What makes the horror genre special is how diverse it is, allowing for unique stories to still be told despite many already existing. Sure, people often think about slashers, but there’s so much more to the category, including paranormal, cosmic, Lovecraftian, body, and more. This wealth of options and creative expression extends to all mediums, including books, movies and video games.

Although I’ve admittedly never had much interest in the National Basketball Association, or other basketball leagues and tournaments, that hasn’t been the case with video games based on the sport. When I was a lot younger, I would often rent NBA Jam for my Super Nintendo, and spent a number of hours playing it solo and with friends. I also owned, and really liked NBA Street, as well as the first NBA Courtside with Kobe Bryant game for N64. Those aren’t the only ones I spent a decent amount of time with, but they’re the main titles of note.

Back in 1993, Trilobite and Virgin Interactive Entertainment released a notable game that you may have heard about. Perhaps you even played it at one point. Either way, that title was The 7th Guest — a puzzle game that used full motion video footage featuring real actors, who portrayed its characters. Back then, that was neat and cutting edge, but it didn’t age too well. Then again, we are talking about a game that released for DOS, and was one of the first to be issued on a CD-ROM.

When I first heard about Mouse: P.I. For Hire, I thought that it would be a decently fun game, but it ended up exceeding my expectations in a very pleasant way. Although we were denied a review code, I wanted to share my thoughts and help spread the word about how fun this game is. I bought it, and feel like the money was well spent, especially since it was hard to put the controller down, even when I needed to go out.

Sometimes things escape one’s radar, which is what happened with myself and the latest release from Square Enix, that being The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. As a result, it ended up being a nice surprise when I found out about it, and an even nicer one when I started playing it.
