There's a pervasive plainness to Escape Dead Island that hasn’t been common since the PlayStation 2 days. This zombie joins the list of competent yet unremarkable third-person survival adventures like , using newly acquired grappling hooks and other gear turns a 15-minute trek into a five minute stroll. You can tell this was inspired by the best Metroid and Castlevania games, but the application of these influences feels lazy and trite.

The only reason you might want to go off the beaten path would be to hunt for collectables, and even those items offer scant insight on the cause of the infection. In the interest of a thorough investigation, Cliff's colleague in crime, Linda, asks him to take photos of newsworthy locales and objects, but since obtaining a complete collection of photos doesn't yield anything worthwhile, this side mission carries little value.

As an origin tale, Escape Dead Island is hampered by an issue common to the zombie genre: the appeal of the narrative focusing on the characters' day-to-day survival, combined with little attention being given to finding a remedy to stop the outbreak. When I finished Dead Island three years ago, I wasn't compelled to scour forums to theorize the root causes of the infection. There was enough exposition by game's end and whatever mysteries were left unsolved left me feeling indifferent. Despite my profound apathy regarding making sense of Cliff's hallucinations and dreams, there was at least some satisfaction in silently assassinating the undead.

Its a gift that will last longer than any pillowcase full of candy or Fireball-induced hangover its the Gameboy Advance Castlevania trilogy."

NWR: "Harmony of Dissonance, the second of the three GBA Castlevania games, was hailed as Koji Igarashis return to the series. Clearly not impressed with Circle of the Moon, Igarashi brought the whole concept back to Symphony of the Nightto the point where many enemies and bosses from that game make cameos, and the games second half takes place in an inverted castle. Many background effects from Symphony return, and the equipment system seems lifted wholesale as well."

NWR: "Castlevania for Nintendo 64 was the first entry into the third dimension for a series that was legendary in the 2D world. It marked the beginning of an eternal struggle for the series to bring to 3D what made the 2D games so great. One aspect left unchanged in the transition to 3D is the story. Draculas has reappeared once again and its up to Reinhardt Schneider, the heir to the Belmont family, and the magically gifted orphan, Carrie Fernandez, to stop Dracula. At the start fo the game, players can chose between either of these leading characters."
