REVIEW – Defenders of Ardania (XBLA)
Defense Meets Offense Tower defense games are plentiful on both XBLA and iOS. However, Defenders of Ardania introduces a new key element to the tried-n-true defense formula: offense.

REVIEW – The House of the Dead III (PSN)
Shotgun Showdown It is nice of Sega to port The House of the Dead III to Sony’s downloadable service but the lack of extra features yield a very short limit on its otherwise entertaining action oriented gameplay. As a quick summary, The House of the Dead series is a lightgun franchise born in arcades and…
BLOG – Road Tripping
You know what is good about road trips? Handheld gaming. Whenever I fly or go anywhere longer than a day, I usually take my DS or PSP with me. I am excited because I am hoping to find an hour or two that I can play some backlog DS games that I picked up over…
