The Resurgence of the Fairy Tale

07 February 2012

Fairy tales have been around for centuries and, for some of us, are massive parts of our childhoods. With numerous books, movies, and cartoons stocking store shelves it should be no surprise that the fairy tale is back and better than ever.

What Kalypso Could Add to Tropico 4

What Kalypso Could Add to Tropico 4

07 February 2012

Tropico 4, the latest offering in the series from Kalypso, launched a few months ago and has taken the simulation community by storm. After reading the review for the 360 version here on Marooners’ Rock, I knew I had to snag a copy since it sounded like a game I could easily spend hours upon [...]

Info Dump: Shoot Many Robots

06 February 2012

I like shooting robots. One of my favorite shooters of all time was 2010′s Vanquish, which primarily consists of shooting robots or humans enhanced by robotics. You may all be prepared for the zombie apocalypse, but I’m prepared for the far more likely robot uprising. You can understand, then, the anticipation I feel for any [...]

Marooners’ Talk: Episode 015 – “Final Fantasy Sequels Are Just Weird”

Marooners’ Talk: Episode 015 – “Final Fantasy Sequels Are Just Weird”

06 February 2012

I spent a good chunk of Friday evening and Saturday playing NeverDead. Sunday morning, I started working up plans with the missus to go play some mini-golf, because California is giving us t-shirt weather in February (suck it, places that have winter). Suddenly, I remember. “OH SHIT! PODCAST!” An email goes out to Adam, and [...]

Review: NeverDead (360)

Review: NeverDead (360)

06 February 2012

The best advice I can give you if you’re planning on playing NeverDead is not to take it too seriously. Sure, the subject matter may have some heavier elements to it…the burden of immortality, loss, demons, love…but in much the same way that you wouldn’t take Army of Darkness or Plan 9 from Outer Space seriously, [...]

Book Review: Ico: Castle in the Mist

Book Review: Ico: Castle in the Mist

05 February 2012

It seems like a cliche these days. Say the name of the game Ico and everyone expects praise. And by this point, everyone knows the idea of the minimalist game with beautiful design and a story that can be interpreted a myriad of ways. But what we’re talking about is one interpretation that was interesting [...]

Review: Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3)

Review: Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3)

03 February 2012

Since its humble beginnings on the NES, Final Fantasy has left an indelible mark in gaming, and that legacy has held strong for generations. Recently, the mantle of Final Fantasy has suffered from fan disappointment and a development strategy that can’t seem to decide between tradition and innovation. Although I was a tremendous fan of [...]

Review: The Simpsons Arcade (XBLA)

Review: The Simpsons Arcade (XBLA)

03 February 2012

I was a child of the arcades. I would spend my time and money gladly and without hesitation at any one of a number of arcades on any one of a number of cabinets. X-Men, Gauntlet, Time Crisis, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more have all played their part in draining me of the limited [...]

Trailer: Trials Evolution

Trailer: Trials Evolution

02 February 2012

One of the best examples of quality in a downloadable game is Trials HD. The physics gameplay is fantastic, giving your motorbike a great feeling of weight, while the controls allow you to control that weight masterfully. As you spin your way through the perilous obstacle courses, you get a feeling reminiscent of your first [...]

About Marooners’ Rock

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
