Detective: The Motel Xbox Series X Review 4.5/10 "A Motel That Could Use a Lick of Paint" 🔎🏨 #GameDev #IndieGame @K148_GS @JanduSoft

A game made by a solo developer, Detective: The Motel puts you in the well-trodden shoes of a detective that has arrived at a roadside motel to solve a murder. In order to complete your investigation, you are given a task sheet that lists 15 points that must be solved in order to close the case. 

You must discover key points such as the murderer, the victim, who the other tenants of the motel are, as well as which rooms in which they dwell. My initial thoughts were positive, yes the game felt very ‘asset-y’, there was minimal music (aside from the menu music which was reminiscent of Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy – good), and it was all set in a small building – but these are to be expected when a game is made on such a small budget, and these limitations can result in extremely tight, potent gameplay and narrative.

The First time I played Sonic the Hedgehog | Video Gaming Memories by Imraan Nazir 🎮 🧞 #RetroGaming #SuperNintendo

It was in the 90s when I first played Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Master System. I remember looking at the cover and thinking this must be a cool game. On the cover it had this cool looking blue hedgehog with red and white shoes and what looked like a bit of Green Hill Zone in the background. At the back of the cover it had screenshots of the game. I could not wait to play it. At this time Sonic was the new mascot for Sega. When I switched it on I heard the title screen intro and it sounded awesome.
