Thanks a lot, Dante. Thanks a lot for making my life unproductive again after I've finished exploring this new rendition of your personality and back story! Fuck you (in the words of Dante and one of the bosses in the game)!

It looks like this game had started things off for a slew of upcoming 2013 releases, and it is none other than a reboot of the most badass action franchise to date which pretty much started the whole 'one guy looking super-cool while killing loads of baddies' kind of games weirdly titled DmC: Devil May Cry / DmC.

A video game review: 'Slender'

Origin: -
Language: -
Genres: Survival horror / adventure
Platforms: Windows / Mac OSX
Release: June 26, 2012
Developer & publisher: Parsec Productions

I kept on seeing this Slender Man fellow on 9GAG posts. I thought he was some new horror game character or something, but apparently it's actually a long existed Internet meme / urban legend based on some ancient folklore (possibly a fake one) of a tall, skinny, and faceless entity. But then again... he is kind of new again... when some guy under the moniker of Parsec Productions decided to take the horror this thing has bring upon to a whole new level by turning it into a first-person, single player survival horror PC game with a title derived straight from the said being's name: Slender.

A video game review: Septerra Core - Legacy of the Creator

Origin: United States · Language: English
Genre: Turn-based RPG · Platform: Windows
Release: October 31, 1999

Developer: Valkyrie Studios 
Publisher: Monolith Productions


I've been losing my gaming spirit ever since I got here in Putrajaya, despite having lots of games on my laptop AND the PlayStation 2. But then, this happened...

I don't know how or what triggered me and my bro to remember this awesome fantasy RPG, but it happened. After a grueling search of a good direct download of the game (I even mistakenly downloaded and installed the Polish version instead of the English version. Boohoo!), I finally got to play the game that each member of the Alis loved and hated so much during the Windows 98 era; a decent Western-made Final Fantasy rip-off epic called Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator; developed by the now-defunct Valkyrie Studios and published by Monolith Productions.
