A multiplayer, text, third-person shooter originally made for DOS, but I know it from Novell Netware.

I had a hell of a lot of fun with it. Perhaps it’s nostalgia which makes me stay so fond of it, but I think the fundamental gameplay still holds up today. I could easily imagine a great updated version of this but I have and still do see this same gameplay in all sorts of other top-down games.

A man wakes up naked with amnesia and seeks out his fiance from years ago.

Not great and not recommended. It’s got a shaky story and a weakly-portrayed world. Both the movie’s world and the film quality are particularly low. Its acting and speech are stiff.

In English, the title is Secret Wedding.

A warlord seeks to unleash the enemies of the gods to kill them.

While watchable, I would only recommend it to fans of the sword and sandal genre who can also stand the “quality” that Hollywood offers.

In a forest where any who die rise as zombies, an escaped convict does something something.

I got 1/3 in and got bored. It’s too over-the-top.

Blade meets other vampire hunters who are working against vampire plans to resurrect the progenitor vampire to try to make better vampires. Again.

A mediocre movie. For big fans of the first two, this is recommended. For people who found the first one okay and the second one merely passable, this can be safely skipped.

For fans of either of Jessica Biel or Ryan Reynolds, this is a look into their future movies.
