Haunt the House - Meant to be Played With

For the record, I'm not sure as to why they chose to name this game Haunt the House: Terrortown. One, the title just doesn't sound right. For a game that is both cartoony and colourful, the title isn't complementary to those characteristics at all. Secondly, you won't actually be haunting houses, you're just stopping by to create havoc, and once the entire house is vacated, you move to another and do what you did there (in the previous house), here in the new house. OK, I'll stop complaining.

Kingpin - A Great Game That Was Released at the Wrong Time

I'm sure there's an extremely low chance that you might have heard of this game, let alone played it. This title was released back in 1999 to warm receptions from critics. 10 years after its release, I played it, loved it and even wrote a review (which I lost). Not only it was a decent game, it was also the atmosphere of the game that really caught me. Each chapter took place in grim but beautiful urban areas. But, if you look at this game today, this is not the most unique thing about it.

Indie Game of the Week: The Binding of Isaac

The Binding of Isaac

It has been more than a week, in fact, nearly a month since the first Indie Game of the Week entry. It seems more appropriate to rename the section to "Indie Game of the Month" instead.

Indie Game of the Week: Total Fucking Psychopath

Everything about this retro arcade style freeware game is pretty simple. You play as a maniac who believes everybody is turning into maggots (something like that) and you’re out to stop the madness. As dead bodies begin to pile up on the streets, the cops begin to show up. The more people you kill, the more of cops will arrive in their attempt to arrest -just kidding- shoot you down. Also, you must continuously kill people so that your psychosis meter won’t reach zero, because that means game over. Sounds fun, huh? It is.
