Of all the Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles that we’ve seen released on the Nintendo 3DS to date, Harvest Moon is the one I have been looking forward to the most (well, that and the Final Fantasy Legends trilogy… Get to work Square Enix). Why? Because this is…
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 MoreEditor’s note: For reasons that the entire games industry is aware of, SimCity has had a controversial and very poorly executed launch.

Read MoreLittle King’s Story was a Wii game that managed to be both a critical hit and a game that was beloved by the people that played it. Or perhaps “person that played it” would be the more appropriate phrase, because Little King’s Story’s sales figures were unfortunately nothing short of…
Read MoreHello there Circle. We’ve missed you for the past couple of weeks while you were busy cooking up your next work of plagiarism… uh, homage to another developer. Or not.
