Donkey Kong/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Retro Reviews/Reviews/Virtual Console

After a couple of weeks of sheer excitement with great new game releases – XCOM on the iPad, The Last Of Us on the PS3, and Time and Eternity for the otaku amongst us, it seems that we’re in a rare quiet moment for game releases right now. So picking…

Capcom took a chance and created a new IP in Dragon’s Dogma, which turned out to be very successful for the company despite a wide range of critical opinions. I personally enjoyed the game a good deal, and am looking forward to seeing what they do with the series going…

Grasshopper Manufacture’s Sine Mora has done the rounds for a while now – it’s on PS3, Xbox 360, PC and was even a PS Plus “freebie” on the Vita. And now, it joins Liberation Maiden as a Goichi Suda production to hit the iPad. If we’re being brutally honest though,…

The man behind those two rather spectacular visions of Alice in Wonderland, American McGee, has launched a Kickstarter to produce Alice: Otherlands, a short film taking place in his dark vision for the Lewis Carroll classic character.

If you’re running around in circles or picking your jaw up from the floor, don’t feel bad – we did both of these ourselves when this email landed in our inbox too. Legendary composers Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy) and Kenji Ito (Seiken Densetsu) are putting their talents together for the…

I like to joke about how many Capcom fighting games eventually come out with a seventeenth Super Duper Spiffy Supreme version, iterating upon itself every few months. The fact of the matter is, Capcom usually does an excellent job with these updates in adding new characters, stages and balancing the…

The games industry can be a wonderful community to be a part of. At their very core games are a balance between art and entertainment, and like film or literature that makes the industry both intellectually rewarding and enjoyable to be an active part of. Playing games are not work,…

There was a title back on the Sega Genesis that earned a pretty solid cult following, called Mutant League Football. It was an over-the-top game where you tried just as hard to hurt the other team as score a touchdown. Produced by Electronic Arts, the engined had a very distinctly…

Review: The Last Door (PC)

July 15, 2013

Horror/Indie/PC/Retro/Reviews/The Last Door

The Last Door is a unique game. Not because of its typical horror story setup of a nondescript man being summoned to his eccentric friend’s dark, desolate mansion. Not because of its rudimentary point-and-click puzzles that, like those of many adventure games, tend to frustrate. The Last Door is a…
