A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
E-Sports – Giving literal definition to the term “e-sports,” #IDARB creates a new type of digital sport mixing in social media features that add creativity and frenzied humor to this unexpected electronic competition. #IDARB is a team-based side-scrolling sports title that blends basketball, hockey, Mario Bros., and soccer with Atari-like pixelated graphics. Like a multi-berry […]
Cashing In Your Coins – Nintendo, not normally known for creating DLC, has provided fans something special with Mario Kart 8 Pack 1. Not only is the fan service top tier but Nintendo has gone out of their way to create something extraordinary by introducing guest characters and stages from some of their other franchises. […]
Simplifying Zelda – With a new spin on the classic Zelda formula, Fairune is a retro action adventure that simplifies everything and is surprisingly well done. Fairune takes the combat and RPG leveling mechanics of the vastly overlooked and superbly addicting Witch And Hero, another Circle Entertainment game, but puts them into a Zelda-like overhead […]
Lost In Space – With a minimalistic approach, Renegade Kid’s Metroid-inspired Xeodrifter captures the soul of exploration with simple but charming gameplay. Outside of the short opening “oh no, my spaceship hit an asteroid” cutscene, there is no story to speak of, no menus to work through, and no button schemes to toggle. Just like […]
‘Tis the Season – Getting into the holiday spirit, Pringles goes all festive on your ass with two limited edition flavors: White Chocolate and Cinnamon & Sugar. And let’s just say there is a reason these tubes of glory are only available for a limited time. As you can see from the image, the chips […]
Retro Evolved Again – Taking the reins from Bizarre Creations, Lucid Games have evolved the twin stick shooter concept to a new level that feels like a true sequel instead of a simple rehashing of this leaderboard demanding formula. By adding 3D stages, new power-ups, boss battles, and online multiplayer, Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions pretty […]
The Legend of Zelda: Adventure Time – This is not the first time the Adventure Time series has ripped off The Legend of Zelda. 2012’s Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage was basically Zelda II: The Adventure of Link with an Adventure Time coat of paint. Now, Secret of the Nameless Kingdom is […]
Castle Siege – As a follow up to Castle Conqueror EX, Castle Conqueror Defender is a completely different type of game and retains Circle Entertainment’s impressive streak of creating low cost but highly entertaining eShop games. CCD is a tower defense title but is presented in a way that makes it unique. The right side […]
Brick By Brick – Now over 30 years old, Tetris is still fun to play today. Tetris Party, an exclusive WiiWare downloadable title released in 2008, and its boxed retail alternative Tetris Party Deluxe (Wii and DS) were the best Tetris titles in years, outfitted with tons of new game types, multiplayer options, and online […]
A Good Looking Klutz – Pure Pool is an accurate simulation of this drunken bar sport but stumbles with a clunky UI and overall lack of options. Developed by the same team that created Hustle Kings, Pure Pool is a pool simulation outfitted with beautiful graphics and accurate ball physics. The table, reflection off the […]
