That changes today, however. Though the trailer is…

Review: Fractured Soul (3DS)

September 28, 2012

action/Fractured Soul/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/puzzle

A man trapped between two dimensions tries to escape a disintegrating alien base in this puzzle-laden, side-scrolling shooter. Cool, right? Fractured Soul is an interesting game. At first, I thought it was a straight-up action/ platformer- but it’s not. It’s actually more of an action/ puzzler. There’s definitely some shooting going…

Nintendo 3DS/nintendo download/Nintendo Wii

Quarth… not only the glorious city of the far East in the world of Game of Thrones, but also a GameBoy title from ’90 where you shoot shapes from a spaceship. Connection? I’m thinking no, other than the name of course. I don’t really remember Konami’s Quarth for the GameBoy,…

Silent Hill Book of Memories demo impressions: this game is THE Vita exclusive

Demo/Diablo/Horror/impressions/Preview/Roguelike/Silent Hill Book of Memories

Silent Hill is a sacred series. I realise that’s a bit ironic since it’s also a series about horrible ghosts, suicidal guilt, and other such depressing matters, but it’s the truth – it’s the premier horror franchise (even moreso now that Resident Evil has turned into a Call of Duty…

I don’t actually think Sony sucks at all. I actually rather like Sony. But that headline may well generate for me more traffic than anything else this month. Over at N4G today the #1 story is “I hope Sony goes away so people won’t have anything to cry about.” The…
