blood or violence let alone swear words.

As you can see it seems to be aimed as a younger age range, however I enjoyed playing it because it was at least a little funny and it makes you feel smart by being so easy and many different collectables in the game. Crackers (to use for hints if stuck), pieces of eight and flag pieces. A fun and harmless game.

More of the first only some of the puzzles are absolutely diabolical! Much of it sitting upon guess work out of nowhere and as if they're trying as hard as possible to make you lose a this game, though I'm not certain if the ending is a cliff hanger or not, it didn't wrap up certain things imo.

A very fun game with lots of puzzle solving, I'd highly recommend this if you are a fan of puzzles. the story is also quite involving where you enter the small town of Scoggins where you run into many suspicious people, kinda like a Lovecraftian town where the people wish to be let along and make the visitor feel unwelcome. Beware, some puzzles will have you pulling out your hair.
