Review by Pierre-Yves L. Going into the wonderful water-coloured world of Cocoro I expected a wonderful and light experience. What I got however was a hardcore, brutally unforgiving experience. Cocoro: Line Defender does a great job of using the two screens of the 3DS. Units are sent from the base…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I guess it was inevitable that the shining light of quality free-to-play military action would eventually make its way to the platform where $0.99 upfront can be seen as expensive but then people are willing to spend $100 in virtual coins to buy slightly prettier houses…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. War is brutal. War is a pitiless clash of ideology, a contest of arms, a dreadful reckoning of shattered lives. But war also takes place politely, in turns. One side attacks, then waits patiently while the other side has their go. And when the last shell…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Shenandoah Studios is the ultimate example of what a specialist studio can do with the tablet and smartphone platform to create deep, engaging experiences.
