Review by Matt S. I love foreign films because in watching them I learn something about the culture and environment that the film director, writer, and other artists involved in the production live within. It’s great to see the games industry start to follow suit, with independent developers across the…
Read MoreReview by Chris I. For indie developers, the go to place for platforming titles as of late has been on Nintendo’s 3DS eShop. Titles such as Mutant Mudds and Gunman Clive have been of a consistently great quality, and the asking price has been low. It’s been a welcomed treat…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. A developer/ publisher with the history that Square Enix has needs to be careful when its goal is to pull on the nostalgia strings. It’s a fine idea in principle to give your longest fans something that reminds them why they loved your games in the…

Read MoreReview by Clark A. As much as I enjoy Sonic’s 2D platforming outings, they all share a particular similitude. If Tails Adventure (and please note, this isn’t a grammar fail on our part, the game really isn’t called “Tales’ Adventure” like it should be – ed) is any indicator, though,…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. It’s been a while coming, but Nintendo’s promised Miiverse has finally been released on the 3DS console. Next time you try and log in to online services (specifically the eShop), you’ll be told you need to make a system update. The most important feature of this…
