The fifth and final (if you don’t count Skyfall) James Bond mission has been set for mega-crossover game 007 Legends. What better way to round out the game than with the iconic Goldfinger? It does, in all fairness, seem a little odd(job) to see Daniel Craig starring in Goldfinger and…

Arcade/Heavy Fire/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Onrails/Reviews/Shooter

Call it a guilty pleasure, or whatever you’d like, but I’m a fan of the light-gun shooters that have come in the recent motion controlled era. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan on the PS3 with Move was a flawed, but fun change of pace from all the modern-day shooters that have come along since…

Angry Birds/Apple/Bad Piggies/iOS/Rovio/trailer

If you’ve found yourself growing tired of Rovio’s numerous expansions to digital success story Angry Birds, perhaps you’ll be pleased to see how different its spin-off, Bad Piggies, plays.
