Apologies, overseas friends, but I’m sure we’ll have another contest for you soon) Stranger Of Paradise is one of the finest, and smartest, games in Square Enix’s storied series.

Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

Review: Rugby League Live 3 (Sony PlayStation 4)

September 30, 2015

Australia/Big Ant/Football/PS4 Review/Reviews/Rugby League/Rugby League Live 3/Sony PlayStation 4/sports game

Rugby league is an odd sport. In Australia, its popularity is really only at its peak on the eastern coastline, with much of the rest of the country preferring AFL, which itself is a sport unique to Australia. And while Australia is a stronghold for the sport, it pales in…

This is not a drill: the new RollerCoaster Tycoon is coming!

Atari/News/Nvizzio Creations/release date/Release Information/Roller Coaster Tycoon/RollerCoaster Tycoon Worlds

I repeat, this is not a drill. RollerCoaster Tycoon World is coming. And it’s coming soon! Unlike the disaster that is/was RollerCoaster Tycoon 4, a free-to-play iOS exclusive, RollerCoaster Tycoon World is for PC and it’s a regular old paid game. I will now give you a moment to let…

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash dropping just in time for the holiday season

September 30, 2015

Mario Tennis/Mario Tennis Ultra Smash/News/Nintendo/Wii U

I have some ver fond memories of Mario games from childhood. Who doesn’t? From my first experience with Super Mario Bros. 3 on a TV encased in wood to beating my sister in Mario Golf, every game was great to me. Mario Tennis was no different, but I’ll be honest…

Review: Brave Tank Hero (Nintendo Wii U)

September 29, 2015

Arc System Works/Arcade/Brave Tank Hero/Natsume/Nintendo/Reviews/tank battle/tank game/Wii U/Wii U eShop/Wii U Review

Brave Tank Hero is a distressing affair. On one hand, arena-based tank combat games ought to be explored on consoles and Natsume deserves serious props for publishing one at all. On the other, this game is the embodiment of everything that could possibly go wrong with the untapped subgenre. Related…

Review: Samurai Warriors 4-II (Sony PlayStation 4)

September 29, 2015

action game/Koei Tecmo/PS4 Review/Reviews/Samurai Warriors 4-II/Sony PlayStation 4

The Warriors games have their critics for the rapid rate in which they release. In that way, it is similar to the treatment a lot of sports titles get with the annual releases. “More of the same” is something I hear far too often when people talk about the Warriors…

Review: Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion (PC)

PC/PC Review/Ravenmark/Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion/Reviews/Strategy/tactics game/turn based/Witching Hour Studios

Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion is an old school turn-based tactics game from Singaporean developer Witching Hour Studios, originally released for iOS and now ported to Steam. With its well-designed gameplay, expansive story and high production values, Ravenmark is a game with a lot to offer which I would readily recommend…

3DS/News/Nintendo/The Legend of Zelda Tri Force Heroes/trailer

Say what you want about multiplayer Zelda games, but nobody can deny the serious adorableness occurring in the new preview trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. The game features multiplayer in a variety of ways: download play, local multiplayer, and online play. Of the three options, download…

Review: Ferrum’s Secrets: Where is Grandpa? (PC)

September 28, 2015

adventure/Black Shell Media/casual games/Ferrum's Secrets Where Is Grandpa/Hidden Object/Indie/PC/review/Reviews/Steam/ZigZag Soft

Hidden object games are a dime a dozen, and I have most definitely played dozens. They range from great (I am a big fan of Mystery Case Files on PC/Mac) to mediocre (namely, the G5 iPad games) to downright terrible. Ferrum’s Secrets: Where is Grandpa? falls in that final category. The…

DDNet does Japan! Day #27: Heading back home (but it’s not over!)

Japan/Tour Japan/tourism

This is just a quick note today to say I’m on my way back from Japan. Talk about depressing. This really has been the trip of a lifetime. But I guess good things have to come to an end and besides I’d run out of money. Anyway, I still have…
