Flight Control HD: If Tetris Had A Baby With Flight Simulator

Flight Control HD is like stepping into a jet-liner in the early 1960's. A cute, shapely stewardess ushers you into the cabin of the chrome-clad fuselage. Inside the air is fresh and cool, the seats are plush and capacious, Brubeck jazzes out lightly from the speakers above, and in the back a slick-haired suit shakes up icy cocktails. Finding your seat, you relax, sip your drink, and enjoy the ride.

Holidays and games part 2

Today we have a treat (or not depends on how you feel about the book) for all of our Jewish readers. Hershel and the Hanukkah goblins by Eric Kimmel and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman will always have a place in my heart. While I'm not Jewish, it was one of my earliest exposures to Hanukkah and it had goblins.

Braid, or "the ingenuous platformer wrapped in a strange and brooding relationship narrative"

Tis "the season"! While some of your friends here at NAC! will be dishing out festive holiday-themed writeups, I have more of my typical fare in store for you. I was lucky enough to have been gifted the Humble Indie Bundle 2 this year by Spooky's better half. Amongst the awesome independently developed games jammed into this pay-what-you-want-jam-pack, one title really stuck out to me: Braid.

Holidays and games part 1.

In 1984, just in time for the holiday season Rimbot Games released Silent Night Deadly Night on the Atari 2600. The game is based on the popular slasher flick released in the same year. In this retro classic you play as Denise, a girl who just wanted to have sex with her boyfriend Tommy on Christmas eve. But a noise has interrupted their fun time, thinking it was the cat she goes to investigate. Is that Santa Claus? Nope Denise, that's Billy a crazed killer and you've been naughty, RUN!

DCUO Beta Journal 12/17/2010

So, my original intent was to play some DC Universe Online and write multiple updates over the course of my time spent with the game. I ended up getting incredibly engrossed and spending more and more time playing my Hero to the point I forgot to even write an update. I'm now level 18. The level cap for the beta is currently level 20. I have played a lot of this game and there is still lots more to do. This article will be spent detailing character creation and my first impressions of the beta. I haven't played a villain yet so I can't get into that and I'll save it for another update.

The game opens with an awesome heroes versus villains cinematic that you may or may not have seen before. It's pretty epic. I've embedded it below. Take that into your eye sockets. Enjoy.

Again it happens?!

Yes, Virginia, there is inconsistency! I'll be pushing Evolution Of Gaming back again for a couple reasons. But before I explain why I would like to thank everyone on the site and the readers for riding with me on my schizophrenic article tour. I plan out all of these article and then other ideas pop up or something else comes up that I feel is relevant and want to mention.

Parasite Eve, are you going to become Square's next bitch?

Parasite Eve is a video game series that is based off of a book with the same title. The series is quirky and kind of unsettling. Parasite Eve 1 was mostly a Japanese RPG with an awesome battle system. It was a pseudo real time system that allowed you to dodge enemy attacks and then when you make actions, it pauses everything until you finish it. It truly was one of the best battle systems for a PS1 RPG. While Parasite Eve 2 decided to borrow the system from the Resident Evil games, and this angered many fans. However, doing this actually made the game a bit more scary, since the first one was definitely not very scary at all.
