Review: Rune Factory 4 (3DS)

October 9, 2013
3DS/JRPG/Neverland/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/Rune Factory/Rune Factory 4/simulation/XSEED

Review by Clark A.  Many will regard Rune Factory 4 as yet another release in the farming meets fighting franchise. While that is indeed an accurate assessment, this particular entry perfects the balance of said components and expands on them with variety that outweighs other major players in the genre.…

Review: Armored Core: Verdict Day (PS3)

October 3, 2013
action/Armored Core: Verdict Day/Arrmored Core/From Software/mechs/Namco Bandai/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/simulation

Before Verdict Day, I had never played an Armored Core game. So picture, if you will, someone whose first experience of a game is a bunch of prompts to import a character from Armored Core 5, then set up a character because I selected ‘no.’ Then I had to wade…

Review: Supermarket Management HD 2 (iPad)

September 17, 2013
Apple/casual games/G5 Games/iOS/iPad/Reviews/simulation/Supermarket Management HD 2

Review by Andrew M.  The time management sub-genre with casual games is so bulging with titles that when you get to Supermarket Management 2, you get the overwhelming feeling that you’ve been there before. Being a sequel, you have. Taking a lot of inspiration from Diner Dash and the other…

Review: Game Dev Tycoon (PC)

September 13, 2013
Australia/Game Dev Tycoon/Greenheart Games/PC/Reviews/simulation

It’s often quite disheartening when two games turn out to be incredibly similar affairs. Game Dev Tycoon, the first entry from Aussie startup, Greenheart Games, plays much like its inspiration: Kairosoft’s mobile hit Game Dev Story. But the last thing I’d want is for this review to serve as a…

Preview: Take On Mars (PC)

August 16, 2013
Bohemia Interactive/PC/Preview/simulation/space game/Take On Mars

It starts with darkness and confusion. The explosive crack of quick-release bolts. A sickening lurch. The barrage of jet engines. It’s too dark to see. The viewscreen is faintly illuminated but nothing is visible beyond the glass. There is wind: an urgent, rushing kind of noise. We’re falling. Someone should…

Review: My Farm 3D (3DS)

August 14, 2013
3DS eShop/casual games/eShop/farming/My Farm/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/simulation

I’m a big fan of farming games. I devour every Harvest Moon game that gets released on any platform, and I’ve even had fun with the serious Farming Simulator series. There’s something cathartic about sitting down to one of these games knowing that all you’re going to be doing is…

Review: Pro Cycling Manager 2013 (PC)

June 27, 2013
PC/Pro Cycling Manager/Reviews/simulation/Sports

When I started up Pro Cycling Manager 2013, I figured that this would be a very easy game to play. Feed the athletes performance enhancing drugs, drop the occasional bribe to make sure that the drug tests come through clean, and claim the trophy. Then I discovered that this game…

Review: Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)

June 17, 2013
Animal Crossing/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/simulation

A video game doesn’t need a compelling storyline or a realistic tone in order to be an enjoyable experience. Animal Crossing is an addictive simulation game where you, the player, are the centre of the universe with a utopia of carefree duties and colourful friends to live with. It’s a…

Beta preview: Anno Online (PC)

May 15, 2013
Anno/Anno Online/Beta/PC/Preview/simulation

Anno Online was a pleasant surprise for me as a gamer. I’m not that familiar with the genre, and of course, bosses like to be sadisitc when handing out games to play. And, to have even more fun at my expense, this boss didn’t go into detail to what it…

review-16bit-trader-ps-mobile

May 1, 2013
16Bit Trader/PlayStation/PlayStation Mobile/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/simulation/trading game

In the early days of game development, economic simulation games tended to focus in on one law of trading alone; buy low, sell high. Somehow, this incredibly simple (and often incorrect) economic theory drove dozens, if not hundreds of games, and turned many of them into genuinely compelling experiencing. Nostalgia…
