After the weekend, when it’s time to fire the Backlog machine up again, I’m usually a little bit disoriented. Spending even a couple of days away from a game has a tendency to make me lose track of where I am and what I was doing and has more than once caused the premature conclusion of my play.

Not so withSplatterhouse. I’m genuinely eager to get back in and bash some more skulls in. I can’t even explain it, since the game screams mediocrity in so many respects, but the simple joy of hitting things is very appealing right now.
