Review: ZombiU (Wii U)

December 13, 2012

Multiplayer/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/Survival Horror/ZombiU

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…

Did you know that the popular trivia game debuts on Apple devices today? “In May, we launched the Facebook version of YOU DON’T KNOW JACK looking to combine the party-atmosphere of console and PC gaming to the asynchronous social gaming space where people could play wherever they want,” said Harry…

Metal Slug storms iOS and Android

December 13, 2012

Android/Apple/iOS/Metal Slug/SNK Playmore

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)

December 13, 2012

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…

24 games of Christmas/Horn

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…

Preview: Hands on with Crysis 3

crysis/Crysis 3/EA/FPS/PC/Preview

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…

Theatrhythm comes to iOS

December 12, 2012

Apple/Theatrhythm

One of the finest of all games released on the 3DS, Theatrhythm is a Final Fantasy fan’s dreams come true. Now it’s going to be much cheaper and on iOS. The press release is below, but in bullet point form: The game features music from every Final Fantasy game The…

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is now officially available on the PSN. One of the best loved and most involved GTA’s, San Andreas had a ton of things to do that no other GTA has had since. Activities like working out (and hot coffee…) seem to have been one off…

Review: Little Inferno (Wii U)

December 12, 2012

Art Game/Farmville/humour/Indie/Indie developers/Little Inferno/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/postmodernism/Reviews/Social games

I really, truly love Little Inferno and the philosophy behind it. Clearly built by very intelligent developers, the game is a deep reflection on the games industry itself, and in the process it exposes some themes that should make people a little uncomfortable. Nothing is as effective at getting people…
