A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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. From a top down view, the player controls a little piece of DNA (which is portrayed as this weird eyeball thing instead of a double helix) with the goal of […]
Yet Another Main Character Has Amnesia But You’ll Still Want to Check It Out – Built as a remake and reimagining of the original game that came out about six years ago, Millennium Girl is basically like getting two RPGs in one. Classic Mode is a 3D remake of the original DS game and it […]
New Engine. Detailed Gameplay. Lacking Features. – With a new graphics engine and years of experience, PES 2014 gets straight to the point. Instead of implementing a wealth of unlockables, modes, and even an interesting menu system and presentation, PES 2014 offers a soccer simulation that should please dedicated soccer enthusiasts but could leave new […]
Welcome to the Slaughter – Even though it is a little uncomfortable to slaughter throngs on endangered animals, Outdoors Unleashed Africa 3D is a mindlessly fun on-rails light gun shooter that is easy to play and actually has quite a bit of content and replayablity. Like Pokemon Snap, the game controls the player’s path and […]
Phase 1: Collect Underpants – Ported from WiiWare, 2 Fast 4 Gnomz is a twitch reaction runner, somewhat similar to the Bit.Trip series by comparison, which offers challenging gameplay in manageable bite sized chunks. The goal is to guide an endlessly left-to-right running lawn gnome while avoid all sorts of one-hit kill death traps while […]
The Title Is the Best Thing About This Game – With only one stage that repeats without any variation and a short time limit, Crazy Chicken: Pirates 3D is a one dimensional and pretty terrible shooting gallery downloadable eShop game even for the cheap $1.99 price point. But at least the name makes the game […]
You Shall Not Pass – Holding the 3DS/DSi hardware vertically like a book, Wizard Defenders is a tower defense style game sort of similar to a real time Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. It’s not bad for a $1.99 downloadable title but the sharp difficulty spikes and overall lacking presentation brings down the entire […]
Look At the Pretty Colors – The phrase “finding the right tool for the job” was probably coined decades if not even centuries ago. At the time, this tried-but-true phrase was probably geared towards hammers, lumber, or even hunting equipment. In modern times, however, this phrase can easily be applied to first-world problems such as […]
