I have a very high tolerance for games that others call clones. I see differences in PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale that set it apart from Smash Brothers games, for instance. There’s even the occasional Gameloft game that I can enjoy despite them inevitably being clones of PC and console…
Read MoreWhen Tetris Axis launched at retail back in late 2011, it probably didn’t set the sales charts ablaze. The 3DS library was still underdeveloped and the prospect of paying $29.99 USD for yet another revision of the world’s trendiest puzzle game might have been underwhelming to most. Fast forward one…
Read MoreIt’s the age-old love story. Cat falls in love with cats, by collecting diamonds, balloons and milk to win her over. Mittens is the latest game in a long series of physic-based titles on touchscreen devices. Mittens comes from Disney, who also gave us Where’s My Water? and Where’s My…
Read MoreAt first glance, Bridge Project would be easy for most players to dismiss. It doesn’t have the words ‘Super’ or ‘Legend’ in the title nor does it have anything to do with aliens or Russian terrorists. It’s a very niche title that only appeals to a very specific audience and…
Read MoreImagination. Its a wonderful thing when utilized to its full extent and people can whisk themselves to the most fascinating of paradises. Imagine, if you will, a world that you could interact with in the most primal way. You want it to be night, and *poof* it is. Feeling peckish?…

Read MoreI can’t say I’m a huge fan of The Cave. Tim Schafer’s newest work is Tim Schafer through and through, and certainly in terms of presentation it’s a game that’s hard to argue with, but this is one of those rare times with Schafer where the gameplay doesn’t support the…
Read MoreThere is one thing I do not like about Japan. Perhaps it’s because I’m from Australia, which is a remarkably big country with a huge amount of space, and so there’s a nice sense of personal space here. Perhaps it’s because I grew up in the country which made it…
Read MoreNot much has changed with the Angry Birds franchise since it was released back in 2009. It’s still the same game in various different skins; launch birds to attack structures that a nasty group of pigs have hidden themselves within. Yet, Angry Birds is still able to hold its own,…
Read MoreIf there was any game that the 3D effect of the 3DS could mess up, I was worried that it would be Professor Layton. What made the DS games such a joy to play was the impeccable 2D animation, character art, and cutscenes that looked like they could have been…
