The unexpected Prometheus forum thread at HonestGamers
As this is being forced back into my conscious, let me catch up a little. Alien: Covenant was absolutely terrible and I can offer no redeeming option of it. Alien: Romulus was fine. Sadly, the franchise is in such a…
HonestGamers has a new/old owner again...
Thanks. There's always a cost that goes along with any new visual design, as we all have to adjust to where to find everything. We develop a sort of muscle memory over the years, a favorite way of getting around. The…

Hope things are going well with you, as well as the continued longevity and evolution of the site. Also, thanks to Jason for keep things going this whole time! Interesting update! It's certainly going to take time to…
HonestGamers has a new/old owner again...
This post is an announcement to let you know that I have made fresh arrangements with Jason Leyanna, who bought the site from me in February of 2022. I'm thrilled to announce that as of this evening, I once again own…
The unexpected Prometheus forum thread at HonestGamers
Like Looney Tunes characters running away from a cannonball, only to be hit by it on the far horizon, when simply turning the side would have spared them? (I edited this message.)

This thread is awesome and deserves to be revived. All the times.
dementedhut's Deep Sleep Trilogy review
It's been a minute since I've played this, but I do remember enjoying the first two games over the third one; the tonal shift in part three and the disappointing twist threw me for a loop. I would have easily given the…
dementedhut's Deep Sleep Trilogy review
Now I have played this game, I endorse this review. I think it does a lot to establish a genuinely unnerving atmosphere with excellent sound design and some creative jump scares considering the minimalist assts the…

hastypixels's Starcraft Remastered review
You make a good point, though I see the Terrans has the roughneck gunslingers of the bunch, eager to kick over the nest and take on all challengers. None of the characters prove otherwise in the story, nor were they…
hastypixels's Starcraft Remastered review
Terrans are offence first? Huh. They struck me as by far the most defensive race. Then again, I suck at FPSs, and couldn't finish the SP campaigns (almost did in Brood War, got stuck I think two scenarios from the end…

dementedhut's Fantasy Zone review
Sorry for the late reply! Was in the mood to review another SMS game, but I didn't want to stumble into a possibly bad one, so I went with a classic! Still engaging to play after all this time. Thanks for the reading…
dementedhut's Fantasy Zone review
I liked this review a lot. It did a great job of leaning into the wonderful absurdity that this game provides.
overdrive's Asdivine Cross review
Yeah, that would have been on accident. Been something like 20 years since I played Zero Wing and my brain's not fundamentally sound enough to recall the tortured attempt at English the intro to that one possessed. That…
dementedhut's Fantasy Zone review
"Describing anything in this game is impossible without sounding like a deranged person." The best description of my beloved Fantasy Zone I've ever heard.
overdrive's Asdivine Cross review
I was leaning more towards the "Zig set us up the bomb" meme. Guess you did do it on accident. I am disappoint. I don't think of Zig-friend as gone. I like to image him skulking around the edges, quietly fuming I can…
overdrive's Asdivine Cross review
So do I. Reason #1 I played this game to review it: the fact the secondary villain was named Zig. Might not be reviewing anymore, but I won't let the legacy die!
overdrive's Asdivine Cross review
"Zig sets him up" I see what you did there. I refuse to believe it was an accident.
dementedhut's Independence Day review
I was kinda-sorta in the same boat with my first few Sega Saturn games. I was happy to get a Sega Saturn for Christmas... but my local electronics store had a very-lacking and small selection of Saturn titles. It got so…
dementedhut's Independence Day review
I got this game for my birthday one year, from my Mom. She tried. But the local video store only had a few games, apparently, and this was one of them. She thought it would probably be pretty cool. The year after that…
jaxerz's Deltarune: Chapter 1 review
It's clear you have a lot of passion for Deltarune, which has a much larger following than I realized until this very week. Apparently, despite all those other big games getting announced, a lot of people were still…
zigfried's Parasite Eve review
Thank you so much for writing this, just played this game and holy fuck its shit. IT is indeed a gorgeous full of charm piece of shit, but shit regardless. I am truly convinced no one really played this, it is truly…
dementedhut's Ray Tracers review
Thank you folks for shedding a "ray of light" on the subject!
dementedhut's Ray Tracers review
I don't remember most people giving a crap about "ray tracing" until Nvidia made it THE thing your graphics had to have in order to be taken seriously by tech bros. The tech dates back to the 80s, but broadly, people…
dementedhut's Ray Tracers review
I actually tried finding any development history concerning the game after reading your comment (ie 10 minutes) and couldn't find any explanation for the title. Though, I should mention that Taito also had another…
dementedhut's Ray Tracers review
How interesting to see a 1997 game called "Ray Tracers", given that ray tracing has recently become better known for providing fancy graphics in systems like PS5. I wonder why Taito used such a technical name for their…
EmP's Star Trek Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator review
"I had to fight through the labyrinth of sub menus to try and find the order to turn on the tractor beam under a very harsh time limit, and I ended up ejecting the warp core instead." Something tells me Kirk & Picard…
EmP's Star Trek Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator review
Congratulations on reaching that milestone. It was exciting to watch, even if I didn't always have anything to say in the moment.
EmP's Star Trek Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator review
I hated writing this review, and I've been trying to do it for near on 10 years now. The only reason I pushed through to the end now was because that awful T.V. show of the same name was loosing relevance by the second…
EmP's Star Trek Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator review
I can't recall ever playing a menu-heavy based game on an older console, where actions took place in real-time, and having a good time. At the very least, the games I remember with heavy menus paused the action when…
JoeTheDestroyer's ActRaiser Renaissance review
I have a decent amount of nostalgia for ActRaiser, I think mainly because it was one of the first SNES games I played and it looked and sounded so much better than the NES stuff I spent most of my time with, so it was…
[NEWS] Game developer Yoshihisa Kishimoto passes away at 64
You know, I was looking through his catalog of games, and I was surprised just how many non-Double Dragon/Kunio-kun titles I played that he was involved with in some capacity. I didn't know he was involved with the…
dementedhut's Bank Panic review
Glad that my descriptions were clear enough to understand! I would've submitted some images, but SMS screenshots are a colossal pain for "reasons." The mechanics make this, at least for me, one of the more fascinating…
Leroux_Deux's The Punisher review
God damn Leroux reviews still slap. Really good writing in the end section about the boss fights.
dementedhut's Bank Panic review
Great review. This game sounds really weird and somewhat challenging to describe, but your descriptions left me feeling like I had a good idea of how it worked (and didn't work) mechanically.
