A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
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 […]
Mirror Mirror On the Wall – Before jumping into Mirror of Fate’s 10 hour quest, it might be best to remove any preconceived notion you have the Castlevania series. Thing is, it is not a new Symphony of the Night, nor is it Lords of Shadow, and it isn’t quite like the games in the […]
Colorful But Confusing – Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 was created for fans of the Naruto series. Gameplay is straightforward enough that any player can button mash through the campaign, but only gamers with extensive Naruto knowledge will actually understand what the hell is going on. The biggest downfall is the overabundance of storytelling. These non-interactive […]
Building A Mystery – The Legend of Zelda is one of the most beloved video game franchises of all time.

In fact, the overarching storyline […]

Often working alongside Twin Galaxies, this annual publication is a place where hardcore gaming fanatics, developers, and publishers can be honored for their fastest times, highest scores, and all around gaming dedication. The book is broken down […]
Dead On – Metal Gear Rising has had a rough development cycle. Starting in-house, Kojima Productions was having difficulty locking down the overall design of Raiden’s first solo adventure so instead passed off development responsibilities to the action fanatics at Platinum Games of Madworld, Vanquish, and Bayonetta fame. The end result is not a typical […]
Players Go Down The Hole – The Cave is a puzzle adventure game designed by Ron Gilbert of Manic Mansion and Monkey Island fame. Like his other classic adventure titles, the player chooses three of seven different playable characters each with a unique backstory and special ability. Once a team of three has been assembled, […]
And Oldie But Goodie – The developers at PopCap are masters at designing easy-to-learn games that are highly addicting and ideal for the faster gameplay of the mobile environment. Bejeweled gives Tetris a run for its money thanks to the mesmerizing match-three gameplay and Peggle has more addictive qualities than the illegal drug market. Plants […]
Stereo Only – Skullcandy’s original wired gaming headset, the SLYR, has been upgrade to the wireless PLYR2 model. While this new wireless model adds convenience by cutting the cord and is solidly constructed, serious gamers will probably look elsewhere because of the mere stereo-only sound. The PLYR2 carries a nice presentation and comfortable fit. The […]
