I can’t remember why I even wanted to play this game. What I will always remember is the lasting impact this short, walking simulator experience has had on me. - [Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse](https://presentperfectgaming.com/castle-of-illusion-starring-mickey-mouse/) - Mickey’s romp through the Castle of Illusion isn’t a long one. But don’t let Mickey’s cheery demeanor or the picturesque levels deceive you—there’s a deceptively difficult platformer hidden within the evil witch Mizrabel’s Castle. - [Bioshock (Continued)](https://presentperfectgaming.com/bioshock-continued/) - Contents The Intro The Game The Replay The Verdict The Replay (continued) For The Intro, The Game, and the first part of The Replay, see part one of Bioshock on Present Perfect Gaming. We last left Jack just as he had dealt a blow to Andrew Ryan, the founder of Rapture. But Ryan was just - [Bioshock](https://presentperfectgaming.com/bioshock/) - Would you kindly...? Those three memorable words still haunt me to this day, just as much as they did back in 2007 when Bioshock was released. - [Back to the Future: The Game](https://presentperfectgaming.com/back-to-the-future-the-game/) - Contents: The Intro The Game The Replay The Verdict The Intro Title: Back to the Future: The Game Release year: 2010 Developed by: Telltale Games Genre: Graphic adventure Platform replayed on: PC What do you do with a much-loved film trilogy from the 80s, around twenty years after the third film and its associated video - [Commander Keen in Invasion of the Vorticons](https://presentperfectgaming.com/commander-keen-in-invasion-of-the-vorticons/) - But I am really impressed with Commander Keen, and I didn’t find the extreme difficulty or frustration I find with other platformers from this era. - [Hard West](https://presentperfectgaming.com/hard-west/) - Wild. Style. Hard West, a turn-based tactics game set in the American Wild West. A game with style. - [How the Saints Save Christmas](https://presentperfectgaming.com/how-the-saints-save-christmas/) - Contents: The Intro The Game The Replay The Verdict The Intro Title: How the Saints Save Christmas (Saints Row IV DLC) Release year: 2013 Developed by: Volition Genre: Action-adventure Platform replayed on: PC Complete chaos. That’s what comes to mind when trying to describe Saints Row IV.

As I wrote in my replay of Heroes of Might and Magic II, it wasn’t the Civilization series that introduced me to - [Warcraft: Orcs and Humans](https://presentperfectgaming.com/warcraft-orcs-and-humans/) - Contents: The Intro The Game The Replay The Verdict The Intro Title: Warcraft: Orcs and Humans Release year: 1994 Developed by: Blizzard Entertainment Genre: real-time strategy (RTS) Platform replayed on: PC I played a lot of real-time strategy in the late 90s, mostly across the Warcraft, Command & Conquer, and Age of Empire series. What - [The Vanishing of Ethan Carter](https://presentperfectgaming.com/the-vanishing-of-ethan-carter/) - The light at the end of the tunnel. We all know that metaphor…This is how The Vanishing of Ethan Carter begins But is it an omen of death, or a new beginning? - [Dungeon Hack](https://presentperfectgaming.com/dungeon-hack/) - Sometimes you want an epic tale that spans countless hours of exploration, combat, and an unravelling plot. Sometimes you just want to hack and slash countless numbers of whatever’s standing in your way. - [Syberia](https://presentperfectgaming.com/syberia/) - It’s the journey, not the destination. Perhaps an overused cliché, but Syberia is an adventure game quite literally about a journey. - [Max Payne](https://presentperfectgaming.com/max-payne/) - What is it about Max Payne? Surely it was just a standard third-person action shooter, telling a standard tale of revenge? - [Police Quest 4: Open Season](https://presentperfectgaming.com/police-quest-4-open-season/) - While Police Quest 4 does bring the mundane procedural police activities to the fore (flashing the badge, writing reports), the case to solve is anything but routine. - [Alone in the Dark](https://presentperfectgaming.com/alone-in-the-dark/) - But when I think of “survival horror”, my mind stretches back a little further than the 1996 release of Resident Evil on Playstation. Before there was Resident Evil, there was Alone in the Dark. - [SimCity 2000](https://presentperfectgaming.com/simcity-2000/) - God-mode. Isn’t that what simulation builder games are really all about? You get to create and control whichever type of sandbox you’re in. But creating is one thing; controlling your creation is quite another altogether. - [Command & Conquer](https://presentperfectgaming.com/command-conquer/) - The