Cave Story+

Game review

Cave story is an indie freeware game from long ago. Recently, the small company NICALIS decided to remake CS for PC, Mac, DSi, Wii and 3DS. This is one of those versions!

If you're new to Cave Story, this is really the definitive way to experience the game. It's great fun, too, so you really don't want to miss it!

If you've already played Cave Story, though, you might not want to pay $9.99 for a game you've already played. Aside from a few new gamemodes (including the option to play as Curly), new music and slightly updated graphics, there's not much new to see here.

Cave story is really an engrossing experience that'll take you many hours to complete if you go for the best ending. Innovative level system, original story, great controls and AWESOME music (the original music is better in my opinion). If you don't want to pay $9.99 for a game you don't know if you'll like, download the original freeware version to try it out! If you see CS+ on sale, don't hesitate to pick it up!

Nightmare House 2

Mod review

Nightmare House 2 is quite good for a mod. I haven't played many mods myself, so don't take my word for it - it's probably best to try out yourself.

The story is quite clichéd, with a few original spice-ups, but that's completely okay because it still manages to engross you by being very atmospheric, with ambient music and noises that build tension. The mod isn't terribly hard, and will probably take you ~2 hours to complete, but for the price of $0 it's great value!

The only thing Nightmare House 2 is severly lacking in is voice acting. The voices that actually exist in the game are pretty terribly made, with voice actors all too apparently faking emotions and sounding like they've got something stuck in their throats. This derails the whole immersion a bit, but not too much.

If you've got a few hours to spare, you aren't incredibly sensitive to jumpscares and you own Half-Life 2: Episode 2, I recommend you give this a go and see if you like it!
