A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Over the last generation of consoles, publishers and developers have been shipping games without instruction manuals. Some might call this tactic lazy or “going green” but either way it has become a lost art form. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, however, actually comes with a paper insert that instructs the users how […]
Chu Chu Lemmings – Mixing the guide-the-mindless-drones puzzle aspect of Lemmings with the twitch tile-based arrow guidance markers of Chu Chu Rocket is basically Arctic Escape in a nutshell. Although more based around puzzles than fast reflexes, quick thinking is often required to ultimately guide penguins to the end goal. Even though there are several […]

A Simple and Addicting Sleeper Hit – With a unique twist on tower defense, a charming 8-bit graphical style, and very simple but yet addicting gameplay, Witch & Hero fits under the “sleeper hit” category – something that is of higher quality but gets overlooked. Interestingly, the plot actually ties directly into the gameplay. A […]
Clash of Camera Control – A five-dollar downloadable third person anime 3D fighter on DSiWare is rather attention grabbing and unexpected for Nintendo’s online service and screenshots might make it look like Sega’s Virtual-On series but the gameplay is nothing short of disappointing and borderline unplayable. There are only four fighters to choose from which […]

Needs a Biology Lesson – For just a couple of bucks, Swarm Survival is an easy-to-play different take on the classic Snake style of gameplay.
