Review: Galaga Legions DX
Posted on August 15, 2011 | No CommentsOne part nostalgia and one part modern arcade game, Galaga Legions DX is Namco’s latest step down its Generations road. While a fun game, this revival’s biggest problem is that there are a bunch of games out there like it already. For those that are... -
Review: Outland
Posted on August 8, 2011 | No CommentsThe summer doldrums are in full effect. According to the release calendar, there are no significant boxed retail games coming for the next two weeks (Ed Note: Except for El Shaddai!), so now is a great time to look back on some games that are... -
Hardware Review: Nintendo 3DS
Posted on June 3, 2011 | No CommentsAs the Nintendo 3DS launch window draws to a close (the post-launch era officially begins with the start of E3 next week), I’ve finally been able to get my hands on Nintendo’s 3D DS successor, and I’ve been putting the newfangled portable gaming machine through... -
Review: Virtua Tennis 4
Posted on June 2, 2011 | No CommentsAs far as I’m concerned, there can never be too many tennis video games. I’m not sure what it is, but even in its simplest, purest form there is something deeply addictive about hitting a ball back and forth against another person or AI, as... -
Review: ExerBeat
Posted on May 27, 2011 | 4 CommentsI must admit, that when a copy of ExerBeat showed up last week my immediate inclination was to dismiss it as more shovelware for a rapidly fading console. But as soon as I slid the game into my Wii, my attitude went from doom and... -
Review: Monster Tale
Posted on May 26, 2011 | No CommentsEver heard of DreamRift? Probably not. After all, the studio has only produced one game so far — the recently released Nintendo DS title Monster Tale. But everyone better take notice of this up and coming dev team moving forward. The studio’s co-founders were the... -
Review: Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection
Posted on May 23, 2011 | 1 CommentLike most Final Fantasy games, my first experience with Final Fantasy IV (hereafter FF IV) was on a handheld – the excellent GBA version, to be precise. I later played the DS version, which took all of the great stuff they added to the GBA... -
Review: ZombieSmash! HD
Posted on May 22, 2011 | No CommentsMy gadget love tends to be infectious, so I wasn’t terribly surprised that after months of working closely on a project a coworker (non-Apple person) ordered an iPad 2. After a week or so of breaking it in with some apps, he asked “I was... -
Review: MotorStorm: Apocalypse
Posted on May 21, 2011 | No CommentsTiming is everything, and in MotorStorm: Apocalypse’s case the timing of its release couldn’t possibly have been any more inopportune. Apocalypse, the third (or fourth if you want to count the PSP/PS2 installment) game in Evolution Studios’ PS3 off-road racing series, removes the series from... -
Review: Conduit 2
Posted on May 10, 2011 | No CommentsPicking up right where the first game’s lousy cliffhanger ending left off, Conduit 2 continues the sci-fi FPS saga of Agent Michael Ford, who has hopped through a conduit portal hot on the heels of antagonist John Adams. This time Agent Ford means business, suiting...
