Summer Carnival ’92 – Recca Review
Platforms: Famicom and 3DS Virtual Console On the very rare occasion, we get a nice treat on Nintendo’s Virtual Console. We saw some games that never saw a release in North America come to the Wii through the service, giving people a chance to play them without spending a good chunk of change on importing […]
Dragon Fantasy Book Two Review
Platforms: PC, Android, iOS, Playstation 3 (reviewed), and Vita (reviewed) I reviewed Dragon Fantasy: Book One earlier this year. While I enjoyed my time with it, the “swing and a miss” battles sucked a bit of my enjoyment out of it. Hoping for something a bit more brisk this time around, I sat down with Dragon […]
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified Review
Platforms: PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 (reviewed) You really do have to feel for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. It suffered through such a tumultuous development, that it’s almost amazing it made it into the wild at all. Chris Plante over at Polygon wrote a really interesting piece about how it came to be in the […]
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Review
Platforms: Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (reviewed) I’d have thought you crazy if you were to tell me that the same studio responsible for The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was going to make a game that would affect me emotionally more than any other game released this year. Brothers: A […]
Stealth Inc.: A Clone in the Dark Review
Platforms: Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita (reviewed), PlayStation 4, iOS Stealth Inc.: A Clone in the Dark (formerly known as Stealth Bastard on PC) is a game that tries to blend platforming, puzzle solving and stealth into a challenging, yet accessible package and for the most part, it does just that. […]
Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 Review
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (reviewed), iOS, Android It is summer time and we know all know what that means. No, I’m not talking about burning alive in the hot sun or possible death from heat stroke. Well those are legitimately answers as well, but I’m talking specifically about a new Magic: The […]
The Last of Us Review
Platform: Playstation 3 Sometimes a game comes along and takes my feelings about it on a rollercoaster ride. The Last of Us did that so much, that I very nearly stopped playing altogether a few times. I didn’t understand the hype and adoration it was getting. I really felt like I was missing something, but […]
State of Decay Review
Platform: Xbox 360 Every once and a while, a game goes completely under the radar before it finds itself on either physical or digital shelves. State of Decay fell into that category when I turned on my 360 a couple of weeks ago to see what was new. After playing the demo, I was convinced […]
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review
Platforms: PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 (reviewed) Blood Dragon is quite the sales pitch for Far Cry 3. While the first two Far Cry games didn’t do much that I felt like latching onto them, I never even gave the third entry a try. After putting in six or eight hours into Blood Dragon, I […]
Dragon Fantasy: Book One Review
Platforms: PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Playstation 3 (reviewed) and Playstation Vita (reviewed) If you tend to avoid iOS games, there’s a good chance you had never heard of Dragon Fantasy prior to it coming to PSN. Dragon Fantasy is a tribute, right down to its namesake, to older Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy (see what […]
