A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Higher Res But Not Complete – With consistent “just one more turn” gameplay, the Heroes of Might & Magic series has been causing addictive behavior in gamers for over 15 years. Heroes III was probably the most well-known and liked game in this strategy series which is why Ubisoft has taken the time to update […]
Keeping Them Safe – As part of the dying Club Nintendo program, one of the last physical gifts Nintendo has offered Club Nintendo members is a case that can hold up to 18 3DS or regular DS game carts. With three double sided covers that are interchangeable, the 400 Coin asking price is both highly […]
E-Sports – Giving literal definition to the term “e-sports,” #IDARB creates a new type of digital sport mixing in social media features that add creativity and frenzied humor to this unexpected electronic competition. #IDARB is a team-based side-scrolling sports title that blends basketball, hockey, Mario Bros., and soccer with Atari-like pixelated graphics. Like a multi-berry […]
Cashing In Your Coins – Nintendo, not normally known for creating DLC, has provided fans something special with Mario Kart 8 Pack 1. Not only is the fan service top tier but Nintendo has gone out of their way to create something extraordinary by introducing guest characters and stages from some of their other franchises. […]
Simplifying Zelda – With a new spin on the classic Zelda formula, Fairune is a retro action adventure that simplifies everything and is surprisingly well done. Fairune takes the combat and RPG leveling mechanics of the vastly overlooked and superbly addicting Witch And Hero, another Circle Entertainment game, but puts them into a Zelda-like overhead […]
Lost In Space – With a minimalistic approach, Renegade Kid’s Metroid-inspired Xeodrifter captures the soul of exploration with simple but charming gameplay. Outside of the short opening “oh no, my spaceship hit an asteroid” cutscene, there is no story to speak of, no menus to work through, and no button schemes to toggle. Just like […]
Retro Evolved Again – Taking the reins from Bizarre Creations, Lucid Games have evolved the twin stick shooter concept to a new level that feels like a true sequel instead of a simple rehashing of this leaderboard demanding formula. By adding 3D stages, new power-ups, boss battles, and online multiplayer, Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions pretty […]
The Legend of Zelda: Adventure Time – This is not the first time the Adventure Time series has ripped off The Legend of Zelda. 2012’s Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage was basically Zelda II: The Adventure of Link with an Adventure Time coat of paint. Now, Secret of the Nameless Kingdom is […]
Castle Siege – As a follow up to Castle Conqueror EX, Castle Conqueror Defender is a completely different type of game and retains Circle Entertainment’s impressive streak of creating low cost but highly entertaining eShop games. CCD is a tower defense title but is presented in a way that makes it unique. The right side […]
Brick By Brick – Now over 30 years old, Tetris is still fun to play today. Tetris Party, an exclusive WiiWare downloadable title released in 2008, and its boxed retail alternative Tetris Party Deluxe (Wii and DS) were the best Tetris titles in years, outfitted with tons of new game types, multiplayer options, and online […]
