Apple/iOS/iPad/iPhone/Renegade Kid/review

Now rockin’ your iOS devices One of the premier eShop platformers hovers over to iOS. When Renegade Kid’s Mutant Mudds landed on the 3DS eShop, it was a breath of fresh air for the relatively new handheld. Its platforming excellence stood its own with Nintendo’s first party titles and is…

Review: Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Wii U)

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…

Late last year, WiiWare was a nearly dead platform; a very unfortunate time for Aussie devlopers Nnooo to release escapeVeektor: Chapter 1 on the console. The fact we never saw Chapter 2 released there is telling of its limited success despite being an incredible game, I think. Thankfully, then, the…

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…
