Razer’s Project Fiona is now a very real tablet/gaming device- and it’s looking pretty darned slick. The device runs off of Windows 8 and is basically a full gaming PC shoved into a tablet. There are a bunch of expected applications and add-ons like docking stations (to make the device…

It’s been about two months since the Wii U launched. We’ve had some time to get ingrained in the Miiverse community. How has it stacked up as a social network, or a resource for gamers? Well, not especially well on either count. Nintendo has succeed in creating a wonderful interface…

It’s not often that I find a platformer that I really get into. It’s simply not a genre that I get a kick from. So that in itself says a lot when I say I enjoyed Gunman Clive. It’s by no means the best example of the genre, but it…

The MOGA controller add-on was already pretty attractive for users of Android handsets who wanted more traditional control for their games, but the new pro that’s about to be unveiled at this week’s CES just might be irresistible. Power A will officially reveal the MOGA pro this week, but we’ve…

action RPG/Apple/Baroque/iPad/Reviews/Roguelike

Baroque is one of the least well known games that keeps getting remade, I’ll wager. This exact title which is now an iOS download was originally a Sega Saturn and PlayStation 2 game, and then ported to the Nintendo Wii. Either it sells well enough each time to justify a…
