A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Finding Lost Memories – Set as a reimagining of the 16-bit original cult classic, Flashback stays true to the Prince of Persia action-platforming style of gameplay but comes up a little short on the awesome-sauce. Via the Unreal Engine, Flashback is a good looking 2.5D experience that blends the HD environments of Shadow Complex mixed […]
A 150 Coin Month – Nintendo is gearing up for the school season with an educational title but bringing back some forgotten favorites. Game #1 – Zoda’s Revenge: Star Tropics II (Wii Virtual Console download, NES) Price – 150 Coins, normally 500 Wii Points ($5) Availability – Sept 3, 2013 – October 6, 2013 Summary […]
This is What Makes Games Fun – Rayman Legends is a pick-up-and-play accessible platformer that has such a high entertainment value it will make you smile from ear-to-ear from beginning to end. I have not had this much pure fun from a videogame in a long time. After being bitch-slapped awake from the snooze of […]
This week, Gillman and I sit down for a good old fashioned game of Castlevania, even though the game isn’t that old and the presentation is pretty much done in a new style. Join us and let us know what you think! Watch live video from varms on TwitchTV You can check out my full written review of […]
I Used to be an Adventurer, then I Took A Bullet To the Knee – The Heavy Fire series has been Teyon’s bread and butter franchise over the last couple years, releasing ports and sequels on PC, Wii, 360, PS3 and now on 3DS. With a simple premise of shoot anything that moves, Black Arms […]
It’s for Birds – Starting off on the mobile environment then evolving to anything with a screen, the Angry Birds phenomenon will continue to grow as long as there is a reason for these feathered fowl to keep suicide bombing defenseless farm animals. It really is only a matter of time before the garage door […]
Trying To Keep the Beat – The 3DS and the eShop are no strangers to music based games. Unfortunately, Groove Heaven doesn’t stack up especially against heavy hitters like Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, HarmoKnight, and even Bit.Trip Saga despite being a cheaper and kid friendly download. Players assume the role of a cutesy devil girl who […]
Gamestop Operation Rainfall B2G1 Sale Over the last week, Gamestop has been making headlines revolving around Xenoblade Chronicles. Seemingly out of nowhere, Gamestop claimed that they magically found a secret cache of elusive copies of this highly collectable and rare game. Some are guessing Gamestop just reprinted a few thousand discs, calling them used, and […]
Fore Score and 14 Years Ago – I missed out on Mario Golf for the Gameboy Color back when it was first released in 1999; I was more of Mario Tennis kind of guy at the time. But thanks to the August 2013 Club Nintendo program and the 3DS Virtual Console, I was given the […]
Go Smurf Yourself – Like most movie-based tie-ins, Smurfs 2 is nothing more than a marketing tool that will earn blind sales from ignorant parents looking to purchase a new non-violent game for their youngster. In short, this game is one heaping pile of Smurf. Gameplay is like a watered down Donkey Kong Country Returns […]
