Hard F’n Games

We all know that some games can come off as challanging, but then there are some games that are so difficult or frustrating that they have resulted in broken controllers or worse. After cleaning up my apartment, I came across a couple of my old NES games, and some of these games made me so frustrated due to their challange. I’m gonna unearth these games and start doing some reviews to see if they really are worthy of being a “Hard F’n Game” Post your experiences below on what hard games you have encountered during your lifetime of gaming.

HGO Cryovat

HGO has collected a lot of footage over the years, and not all of it has seen the light of day. So we figured why not have new video segments to show previously unaired material. Some of you old school PC gamers out there might remember Syndicate Wars, an isometric action game where you controlled cybernetic agents to carry out daring (and almost always violent) task to further the cause of your corporation. In between the action the players would be able to allocate research in the Labs for better weapons and devices, or go to the Cryovat to store or thaw unused agents. Thus “Cryovat” was born, what a fitting name for a segment for us to showcase all the media that we’ve had in “cold storage”. Please continue to check back throughout the month to see what we dig up.
