Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers

Hello everybody. Just finished up my most recent review and as you may notice it's not the World of Goo one which was promised.This I hope will do though. I was super stoked about this game and picked it up as soon as I could. To any newcomers to the site, if you're curious as to where everything is, just scroll down or there's a list of links on the right. Blogger is a bit tricky to find the perfect layout and I'm still working on it. anyways, here's the review for you, hope you enjoy it.

Play Smart, Rent before you Buy

This will be the first time, though, that I don't have anything on my queue to review. I'll at some point be doing a Rock Band/Guitar Hero feature but I think I'll hold off on that until after The Beatles: Rock Band. If you have any requests of a game for me to review next, let me know. If I get multiple requests I'll put up a poll for a couple days and review the suggestion with the most votes.

As usual if you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them in the comment box or send me an email at Roboreviews@gmail.com

Thank you and good night!

Braid

It's funny, I had planned to announce that Wednesday would be the day the reviews would always be up every week, but go figure I had friends come into town and didn't get the review up for another 4 days. Nonetheless it's up now hope you guys enjoy it.







Check it out.

Buy Braid On Amazon.com For $15.00

This one was a bit easier to capture footage for as a single playthrough takes about an hour and that got me most of the video I needed. Mind you this is with knowing how to solve all of the puzzles so don't think that you'll clear the game that fast o your first playthrough. I mentioned at the end that you can purchase the soundtrack online. It's one of the better soundtracks I've heard in a game like this so check it out. Here's a direct link to the page.

The next review will be for World of Goo. I'm a little worried to do 2 puzzle reviews back to back as they'll feel a bit similar in the end. we'll see though. Until next week, swing by every once in a while as I might just post whatever's on my mind concerning games and movies and other things. As always, if you have any questions or comment feel free to leave them here or email me at roboreviews@gmail.com.

Castle Crashers

And like that the first review for the site is up. I decided on Castle Crashers a few months ago when talking to a friend about my previous problem on the Okami review. He suggested to try and review something a bit less complex and threw out Castle Crashers. Having played through the game together he knew I liked it and it was the perfect pace to get back into reviews.

Here ya go.

Get Castle Crashers on Amazon.com for $15.00

I really had a blast making this, just the 4 player capture session alone had some good moments. I wish I just had a mic in the room at the time, just posting our footage with the commentary would get more views than the review by far.

As you saw in the video My next review will be on Braid. I've done some preliminary work on it and it seems it'll be a bit shorter than this one as Braid is innovative and challenging but also rather simple in make. that actually sounds pretty good, might use that very line in the review.

Also, in the meantime, check back every once in a while as I might have updates on how the review in progress is going or just general speculation and discussion on current gaming news.

Edit: As mentioned in the review, all of the music playing is from the Castle Crashers soundtrack. If you're interested in downloading it all of the tracks are free to download on Newgrounds.com, Here's a page that has links to all of the individual files. Enjoy.
