April 28, 2014

2D platformer/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Putty Squad/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Putty Squad has its heart in the right place, and it works hard to recreate the kind of retro charm that this game offered when it was first released as an obscure Super Nintendo game back in 1994. A lot has changed to the 2D platformer…

Anime report by Clark A. The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behaviour (Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou) is one of those shows I’m glad I stumbled upon when more than the pilot episode was available. Based solely on the first episode it looked to be a bland romantic comedy…

Review by Matt S. To me, hidden object games are best enjoyed in company. There’s something compelling about huddling around a screen together trying to quickly spot a well-hidden object as a timer ticks down. A good hidden object game also features some adventure game elements in it too, with…

News by Matt S. Here’s some big news; the developer of such fine games as those in the Armored Core and Dark Souls series, From Software, has been acquired by Kadokawa Shoten. Kadokawa isn’t a name that is especially well known in the west, but in Japan it is a major…

Article by Chris I. Rewind back a few years and tell most anyone that indie games would be earning the same respect and attention as the biggest blockbusters, and they would most likely laugh in your face. Yet, the unthinkable happened and titles like Braid, Limbo, and Bastion are well-known…

Review by Nick H. Everything about War of the Vikings feels like success comes down to a combination of strategy and finding a rhythm. That might sound odd for a game where players are tasked with bludgeoning one another to death, but the mix actually works very well and gives…

Preview by Pierre-Yves L. The original Panzer Tactics was released back in 2007. Given that is does have such limited brand value after all these years it was a little surprising to see that it would be getting a HD makeover for both PCs and the Apple iPad in the…
