Ohno Odyssey is an upcoming 3DS downloadable title that looks like it’s all kinds of charming. Staring a little green blob, here’s a game that is dripping with personality, and it’s shaping up to be a hit when it releases. The developers have been good enough to provide us with…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. Do you own a Bluetooth speaker? If not, I confidently predict that you’ll have one by Christmas. They’re this year’s seasonal gadget of choice, and they vary from pocket-sized gizmos to full hi-fi replacements. The Divoom Onbeat-200 falls somewhere in the middle: it’s mid-price, mid-spec and…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Until I played Contrast I wasn’t interested in it. That changed about three minutes after I started playing. This is a deeply intelligent game, and yet another example of a wonderfully emerging class of games that maintain artistic credibility while also offering genuine production values. Rain,…
Read MoreReview by Chris I. Do you remember that your PlayStation 3 controller features Sixaxis motion controls? I thought about as much; thoughts of Lair still send shivers down my spine to this very day and I’m glad that most developers ignored the Sixaxis controls thereafter. Gaijin Games’ Skydive: Proximity Flight…
