Video Game Review: Cactus Game Arcade

Hey, everybody! Tom Russell has returned to Monitor Duty. And while I’ve been busy the last year or so with filmmaking and other goodies, and while I have absolutely no shame about yapping about them as often as possible, I thought I’d start off with something useful: a game review, the first of hopefully many.

This is actually a review I originally wrote for my game design magazine, Russell’s Quarterly, edited slightly (and sans my fifteen original footnotes). It should give you a fairly good idea of the way I write game reviews so that as I review more games, both freeware and commercial, you’ll know what to expect.

This particular collection of games was created by Jonatan Soderstrom, a.k.a. Cactus, already a legend in the indie gaming world and most recently celebrated for his zany presentation at this year’s GDC.

(You can download this and other games from Cactus’s site.)
