Thirty Flights of Loving (PC)

Someone figured out how to do jump cuts in the Quake 2 engine and made 2 demo levels of nothing but. There’s so little here I’m almost offended I had to pay for it, meanwhile game reviewers and players lined up to suck the developer’s cock like it holds the cure. Average score: 9/10. This […]

Video Review: Diablo 1&2 by the Cable Bruddas

Seven years ago I did a thread on a different forum about what I thought the 100 best games were. It looks terribly out-dated now, and it didn’t include pinball games. That being said, I had Diablo in the top 100, but I didn’t go back and play it to confirm that information at the […]

Video Review: Diablo 3 and Torchlight by the Cable Bruddas

Sometimes it’s nice to destroy every living creature in a dungeon without having to remember that the Polish octal characters on your screen translates to pink dragon. Two such games are Diablo 3 and Torchlight. Here’s what I like about these video reviews: the Cable Bruddas (twin gamers bred specifically to game and game well) […]

Video Review: Grand Theft Auto 1&2 by the Cable Bruddas

The original Grand Theft Auto games had a top-down perspective that faked 3D pretty well. It wasn’t until Grand Theft Auto 3 that everyone’s world changed and parents again had to wonder if video games were going to call out a lot of their shitty parenting. But what of those two original GTA games? They […]

Rayman Origins (PC)

Easily one of the best 2D platformers ever. Artwork is absolutely gorgeous. Music is also pretty great (for a cartoon) and catchy, although some tracks are completely ruined because somebody thought there was anything redeemable about Yoshi’s Story. I hate to sound like I’m making excuses, but the real challenge [*fine oak pipe*] is in […]

Video Review: Super Mario 64 by the Cable Bruddas

Jsoh and Jhoh Cable are time men, men who go through time and tell you whether or not games stand the test of time. Since this isn’t 4chan, you can see their work without it being deleted almost fucking immediately. Here’s the Caltrops Test of Time review for Super Mario 64, for the Nintendo 64. […]

MELTED BRAIN #8: EVE ON-LINE

Editor’s note: The year is 2003. Web comic creator Roop Dirnup developed Melted Brain, a MMORPG-based strip that used, for the most part, actual posts by prospective MMORPG fans as comic dialogue. Thought lost in time, Caltrops will be posting a Melted Brain strip every Friday until we run out of strips. Click for the […]
