Quantum Conundrum - PC Review

/

Everyone has a few strange family members. Your family is extra strange though. For one Grandma Quadwrangle used to always say to remember and use your dimensions.

Your mother drops you off at his house every so often and he also greets you with whatever his newest invention may be. In the past these have been jet packs and freeze rays. This time you arrive and the power goes out. Once emergency power comes back up he is able to see and talk to you, but does not remember how he go where he is. Now it is up to you to restore power to the mansion with your uncle’s help.

Quantum Conundrum - E3 Preview

/
Making a good puzzle game can be difficult. First you have to figure out a good mechanic for solving the puzzles. Then you have to design puzzles that can be solved with the mechanic, offers a challenge, but does not frustrate players. Quantum Conundrum, developed by Airtight Games and published by Square Enix, has done a good job in puzzling this together. In Quantum Conundrum you have been dropped off to visit uncle, only to find him missing. He is somewhere in his house as he helps you through the game, with varying degrees of usefulness, but does not know where in his house that he actually is (it is pretty big). Well, time to save the crazy scientist.

I want to be clear with something before I give you my impressions on Hitman Absolution, I am a huge fan of the Hitman series.  So, if my impressions of Hitman Absolution come off as “fan boyish” it’s because, yes, I am a Hitman fanboy.

Hitman Absolution takes place with our favorite assassin Agent 47.

Star Trek has a new video game to add to the plethora of them out in the world. This one is based in the universe made by J.J. Abrams, and just like they rekindled fan excitement in the movie world for Star Trek it looks like it may do that in the video world as well. This game is a third person shooter placed between the first movie and second movie coming out next year. In the game you play asynchronously as either Captain James T. Kirk or Spock (or both in Co-op mode).

Diablo III Breaks Sales Record

/
This really did not come as a surprise to me, or just about any one else, but Diablo III has broken the record for PC game sales in a 24 hour period. In the first 24 hours of the game being on sale they sold 3.5 million copies. This number doesn't include the 1.2 million copies that people got with their World of Warcraft annual pass subscription. That means approximately 4.7 million people were ready to play on day 1. Over the next week that number grew to 6.4 million users. Congratulations in the record Blizzard, and in being able to have so many bugs at launch and still have people love you.

Diablo III - Review

20 years ago (12 years in real time) several hero’s destroyed Diablo and his brothers. They made the world safe for human kind once again. But, as with all things, this piece did not last.

But have they arrived in time to save creation? And more importantly, is it any fun to play?

Mass Effect 3 - Review

/
Anybody who knows me or has been reading any of my past Conversations with IrishPride articles, knows that I am absolutely enamored with the Mass Effect universe. Well, I just finished Mass Effect 3 and I come to you with a review of the final chapter. Does the conclusion of Commander Shepard's epic trilogy end with a big bang? (See what I did there with the big bang comment, it being a sci fi game and all, I know, I'm weird!)
