Game Reviews

When I took off for the first time in Fast Racing Neo, the new game by indie developer Shin'en for the Wii U, the world sped passed and I was blown away by the sheer...

The Christmas holidays have passed and New Years Eve soon knocks on the door. I am personally not ready to say goodbye to Christmas yet, however. How can I prolong the joyful spirit of this...

Krillbite Studio is no stranger to putting players in the role of characters who are fragile and smaller than the world around them. The Plan was an experiment in what would happen as a fly if you...

If Japanese Role Playing Games are your favorite type of game to play, then Nihon Falcom's Legends of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel for the PS3 and PSVita is a great game to pick up...

Christmas is closing in and as I sit inside hoping for snow instead of rain, I remember the good old days when I swam around in the ocean as Ecco The Dolphin on my Sega...

There's definitely something special and unique happening over at Crazy Monkey Studios, the team behind Guns, Gore and Cannoli. It's obvious even from the game's absurd and whimsical name: the title Guns, Gore and Cannoli...

December is somewhat known unofficially as a “dead month” in the professional reviewers circuit. Despite Christmas being around the corner, and money being flung around at profiteers in the hopes of buying happiness in the...

We've seen a multitude of P.T. clones with the news of Silent Hills being cancelled. This is a meaningful sacrifice with the likes of Allison Road and Routine coming out next year, and others have...

Just Cause 2 is one of my favorite open world games. The exploration, the raw action, the personality; I loved it. However, when I heard about Just Cause 3, I honestly didn't care much -- Up...

A few weeks ago I reviewed Rodea The Sky Soldier for the Nintendo 3DS. Despite its problems, I could spot a nice game hidden behind the portable mess. After reviewing the game, I could not help...

Aahh, Global conquest-- there is just something so wonderful about building a nation from a couple of peasants throwing rocks at each other into an economical, diplomatic, and military powerhouse. It is easy to see...

It’s hard to think of anything to say about Earth Defense Force that hasn’t already been said a hundred times over. It’s the kind of game series that doesn’t really innovate in any amazing ways...

I'm forever astounded at pop-culture's ongoing ability to get something as lively, petty, and ridiculous as Norse Mythology and then scoop out anything that couldn't appear in anything less than an 18 rating or is...

I am an animal lover; I love taking care of cats, dogs, horses, and Tamagotchis. Whether an animal needs food, a bath, or wants to play, I am there to help. This why I feel compelled...

The Dynasty Warriors franchise has been around since 1997. Originally appearing as a traditional fighting game on the first Playstation, it has evolved into a series that almost everyone moderately involved in games recognizes. When...

Dragon Fin Soup falls into the category of games that have enormous potential but fall mightily short. An action role-playing game from independent studio Grimm Bros., the downloadable title was a big hit earlier this...

The Fallout series has graced gamers with vastly open, war-torn landscapes and engaged players in extreme combat situations, complex survival style gameplay, and intelligent RPG elements. This has been the formula since the games were viewed from a...

Cardinal Quest 2 has been out on smartphones for some time. I love Rogue-like games, so I have been itching to try it out for some time, but its mobile-only status turned me off. Now it has...

I have always wondered what the life of a stickman would be like. These thin dudes have been around in the flash game universe for a long time, experiencing all kinds of adventures. I myself...

Stealth is one of the most difficult video game genres to nail. Art, coding of AI, and the profound sense of wonder within a lifelike puzzle come together to make something entirely unique. Whole triple...

Wow, that was quick! I blinked, and suddenly three episodes have appeared in just over a month. Since the prior review I had begun to think about episodes 1 and 2, which I had a bad...

Invisible, Inc. was a game I found interesting with its design, concept, and mechanics. We were given a point and click, turn based stealth exploration adventure with RTS and RPG elements. I rather enjoyed the...

There’s little focus, or that personal edge, to multiplayer games anymore. The concept of 1v1 competitive gaming has been lost to the likes of Worms but it could be coming back. Mayan Death Robots could...

Oh JRPGs... you're like cider... you lure me into your sweet lair with delicious promises of comfort, laughter and an easy-going time. Then...then...then it just goes horribly wrong. All the people begin to grind on...

I've really looked forward to playing the heck out of Hard West, as it falls neatly in a niche sub-genre called weird west. Imagine all the bravado, masculinity and arrogance of a western, sucked out...

Rodea The Sky Soldier had a crazy development cycle. Yuji Naka finished his new game back in 2011, but for some reason Kadokawa Games did not localize it. Time has since passed, and the game...