mid-90s was a great time for real-time strategy (RTS) games. I spent many hours with titles like Warcraft: Orcs and Humans (1994), Command & Conquer (1995), and Age of Empires (1997). - [It's Time For Doom](https://presentperfectgaming.com/doom/) - I’m not sure exactly when I first played Doom. I remember as a teenager in 1995, my family upgraded to a 486 computer. And I know that we got Doom II with it. It may have been that I played the original Doom after this—it’s all a bit blurry now… - [Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space Episode 1: Ice Station Santa](https://presentperfectgaming.com/sam-max-beyond-time-and-space-episode-1-ice-station-santa/) - To set the scene, here’s a quick rundown of the first half hour of my replay of Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa…Survive an assassination attempt by a gigantic robot, rive to the North Pole in a DeSoto, supersize a topiary with the tears of one of Santa’s elves, get attacked by a demon-possessed Santa - [Indy Gaming Part III—Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis](https://presentperfectgaming.com/indy-gaming-part-iii-indiana-jones-and-the-fate-of-atlantis/) - Now, I’m not going to bury the headline here—Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is an outstanding game, and a clear favourite when I compare it to The Last Crusade. It is an original story, and has been considered by fans of the franchise as being the “fourth film”. - [Stranger Things 3: The Game](https://presentperfectgaming.com/stranger-things-3-the-game/) - Stranger Things 3: The Game, a modern game made to look like it came out of the 80s. Usually it’s me playing games here on Present Perfect Gaming that look like they came out of the 80s, because they actually came out of the 80s. - [California Games II](https://presentperfectgaming.com/california-games-ii/) - Time to glide, slide, and ride your way around the sunny Californian coast—it’s time for California Games II! - [Full Throttle](https://presentperfectgaming.com/full-throttle/) - Full Throttle: it’s not long, and there are a few speed bumps along the way, but it’s a helluva ride! - [Wolfenstein 3D](https://presentperfectgaming.com/wolfenstein-3d/) - Before there was Doom, there was Wolfenstein 3D. I’ve never been a huge first-person shooter fan, but I remember playing a lot of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom in the mid-90s. - [Sam & Max Hit the Road](https://presentperfectgaming.com/sam-max-hit-the-road/) - An anthropomorphic dog and a hyperkinetic rabbity thing go traipsing around small-town American tourist attractions trying to find a missing bigfoot and his giraffe-necked girlfriend… - [Sid Meier's Pirates!](https://presentperfectgaming.com/pirates/) - Sid Meier’s Pirates! doesn’t do anything to dispel the glamourisation of piracy, but it is an outstanding strategy-adventure game. - [The Dead Begin Walking](https://presentperfectgaming.com/the-dead-begin-walking/) - I first played The Walking Dead: Season One when it came out in 2012. I hadn’t been a fan of the franchise up to that point: I had never read any of the comic book series, or started watching the show on TV yet. So how did I come to play this? - [Indy Gaming—Part II](https://presentperfectgaming.com/indy-gaming-part-ii/) - Classic, point-and-click adventure game. Underneath the surface though, is a deceptively difficult puzzler of an adventure game. - [We can be Heroes (of Might and Magic)](https://presentperfectgaming.com/we-can-be-heroes-of-might-and-magic/) - Classic. Fantasy. Turn-based strategy. If you like the sound of those three mixed together, Heroes of Might and Magic II is worth a try. - [A Relentless Little Big Adventure](https://presentperfectgaming.com/a-relentless-little-big-adventure/) - Dictators, doomsday, discos, and dino-riding? You’ll find them all in Little Big Adventure! - [Sonic Boom](https://presentperfectgaming.com/sonic-boom/) - I’m pretty excited to start writing this one, as the choice of game this time came from a special request. My eight year old son is going through a Sonic the Hedgehog phase right now. - [Indy gaming—Part I](https://presentperfectgaming.com/indy-gaming-part-i/) - This time we’re joining Indiana Jones in a video game adaptation of the third film in the famous film franchise. - [We are the Champions (of Krynn)](https://presentperfectgaming.com/we-are-the-champions-of-krynn/) - Champions of Krynn is a fantasy roleplaying game, where the player takes on the roles of characters, and leads them through an epic adventure. - [Old beginnings](https://presentperfectgaming.com/old-beginnings/) - Welcome to Present Perfect Gaming!
