A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Contra Re-Lite – Back in 2009, Konami launched a couple of Rebirth games on Nintendo’s WiiWare service: Contra and Castlevania Adventure. Unfortunately, WiiWare did not receive the success or recognition as compared to PSN or XBLA so there is a good chance these revival titles were overlooked. Contra Rebirth is the same classic run-and-gun action […]
Doesn’t Teach New Tricks – Outside of some VR Missions, players are given the opportunity to jump into the shoes of Jetstream Sam and now Blade Wolf, the AI controlled pooch that seeks, and questions, freedom. But this new Blade Wolf add-on has a lot in common with Sam’s side mission; it is a lazy […]
Silent But Deadly – Over the last few years, I had the privilege of experiencing Das Keyboard’s Professional and Model S Professional Silent units. Both are outstanding typist keyboards that remain impressive from the first key stroke. Listening to customer feedback, the developers now offer their same Professional keyboard design but outfitted with their new […]
It Burns So Good – Nintendo’s tactics-based fan favorite has been strategizing fans for over two decades. Awakening not only builds on the success of previous entries while introducing new gameplay elements to make this entry one of the most accessible and entertaining yet, it also stands as one of the best games on the […]
Pretty But Repetitive – Released back in October 2012, Liberation Maiden was the first game to be released in the GUILD01 series of games, preceding Aero Porter and Crimson Shroud. Suda51 of No More Heroes and Lollipop Chainsaw fame has brought AAA production values to this downloadable title but gameplay falls short with repetition. It […]
Droid Powered – GEN has turned the little green Android mascot into a USB charger. Outside of its charming presentation it is still just a portable charging device that will speak to Android owners if they are willing to pay the extra cuteness tax. Comes with all you need This novelty item comes with everything […]
What’s That Fishy Smell? – Despite this series having a long and respected gaming history, Super Black Bass 3D is an unplayable and incomplete mess. It takes too much time to do anything from navigating menus to reeling in your line, has little to no sense of accomplishment, has hideous visuals, and doesn’t even function […]
Joining the Darkside – Jetstream Sam is the first batch of DLC for Metal Gear Rising outside of some free VR Missions. Unfortunately, instead of getting an inside peek on one of Revengeance’s most interesting characters, Jetstream Sam is an attempt to earn an immoral buck from diehard fans. Thanks to the notoriously slow Playstation […]
A Saturday Morning Cartoon – Building off the success of last year’s Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure, Skylanders Giants uses the same model of gameplay and even the same toys to give youngsters an approachable dungeon crawling romp. The Skylanders series is unlike anything else out there because the game uses physical toys digitally. From the USB […]
Flying Closer To The Sun – Back in March 2012, Nintendo released Kid Icarus as part of their revival 3D Classics series. If fans pre-ordered Kid Icarus Uprising, a download code for Pit’s original adventure was rewarded or 3DS users can download this game for $6 via the eShop. However, Nintendo is currently including this […]
