A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Look At the Pretty Colors – The phrase “finding the right tool for the job” was probably coined decades if not even centuries ago. At the time, this tried-but-true phrase was probably geared towards hammers, lumber, or even hunting equipment. In modern times, however, this phrase can easily be applied to first-world problems such as […]
Flat, Black and Sexy – As mouse technology has significantly increased over the last several years, mousepads have seemingly become more irrelevant as laser and optic mice can be used on any surface. Whether you are using that old wrist-resting mousepad or just a desk’s wood surface, you cannot really understand the different of using […]
Adorable Visuals, Hollow Gameplay – Held sideways open book style, Cat Frenzy is a match-3 puzzler that mixes gameplay elements from Wario’s Woods, Bejeweled, and Meteos but puts the focus constantly on cuddly cute cat heads and touch screen sliding mechanics. The goal is to line up three of the same kitty faces on a […]
This week, Gillman and I play through a chunk towards the very start of the new, early access build, game FORCED. Sort of like Diablo, sort of like Geometry Wars, sort of a good time. Check it out! Watch live video from Varms on TwitchTV
Burn, Baby Burn – Candle Route is a Pied Piper puzzle game that uses the touch screen to guide a flame to a candle while gathering match sticks along the way. With child-like crayon graphics, light hearted personality, and a different take on the puzzle genre, this 200 Point ($2) download is worth a look […]
How Fast Can You Go – With two games available on DSiWare, the AiRace series has established itself as some of the better racing titles for Nintendo’s downloadable service especially with the low price point. This third game, AiRace Speed, is a natural evolution from the previous two titles and offers some twitch high speed […]
Getting Wound Up – Initially released back in the summer of 2009 on DSiWare, Nintendo is currently offering Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! as part of their September 2013 Club Nintendo program. What is normally an $8 downloadable title tastes even sweeter when it is free. Similar to the original GBA title and […]
Gillman and I attempt to do a review thing and play through about an hour of Total War: Rome II. Off topic, humorous, and oddly responding to a couple of people that jump into the chat, it is your Wednesday night stream! Watch live video from Varms on TwitchTV
They Are Not Robots And You Don’t Rescue Them – With two games already published on DSiWare, Robot Rescue 3D is a compilation title that combines all the content from the original games with some new stages under a “3D” title. Unfortunately, the tedious nature of this puzzle game often frustrates through trial and error […]
Same As the Sequel – Just like its sequel Heavy Fire: Black Arms 3D, Heavy Fire: Special Ops is a flawed Virtual Cop-type shooting gallery that offers a quick burst of fun for about 5-10 minutes. Black Arms 3D and Special Ops 3D are basically the same exact game only with new stages; they can […]
