A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Extending A Hand – Keeping its past alive, Nintendo has an exclusive WiiWare title that is only available through its Club Nintendo program that harkens back to one of their first hit toys from the 1960s. While Grill Off with Ultra Hand is basically the equivalent to a $.99 smart phone game, it is a […]
Pulling into Port – The Nintendo 3DS eShop version of Squids Odyssey is a port of the Wii U version containing all the same content but with a couple differences involving the smaller screen. Similar to the Wii U Gamepad controls, the 3DS touch screen with the stylus or Circlepad can be used for all […]
Fighting Hostess – Taking the fight to Hostess’ doorstep, SaraLee has started a cupcake war with their new Chocolate Crème Cupcakes. While they probably won’t win this pastry melee against the Twinkie Kings, they at least can level the playing field. Just like the Hostess cupcakes every American has been shoving down their pie-holes since […]
The Growing Booger – Originally released as a Vita and PC downloadable title, Mutant Blobs Attack has oozed its way onto PSN and XBLA for a discounted price of $7.99. This Katamari Damacy meets LocoRoco-ish puzzle platformer is a short but sweet downloadable distraction with a cute cartoony vibe. You play as a boogiery blob, […]
Peel Down to Throw Up – Instead of focusing on their unforgettable candy empire, Wonka is dipping their toe into the ice cream realm with these new Peel-A-Pop popsicles. This Nestle owned company really should just stick with what they are good at because this is honestly one of the grossest things I have ever […]
A Horrible Night To Have A Curse – Originally released on Steam almost a year ago, Blood of the Werewolf on XBLA adds a couple new features over its PC brethren but suffers overall from cheap level design and boss battles. Selena, on a quest for vengeance against her murdered husband and kidnapped child, plays […]
Repetitive Busy Work – Torus Games deserves some credit for putting a different spin on this licensed product but even the new open world gameplay cannot save this unpolished and unrefined rush job of a gaming disaster. How To Train Your Dragon 2 is like a very weak version of Diddy Kong Racing where the […]
Expansion Pack – Last fall QubicGames released AiRace Speed to the 3DS eShop, a sequel to a couple of DSiWare racers. With its low price point, solid use of stereoscopic 3D, and highly competitive leaderboards, this futuristic racer stood as a sleeper hit for Nintendo’s downloadable service. Now, about nice months later, QubicGames has released […]
That Medicine Flavor – Nabisco is starting to take the world famous Oreo into new directions by offering a slew of new flavors including mint, chocolate, birthday cake, ice cream, peanut butter, and even watermelon. Truth be told, it is getting a little out of control and no one can keep up with all this. […]
Strategic Flick’Em Up – Mixing the flicking catapult and level progression gameplay of Angry Birds with the strategy of billiards, Squids Odyssey has extended its mobile roots to the Wii U with a 3DS port set to be released soon. It is a simple concept that translates to some clever and entertaining gameplay but is […]
