Indie game day!

With that out of the way, I would like to look over the Indie series, Penumbra. Best known for the game Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Frictional Games created this masterpiece back in 2007 and boy was I looking forward to it. Going through this game made games, such as, F.E.A.R., Condemned, and even the companies later release Amnesia feel like a cake walk. I had trouble getting through this game as I could only play it in 5 minute bouts, early in the morning. After completing the first game, you'll find yourself forced to play the sequel, and you will not beat it. No matter how hard I try I can't get myself to finish the sequel as I pretty much piss myself. Don't call me a pussy until you beat all three games, because this stuff is absurd!

Sorry if this is not as well written as the others, I just wanted to get something out and I'm in a bit of a rush.
Until next time, I will recommend anyone looking for a nice game to purchase these games at

Diablo I: Exploring the catacombs |
Diablo II on the other hand has five characters to adventure with in the vanilla version, with an added two in the expansion. Still keeping its random generations of gear and maps the major change is in skills. The original game having a skill book system where every character had the same skills, Diablo II now has a skill tree system (similar to WoW as I'm told) where each character has their own individual techniques.

On another topic:
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in Magic: The Gathering blogs/Dungeons & Dragons story blogs as those are both non-video game things I absolutely adore.
