LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

January 31, 2023February 1, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

If there’s two things that is probably abundantly clear by now that I adore (if not, they ought to be, after 6 years of this waffling), it’s LEGO and Star Wars. Like many kids I played extensively with Denmark’s greatest gift to the world, endlessly building humongous mish-mashed creations from whatever sets I had lying … Continue reading LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

Portal 2

January 17, 2023January 20, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

How on earth are you supposed to follow up a game like Portal? I can only imagine that question had to be at the forefront of the minds of the developers over at Valve as they worked away at this game; it certainly was on the mind of everyone who watched with bemusement and curiosity … Continue reading Portal 2

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

December 13, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

So there’s this little film series that exists right? You might have heard of it once or twice at some point: the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Did you know that once upon a time it was even a franchise of comic books as well? And for some reason the fine folk over at Traveller’s Tales decided … Continue reading LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

August 10, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I have a bit of a history when it comes to playing Shadow of Mordor. I can remember being maddeningly excited for it back in 2014; I still had glorious memories of playing the old The Return of the King game, not to mention the fun RPG The Third Age, but both of those were … Continue reading Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

June 14, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Like the rest of the known universe, I love Batman. It doesn’t seem to matter what he’s in, or how often DC shows me another rehash of his tragic origin story, I still find myself consuming pretty much any and every piece of Batman media I can find. There’s something endearing about his earnest gloominess … Continue reading LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

April 4, 2022May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

The fact that Metal Gear Rising exists baffles me. If you know anything at all about the Metal Gear franchise, you’ll know it’s a series known for helping to popularize stealth games, for bringing movie-style production and sensibilities to gaming, typically in the form of lengthy cutscenes and the occasional big action set-piece, and for … Continue reading Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

The Force Unleashed II

February 28, 2022May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Given my less than stellar reaction to the first The Force Unleashed, you might question why on earth I opted to play the sequel. There’s having an open mind, of course, but The Force Unleashed II has a worse reputation than the first game, so what can be gained from playing it? Well, while The … Continue reading The Force Unleashed II

The Force Unleashed

February 14, 2022May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes the sentiment attached to certain games truly baffles me. Obviously we all have our own individual opinions and that’s ok, and there’s very little one can say objectively about games when we recount and review our experiences with a given game. And yet, occasionally you get a game in front of you that you … Continue reading The Force Unleashed

Portal

December 6, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

I thought my Skyrim review took me a long time to write - this one took me even longer! Portal (PC, PS3, Xbox 360 [reviewed]) Released Oct 2007 | Developed / Published: Valve Genre: Puzzle | HLTB: 3 hours Wow, where do I even start with Portal?. It is, without a shadow of a doubt … Continue reading Portal

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

November 15, 2021December 10, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

If you know me, you’ll know there’s five words you can say that will make me the happiest person in the world. Just five little words, ideally spoken in a thick, Nordic drawl, greeting me as I open weary eyes after a fitful sleep. Hey, you. You’re finally awake. Oh, Skyrim. It may be a … Continue reading The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
