The Witcher: Enhanced, Expanded … and still for Adults
Posted on September 23rd, 2008 by
Last year I said in my review of The Witcher “I hope that The Witcher represents the future; it has plenty of combat, a deep skill system, nicely integrated alchemy and most importantly one of the best and deepest stories and quests ever written into a video game, as well as looking gorgeous throughout. Now that is something to strive for”. Now CDProjekt has released an ‘Enhanced Edition’ of the best RPG of 2007 that adds many small things and makes a compelling case to all those who have not yet purchased this true classic.

Game Review: Purr Pals (Wii)
Posted on September 16th, 2008 by
After a release on the Nintendo DS, the Purr Pals kitten simulator is now available for the Wii system. Like the DS version, players adopt a kitten and then must take care of it by feeding, grooming, and playing with it. Money awarded for proper kitten care and several minigames (a round of Cat Hero, anyone?) is used to buy food, kitty litter, toys, and a wide selection of kitty toys. The game is all the fun one would expect of a virtual kitten simulator. more…
Force Unleashed Content Reviews
Posted on September 15th, 2008 by
I promise, this is the last Force Unleashed coverage here at GamerDad. WhatTheyPlay now has my Xbox 360/PS3 and my Nintendo Wii reviews up and running. It’s violent, it’s T-Teen, it’s Star Wars, but it’s the Dark Side. It’s Lord Vader, it’s a dad-thing. Galen is sort of like Luke’s evil yet far less whiny twin. How does it feel being the one raised by Vader, rather than the one drinking blue milk with people who farm water vapor out of a desert. It’s a big galaxy you know, you could just do what civilizations have done since the dawn of everything – live near a river! Seriously though, what is Tatooine’s attraction other than the occasional Sarrlacc sighting, slavery, worm-like crime lords and “a wretched hive of scum and villany”?

So how does the team that last checked in with Supreme Commander handle the transition to making an action-RPG in space? more…
Retrospective: Mysteries of the Sith (PC, 1998)
Posted on September 9th, 2008 by
While in theory this could be game could have been called Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith expansion, fortunately it was just called Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith and is easily abbreviated as MotS. It was released in early 1998, a mere four months after the release of a game still marked as one of the best first-person shooters of all time, and despite getting lower reviews than that game it remains a fan favorite and a standout release for an expansion pack. Yes, and since it was released ten years ago, I have taken another run through the game and looked back at MotS for the next entry in my Retrospective series.
