Freeware Pick: Open Hexagon

I came across this game by accident while cruising around YouTube with my Son. I have been a huge fan of Terry Cavanagh for many years, so of course I was familiar with Super Hexagon.

Open Hexagon is unique in that, it is not just a clone of Super Hexagon, though make no mistake, it is a clone at heart, it also leaves the door open for user generated content. And thus, unlike its original parent game, it has many many expansions available with good music and creative levels for users to enjoy.

After going back to the original Super Hexagon, I find that this clone version has a lot less visual
interference and is thus easier to play. But that's just my opinion.

DWTerminator Reviews Quake II Mission Packs

I never could quite dig in with Quake II as much as I did with the original, but I always thought it was a good game. We are talking about the squeal to my favorite game in the history of video games.

DWTerminator breaks down the two commercial expansions packs for Quake II, which are both available on Steam and regularly go on sale for very cheap.

I don't necessarily agree with all of DWTerminator's points, especially that Quake II was a primarily single player experience, but It was really nice to hear someone break these two packs down who has obviously played them both through.

This video is a little on the old side, originally uploaded in 2012, but this channel is still active and this video earned my subscription. Enjoy!

Catch all the wonderful deep thoughts at the SuperMegaComics website.
