While at PAX East this year gaminglives.com was handed a disc from a young guy who made his own game. Here is the review.
2011 has been one of the strongest years in recent memory as far as the quality of newly-available games is concerned. While titles such as Portal 2 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim have been grabbing headlines and praise, there have been plenty that deserve an equal amount of shunning.
Were you paying attention in history class? Remember that time when Thomas Edison sent his evil robots after American inventors George Westinghouse and Nikoli Tesla? Remember how Tesla created a device to control the weather and take out Edison and his robots? Remember how Mark Twain narrated it all?
No?
Well, that's to bad because that is exactly what Thoughtquake Studios' Tesla: The Weather Man is all about. (Okay, so maybe the game is a work of "comedic" fiction, but still...)
