About Me
Hi little ones. My name is Andrés, I'm 21 and I've been playing computer games since I was 4. So probably I could kick your ass in a Wacky Wheels deathmatch.

The reason I decided to start this blog was that I have so much free time to waste, and I though that a excelent way of wasting time would be starting a blog of one the things a like the most... so here I am.

-Preferred games: RPGs (specially SRPG) and Adventures (classic style)
-Crap I don't like: MMORPG (they are like drugs and I don't like drugs) and most of the driving games
-Now playing: Phoenix Wright 3, Front Mission DS, Contra 4 (yes, I only have my DS here in Holland)
-Desiring so bad: SMT: Persona 3, The Nomad Soul, somethin else...

Sanitarium, short review
Gorgoncete | 3:13 AM on 12.28.2007 4 comments


Hello everyone, I'm very busy these days because of the chritmas stuff and a few video games I had on the library waiting for me. One of these games was Sanitarium and since I've always read good things about it I decided to play it first... and it was a very good decision.



Old School adventure flavour, gore and scary elements, serious and dark plot and excelent 2D graphics. These are some of the things you are going to find in Sanitarium. I don't know what do you think, but in my opinion all these things I mentioned are just perfect for a good adventure. Purple talking tentacles and three headed monkeys too... but that is another topic.
Also, the game is not too long, which is good, because as I've said I don't have much time (I hate these games so damn long that you end totally bored of them).

I'm not going to tell you nothing about the plot because is one of the most interesting things in the game. But I'm going to give you an advice: play it. Well, I'm going to give you two advices: if you play it on Windows XP you should disable your DirectDraw option, otherwise the game will frequently crash.



Conclusion: Play it!

You will like it:
- If you like adventures
- If you like "dark" games
- If you like good games

You will dislike it:
- If you are a graphic whore
- If you don't like adventures games
- If you hate because of my grammar

PS: Sorry for the crappy grammar. I try my best. I'm studying english on my own because in the school I've learned a shit. Peace.

Yeah! One of the most underrated adventure games ever! And psychadelic to boot!

This is one of those gaming gems that was horribly overlooked due to the time of its release. It's definitely worth playing.

It looks a lot like Fallout. Kind of a strange setup for an adventure game. Maybe I'll check it out sometime.
