Hi everyone and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I talk about all the games I've been playing this week, whether they blew me away or were a complete and utter letdown. There have been some big releases this week, but not really games I get excited about, so this will be a bit scant compared to other weeks. A lot of developers are also at the Game Developers Conference, so…
Urban Legend: Shin Hayarigami (Blindman) By: I-Play.Co.,Ltd. I admittedly knew very little about Urban Legend: Blindman before trying it, but the premise sounded interesting to me. It's a murder mystery horror game in the form of a visual novel, with the murderer apparently being an urban legend called Blindman. It starts off promising, with a disturbing image of a man tied up and begging for his life before someone uses scissors to…
Death Coming By: Sixjoy Hong Kong Limited The Next Studio's Death Coming has a really clever premise and I was enjoying it for a while. The idea is, you died and now have to become a reaper (yes, kind of like Dead Like Me). But instead of just reaping specific people, your goal is to kill everyone in a scene. You don't have to do so in order to pass a level,…
Fortnite By: Epic Games If you've been following me for a while, you probably know that I'm not a fan of free-to-play (F2P) monetization that change the nature of a game by penalizing you for failing and/or give a leg up to those who spend real cash. The App Store is filled with games like this, whether it's paying for extra lives or moves in a game like Candy Crush Saga, consumable…
Fortnite By: Epic Games Last night, I got my Fortnite iOS invite from Epic Games, only a few days after I signed up for one. I was expecting a TestFlight invitation, the app that allows developers to give players access to a game before it's released. I didn't realize that instead it would allow me to download the game directly from the store and then just log in with my Epic account.…
#WarGames By: Sam Barlow & Eko Full confession: I watched the original WarGames for the first time after finishing the new #WarGames series it inspired. The new Eko interactive series by Her Story's Sam Barlow uses some clips from the 1983 movie, as well as some other references to it, so I wanted to be in on the joke, so to speak. After watching it, I don't think it's necessary for the…
The Witness By: Thekla, inc. I don't usually give individual game sales their own posts these days, but a deal like this needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Jonathan Blow's The Witness debuted for $40 on PC, and cost only $9.99 when it made its way over to iOS. So that was already a great deal for a game that was one of my favorite games of 2017. But now it's…
Hi everyone and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss the games I've been playing over the last seven days. This has been a weird week, because playing a new game made me go back and give an older game another chance, then quit it again in a fit of rage, then pick it up and play more. So if you're wondering why there aren't more games on this list,…
