Review: Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Wii U)

December 30, 2012

Bandai Namco/Fighting game/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/Tekken Tag Tournament 2

I’ve never quite ‘understood’ Tekken, so if you are a big fan of the series, please look away now. Where I can understand the controls and structures of most fighting games, Tekken’s complexities have always felt a little alien to me. Where I can decimate opponents through a combo string…

Review: Castle Conqueror Heroes 2 (3DS)

Castle Conqueror Heroes 2/Circle Entertainment/DSiWare/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo DSi/Reviews/Strategy RPG

Castle Conqueror Heroes was one of Castle Entertainment’s better titles.

The MOBA games have become quite popular in recent years. Riot Games found a very simple, and yet very elegant formula, and made a killing in the process. Defenders of Middle Earth is what happens when a new formula becomes popular. In addition to the cheap knock offs (Gameloft’s Heroes…

When a game first comes out, there is this rush to try and play as much as possible as quickly as possible. This is especially true for those of us who are trying to review the game. Most games I review on here are ones that have been out for…
