Another month, another update! ABC Challenge: 5/27 Beaten
Well, seems like I actually did fight against my backlog this month. I finished an amazingly small total of 11 games!
And then I realize I bought 3 bundles last week. :( send help I’m addicted.
Either way, 11 games are 11 games, so here is the regular table:

The Monthly Small Reviews (Warning: Probably not good!)
12 is Better Than 6
I can only recommend this one. Hotline Miami mixed with some sort of Cowboy/Mexican/Indian storyline? Count me in! This game is kinda difficult and has a pretty good story line, so playing this is worth it.
Another World
Well, this is kinda a mixed bag. The game is pretty good, but considering it's already damn old and really buggy, I don't know if I can recommend it, It's a remaster, with (as far as I know) only some upgraded graphics but the same story, so if you already played the original one, it might not be worth it. The game was not very clear on how to progress further, but I guess this is from it being old. What wasn't really excusable, was the fact that this game crashes way too much. I'm pretty sure it crashed at least 8 times and this became very annoying very quickly.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
This is a great game, but it got kind of boring at the end. Story was okay, and I could follow it pretty easily, even though I never watched anything LOTR related (I know I know, please don't kill me D:) At the end I just rushed the story missions, but I still think it was a lot of fun to play.Westerado: Double Barreled
This was my "Well this Game is Surprisingly Good!" of the month. I played it a bit before, but gave up long before finishing it. After starting it again, I'm sure I beat it in one session. It was so fun to play! I never played something like it before, a pixelated 2D Western Shooter, and it was great. Gunplay felt good, story was interesting and it took just long enough to keep me engaged. If anything, I definitely recommend this one the most.Well that wraps things up, if anyone is still reading, I hope it gave some motivation to also beat your backlog! I hope I will have the time to play some stuff next month too, and see you in the next update!
I never watched anything GoT related, so I know what you mean, when you say “don’t kill me for not knowing the LotR movies” ;D
Sad that Another World crashed on you all the time. I had no such problems with the game. The remaster is only graphical, yes. And I think the only reason to play the game is to experience the way games worked about 25 years ago. With – as you said – next to no help where to continue (although, there are more modern games that work the same way), and the mechanics and artstyle and story-telling with all its flaws. But apart from being an interesting exhibit in the “history of video games” section, I didn’t enjoy the game to much either.
Looking at page source, I can’t find the ChangeMe5 div.. can you see it?
Well seems like that is exactly what I broke hehe. I’m not good with the HTML stuff and I copied this from someone else, but knowing this now will make my next post even better! Thanks for your help :)
it’s not that hard.. you’ll learn it eventually ^_^
if you don’t need that 5th element, you can delete that
<li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#" data-target="#ChangeMe5">5</a></li>and it will disappear :)if you instead need to add it, put a
<div id="ChangeMe5" class="tab-pane fade"> \*your content here\* </div>inside the <div class="tab-content">.Well, I (finally) fixed my post by deleting the fifth ChangeMe thing. (cause writing another review would be too much work :P) Thanks again for the help, and I will try to remember it for my next post!
You’re welcome :)
well, you could save a template somewhere with some memos here and there as many of us do ;)
