Your Wario-esque approach to finance has landed you in hot lava, literally. The lizard from The Magic School Bus has taken a hit of Ninja Turtle mutagen, and is prepared to pursue you relentlessly on his tricycle, determined to recover the aurum you pilfered. Fortunately, everyone knows that lumberjacks dwarves are expert mine cart operators, especially carts of the anti-gravity type. Ride on Greedy Dwarf, ride on.
There's no denying that gameplay that revolves around staring blankly at a room dense with interactive people and objects, and putting the square peg in all the circular holes (pun intended) until something sticks is hopelessly dated. A more rewarding problem to ponder though is how the humor of a game like 1987's Leisure Suit Larry cannot be extricated from its gameplay counterpart and adapted into some other genre or medium. Banking on nostalgia and some twists thrown in for good measure, developer N-Fusion Interactive has re-remade the game from the ground up, seemingly certain that this classic speaks for itself. You apparently agree, since this game was funded on Kickstarter.
Sometimes the simplest approach is the best, and thus I will put this as simply as possible: Jack Keane 2 - The Fire Within is a mess. It's a glitchy, half-baked production that might pass muster as a late beta, but has no business pretending to be ready for release.
The Walking Dead was Gamezebo's Game of the Year in 2012. It also happened to be my own personal game of the year, thanks to its immense storytelling and the sheer amount of choice that the game offers. Thus, to say that I was looking forward to 400 Days, a special episode aimed at tying Seasons One and Two together, may perhaps prove understatement of the year.

If there's one genre of video games that has consistently fallen more by the wayside each and every year, it's without a doubt those open-world platformers like Banjo Kazooie and Super Mario 64 that made gaming on the Nintendo 64 like nothing else before, or nothing else since. That is why I'm so excited to talk about A Hat in Time, because this game already looks like everything us die-hard 3D platform fans have longed for all these years, and then some.
Layton Brothers: Mystery Room puts players in the gumshoes of Lucy Baker, the newest deputy constable at London's New Scotland Yard Serious Crime Division Classified Investigation Agency Headquarters, or the Mystery Room for short. Lucy signs on as the assistant to Professor Alfendi Layton, investigator extraordinaire and highly capable son of the riddle-loving, tea-drinking Hershel Layton of Nintendo DS fame. While Alfendi's focus is on heinous murders instead of peculiar artifacts, the same keen eye and puzzle-solving capabilities that served the elder Layton will help Alfendi snag criminal suspects.
You were once a proud Samurai warrior bound by honor to protect your village and countrymen. You once embodied the tenets of the ancient discipline to a T, and all foolish enough to challenge you were felled by your powerful ball and chain. You were once part of a glorious line between order and chaos; one in a long line of fearsome champions…and now you are dead.
