Apple/iPad/iPhone/Reviews/rhythm game/Square Enix/Theatrhythm

Theatrhythm is one of the finest games on the 3DS. For fans of Final Fantasy, it was a love letter – pulling together one of the franchises’ greatest strengths, the music, and bringing it right to the front of the experience. And it was inevitable that it would appear on…

24 games of Christmas/Dead or Alive 5

It’s that time again! Michael Buble’s smooth voice serenades us over the radio with his brilliant rendition of “Let it Snow.” Houses are covered with bright lights, tinsel, green and red colours. Children anxiously count down the days, hoping they were good enough for a visit by Santa. It’s a…

How far does this iOS freebie climb? Hill Climb Racing is another one of those charming little free downloads that you find scattered about mobile marketplaces that just puts a smile on your face. But, like the majority of these types of games, they run out of gas a little…

I really did expect ZombiU to be more creative than it was in the end. Given all the hype behind it, and indeed my first impressions of the game from a Wii U demo booth, I expected an intense horror game quite unlike what I had ever played before. What…

The classic side-scrolling actioner, Metal Slug is now on mobiles. Well, there goes my afternoon… I can’t even calculate the stunning amount of time I’ve poured into Metal Slug games over the years. I’m pretty sure I’ve played every incarnation on every system on the planet. Maybe… there have been…

Review: The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave (3DS)

Dempa Men/eShop/JRPG/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews

I’m always up for a good dungeon crawler. There’s something endearing about boiling the RPG formula down to its very most basic elements and giving players a framework for endless battles and treasure looting. Denpa Men is, for all its gimmickry (we’ll get to that in just a second), a…

It’s a discussion for another day, but it’s a little saddening that four of the five big games that EA has planned for Q1 next year are hyperviolent shooters. I’m no fan of this – it has always struck me more as a cynical marketing ploy than an attempt to…
