After getting nestled in the GameCube era for too long, I decide to go way back and take a look at the first Leisure Suit Larry title. I go through some of the mechanics of the game, and also look at the issue of Larry's blatant misogyny. I also look at whether Leisure Suit Larry deserved to be labeled as a misogynistic game because of his heavy-handed advances towards women.

Marcus Estrada writes: "Red Awakening is a pretty cool neon-infused, bloody, stealth horror game. It's because of that unique concept and visual design that I immediately recalled that the game was originally brought to Kickstarter back in April. It failed back then, and has since returned for another go at funding. There's not a thing wrong with that. After all, many great campaigns were finally funded thanks to a second launch. The issue, as I see it, is a simple lack of transparency. At no point does this current campaign mention their previous attempt at crowdfunding or what they learned from that failure."

Checkpoint Ahead: "Im a PlayStation gamer through and through. The first console I ever owned was a PlayStation. The first game I ever owned was NCAA 99 and playing it made me realize that I was not a fan of sports games. After begging my dad to take me to the game store I finally convinced him to buy me what I considered my real first PlayStation experience: Final Fantasy VIII. I was blown away. It was a real story and it had deep gameplay mechanics. Figuring it out how it all worked was the most rewarding experience I had as a gamer."
