Hardcore Gamer: Wadjet Eye Games’ Blackwell series has developed an amazing following over the years. Since the release of The Blackwell Legacy in 2006, adventure game fans had a new point and click series to adore. They have followed it over the course of four games up to Blackwell Epiphany, the long-awaited fifth and final entry. There is a lot at stake with this game. Is it still an enjoyable experience or has it strayed too far off the path? Players should be overjoyed to know Blackwell Epiphany brings closure to the series in a very fitting way.
The Humble Wadjet Eye Games Bundle just launched. It includes 14 items including The Blackwell Legacy, Unavowed, and Primordia. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.

"As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. And so it must be with a fitting and touching conclusion to the Blackwell series. Over the course of five games, we've followed Rosa and Joey (quite literally) to hell and back. So to have their story finally wrapped up left me feeling conflicted in the best way possible."

This edition of Memorable Music in Gaming pulls from several different sources. A couple tend to be the usual suspects - well-known Nintendo titles for example. A pair of PC games and an arcade selection round things out nicely, however.
Darius (Arcade) - Captain Neo
Darius has always been ahead of its time: at time of release and even now, more than 20 years later. Its philosophical, bigger-than-itself feel and atmosphere is just as relevant as it was back in the day when games were just beginning to incorporate 'heavy' storylines in their pixelated playgrounds. An early example of avant-garde in video games, the original music composed for this game - titled Chaos - may perhaps be the well-remembered, but it's nothing compared to the powerful and hypnotically epic Captain Neo. If you've ever wondered how a Roman soldier would be in audio form, here's your answer!
Wow, really glad to hear this game turned out good.
