October 15, 2012

Apple/iOS/mac/Marvel Comics/PC/Pinball FX 2/PS3/Xbox 360/Zen Pinball

One of Marvel Comics’ biggest storylines over the last few years comes to the pinball table courtesy of Zen. Not even close to one of my favorite stories from the House of Ideas (actually, tons of really kinda lousy stuff came out of the 2006 mini-series IMO), Civil War tells…

Review: Pokemon Dream Radar (3DS)

Talk about a weird franchise. The “main” Pokemon games – those games where you battle and capture hundreds of monsters and then trade and battle them with your friends – is an amazingly addictive and consistently great series. The “sub” Pokemon games are almost universally terrible. Pokemon Snap way back…

Trailer: Ravaged ‘Prepare for Carnage’

2Dawn Games/Multiplayer shooter/Ravaged

The newest trailer for 2Dawn Games’ Ravaged makes Doomsday Preppers look mild. I have to admit, even though I’m not really into multiplayer shooters at all, Ravaged has my attention. It’s got some strong Mad Max/Rage vibes but looks like it has a definite style that seems pretty unique. Built…

Apple/iOS/Mega Man/Opinion/Social games

It seems like Capcom has managed to find itself in a spot of hot water over its Mega Man franchise again. This time, it’s over the release of a social iOS game that ties in with the franchises’ 25-year anniversary. Now, on one level I do get that frustration. Compared…

Video Review: Realms of Ancient War (PS3)

October 15, 2012

Diablo clone/PlayStation/PlayStation Network/PSN/Realms of Ancient War/Reviews/RPG/Video review

Realms of Ancient War is heavy on the action. Swarms of enemies will attack your hero at every turn in this downloadable Diablo-style hack-and-slash. But the big question is: can a game that doesn’t even have a ‘block’ button still be engaging in this day and age? The answer is:…
