How Portal has Aged

Before you jump in, I have to warn you that this review is for the people who already beat Portal. I’m going to spice things up a bit since this game is far past its prime. If for some reason, you were living in a cave or you never jumped on the bandwagon, then this review will contain some major spoilers.

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Review

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

A review by Paul Gestl

Developer: Monolith Productions
Publisher: WB Games, Feral Interactive
Released on Sep 30, 2014

The realm of Middle Earth (crafted by JR Tolkien), has been home to the likes of grand adventures, fantastic beasts, and a number of great legends. The Shadow of Mordor certainly covers all of the above in its gritty, fantasy world-building.

Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is a favorite classic series starring two hobbits, Frodo and Sam, on a journey into Mordor, persuaded by Gandalf to destroy the One Ring.

Genre: Action-Adventure

What is the Steam Music Player?

The Steam Music Library

I may no longer be new to Steam, but I still haven’t found a use for the Steam Music Player. It’s supposed to be a music library meant to store your video game soundtracks. The music files are stored as MP3 files. It shares many similarities with iTunes. You can listen to soundtracks from your favorite games.

This may sound pointless, but it is a good way to listen to the OSTs without being under pressure from fighting a hard boss or trying to overcome a timed stage. If it is copyrighted, then it might not stay on YouTube. Buying soundtracks is the safe, legal option.
