Review by Nick H. A year ago, I had a chance to play the first Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures game. That title had some flaws, fitting uncomfortably between being too hard for really young players and yet feeling watered down for the more experienced platforming crowd. The second iteration…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. In Space We Brawl is quite simple in its design, which is funny because space is meant to be limitless. It takes the local multiplayer focus that made the likes of Towerfall so great and combines it with that classic that almost everyone has forgotten now…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It would be very easy to dismiss Sleeping Dogs as yet another open world game-thing. And indeed that seems to be what a lot of people dismissed the game as being in its initial release on the last generation of hardware. It sold decently, but it…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. If you are going insane, it is generally assumed you are the last to know. But, can you ever really believe what you eyes and ears are telling you? If you ignore what is in front of you, is it for the best or are you…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Given that I am such a fan of Koei Tecmo’s Warriors franchise, people are often surprised to hear that I came to the series quite late. My first Warriors game was, in fact, Samurai Warriors 3 on the Nintendo Wii. And I wasn’t going to play…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The award for the oddest “game” release on the PlayStation 3 this year will surely go to Short Piece: Ranko Tsukihime’s Longest Day. I say that because it’s not really a game. Not really. Short Peace is actually four short animated films, and one short game…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Akiba’s Trip: Undead and Undressed surprised me and likely not for the reasons you suspect.
