Alice Madness Returns/American McGee/American McGee's Alice/film/kickstarter

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. (Be sure to check out our exclusive interview with McGee) Alice: Otherlands is…

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…

The weekly discussion: Import games edition

The weekly discussion/weekly chat

With all the debate currently surrounding Nintendo’s resistance to removing region locking, I thought this week we could have a discussion about the games that you have imported. If you’re American, the only games you might import are those from Japan, but for the rest of the English-speaking world it…

Review: Tokyo Jungle Mobile (Vita)

PlayStation/PlayStation Mobile/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Roguelike/Tokyo Jungle/Tokyo Jungle Mobile

Tokyo Jungle was a weird game. Not just because it is weird (though any game which features psychopathic Pomeranian that can take down a fully grown freaking Tiger is not just weird, it’s downright terrifying), but because it is a game that I really, truly should have loved. But I…

Eric Lee Smith Very (very) late last year we reviewed a new iOS release from a new developer. Battle of the Bulge, by, Shenandoah Studios, impressed us mightily because it got some things that are critical to wargames right that most iOS competitors had, to that point, failed to do;…

Review: Plants Vs. Zombies 2 (iPad)

Apple/Free-to-play/iPad/iPhone/Plants vs Zombies/Plants Vs Zombies 2/Popcap/Reviews/Tower defence

Let me just say from the outset; I’m not actually opposed to the free-to-play model. Understanding that free-to-play does not mean free, I’ve had a great time with those games that I have felt have put the model to effective use in providing players with a basic, entry-level version of…
