Hiatus

Hiatus http://wp.me/s4ydjV-hiatus

I would like to apologize to my followers, for I will have to take a break from reviewing games. My computer is getting old, and just can’t handle the types of games I want to review. I was hoping to review Fable Anniversary, but my computer crashes every time I try to play. So, it is with heavy heart, I have to put the blog to rest until I have the time and money to rebuild my gaming system.…

Review: Redshirt

Avoid this game at all costs! #Redshirt #TiniestShark #Positech

  Redshirt. I really wanted to like this game. One of my favorite books was Redshirts by John Scalzi. But this game (developed by Tiniest Shark and Positech) isn’t worthy of the name Redshirt. In fact, this game is more bland and boring than the red-shirted background actors from Star Trek. At least they DID something. This game does very little, and it doesn’t do it well. There’s a little humor…

Review: ArcheAge

If you are looking for a new free MMO, why not check out ArcheAge? #Trion #ArcheAge

Trion, the company behind Rift and Defiance, has a new MMO coming out called ArcheAge. The game went into open beta on September 4th, and I finally got a chance to play. While some things feel new and fresh, most of the game feels very familiar.

The game is based upon the book series Akkiage, by Korean writer Min-Hee Jeons.  2000 years ago, all races lived together in peace. Then war broke out,…

Destiny!

It's about to happen! #Destiny #Bungie

  I’ve waited. Patiently? Sure, I’ll go with that. I preordered my copy of Destiny a while back, and now, finally, the game will go live on Tuesday! For those of you who are PS4 owners planning on playing the game, you will be treated to early download, starting right now. Destiny will be the first PS4 game that will use this feature. This means if you buy the game from the PSN store, the game…

Review: Game Dev Tycoon

A game about making games? #GameDevTycoon #GreenheartGames

  Game Dev Tycoon is another simple, cut and dry game. You are a budding game developer, starting out in the 80’s, creating games for different platforms throughout gaming history. Once you figure out what kind of game you want to make, and give it a name, your character starts working on it. You start working from your garage, but as you make more games, and get more famous, you can move into…

Review: Knights of Pen and Paper +1

Like Dungeons and Dragons? Want to feel like you're playing it? Try this game. #KnightsofPenandPaper+1 #ParadoxInteractive

  Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Deluxe Edition is a game that brings back memories of classic Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Not through immersive storytelling. But simply because your party is sitting around a table. And you have a Dungeon Master.

  Once you have your party figured out, you can then set out on your adventures. Each party member has different abilities that help you progress,…

Review: Mine Quest

  This week, I’m looking at another mobile app game, called Mine Quest. In this game, you play as Orli the dwarf, who has found himself lost, and accompanied by a fairy. It’s your job to “tap” through mines, finding upgrades, and discover what happened to the rest of the dwarves.

  You start out on a basic map, trying to find a way off the island. Soon you find the schematics to an air balloon…

Review: Heroes of Dragon Age

Review: Heroes of Dragon Age

  This week, I’m taking a look at a mobile game, called Heroes of Dragon Age. I’m a fan of the Dragon Age series, so this game immediately pulled me in. While the Dragon Age series is RPG based, this mobile app game is not. It’s more like Pokemon. You start with a few heroes, you fight a few battles, and either gain new heroes from those battles, or buy them with in-game currency.

Your squad is…

Destiny Beta: Here and Gone

Destiny Beta: Here and Gone

Unless you have lived under a rock for the past few months, you’ve heard of the new game by Bungie; Destiny. The Destiny Beta is over now, but they did give us a treat. Between the Alpha and the open Beta, they made a few improvements, noticeably, Peter Dinklage’s voice acting. The “wizard is from the moon” line is gone, and many of the lines that sounded flat and lifeless now sound better. But…

Tomodachi Life Update

Tomodachi Life Update: What's been happening on my island?

Just wanted to make an update post on the state of my Tomodachi Life game. I’m up to 40 Mii’s, have had a total of 3 babies grow up and venture off into the world. And a lot of random awesomeness.

This is Princess Leia. She asked for an “ugly” hat. She got her wish.

Peter Griffin, being his fabulous self.

One of the mini games is called Quirky Questions. You get a set of 3 semi-premade…

I’m Making A Change! (New blog incoming)

I have decided that I’m going to separate some of my content into a new blog. Life in the Dungeon is about gaming, and I want to keep it that way. Because of this, I’m making a new blog just for my kitties.

Introducing: The Life of Two Kitties! This blog will feature day-to-day life for these adorable guys, leaving me free to explore gaming on Life in the Dungeon.

So please feel free to follow…

Watch Dogs Update

Watch Dogs Update: Here's how I'm doing.

  Well, that’s where I’m sitting right now. As you can see, I’ve decided to do the campaign missions, and am at the end of the story. My biggest problem is that last mission. It’s really hard. I’ve even bumped my difficulty down to easy and still can’t seem to beat it. There’s just so much going on, and it’s determined to take my good guy status all the way down by forcing me to either die, or…

Review: Heroes of the Storm

I finally get to play Heroes of the Storm.

Imagine my surprise when I got an email from Blizzard on June 11th telling me I had been accepted into the Heroes of the Storm Technical Alpha. My husband had gotten in weeks ago, and I had to sit and watch him play, longing to be part of the action. And now I can!

I love MOBA’s (multiplayer online battle arena), but I’m not particularly good at them. Heck, I’m only level 12 on League of…

Review: Tomodachi Life

Tomodachi Life is taking over my own life! See why!

    Tomodachi Life is the new life sim game for Nintendo 3DS, that was released June 6th. You are able to take the Mii’s you have created on your system and insert them into life upon an island. What happens from there is up to you… and them.

I’ve played this game since Sunday, June 15th. And I have to say, I’ve gotten quite caught up in it. It seems like such a simple game. You start with your…
