Neue Rezensionen von Jessica Ann

Ever want to yell with your cursor? Rock out to an epic banger that you have no choice but to listen to? Be annoyed at the tiniest bit of lag?

Then NERTS! Online is for you.

Yes, you could play it at home, with your family and friends and a couple decks of cards. You might even call it something else- Dutch Blitz, Perpetual Commotion, Nertz. But, do you really have family? Or friends? Or do you only have internet strangers in your life? Be real with yourself.

Play NERTS! Online.

This is a solid representation of the basic Gloom card game. Sadly, it's so slow that it makes it very boring. Turning on quick play made it a smidge faster, but it still was too slow to be fun and killed the atmosphere that makes Gloom good.

At one point, three quarters of the way through a game, I was suddenly unable to play untimely deaths. That forced me to quit a game I was winning. I was so frustrated I quit the game out completely.

Listen, most of the fun of Gloom is the stories you tell while playing cards on the characters. Save yourself the money from buying the digital version and get the physical game to play with your slightly morbid friends, you'll be happier.

Ticket to Ride is a great game with plenty of replayability. There's no one set strategy to playing, which makes online play fun and engaging. Most of the players online are speedy and will play through the entire game, even if they're losing.

The addition of achievements has added some of the fun into playing with bots back into the game, even for long time players like me.

Pick this game up, with a few map packs, while it's on sale! Or not on sale, it's not a bad price for the amount of playability this game has, if you're a fan of board games.

I wish there was more to the story. The campaign was very short for the cost of this game. True, there is a ginormous amount of replayability, but the only reason to go through the campaign again is to beat it on higher difficulties for achievements.

The puzzles are difficult enough that you aren't going to breeze through the game, but aren't so difficult that you'll rage quit the game completely. Even after you restart a level, the layout change is enough to keep the difficulty fresh.

Oh, and there's a typo in one of the missions in Jakarta in campaign mode.

The game takes a few hours to run through, which is perfect for the price.

100% completion however? That'll take a bit longer, if only there were ever other people online to play with. It's a game that almost requires other people in order to be played properly.

Old, but hilarious.

What is with the acting? And the horrible graphics? AND I HAVE TO TYPE?! I JUST WANT TO SHOOT THINGS! Come on, people! A zombie game where I'm not allowed to call them zombies?! What kind of fresh hell is this? And, I'm sorry, is it possible to have women in video games who are decently covered and without massive, gravity-defying perky boobs? I just don't get it. There are so many things that could have been done right in this game that are done wrong.

And don't get me started on Issac Washington, who can't complete a sentence without cursing. It's despicable.

This game is great if you like any of the above things. Also, it's campy as hell.
