Video: Looking back at Super Mario Kart; the original and still the best

September 23, 2012

looking back/Mario Kart/Nintendo/Super Mario Kart/Super Nintendo/Video

I love Super Mario Kart. It was one of my first console games (though I had a Game Boy, my first TV console was the Super Nintendo), and if consoles kept track of time played back in the day I think this game still would be my most played game…

The weekly discussion: Japanese games!

September 21, 2012

weekly chat

In honour of Tokyo Game Show we’re going to focus this week’s weekly discussion on games that come from the spiritual homeland of games, Japan. Much has been said about how the Japanese games industry is struggling (yeah, right), but one thing is certain, there are still a lot of…

Review: The Tiny Bang Story (Android)

September 21, 2012

Android/Hidden Object/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Tiny Bang Story

Puzzle/hidden object games seem destined to be the next tower defence of the casual market world, and just like tower defence genre, the market is saturated with a spectrum of qualities, some good, some not so great. So where does the game Tiny Bang story fit into the spectrum? Sadly…

The Nintendo Download brings on new WiiWare

September 20, 2012

La Mulana/Nintendo 3DS/nintendo download/Nintendo Wii

It’s kind of a rare sight these days, but there is indeed new WiiWare in the Nintendo Download this week. None other than Indiana Jones Professor Lemeza makes his debut in La-Mulana. An old school platformer, La-Mulana was released in Japan to some pretty solid reviews. I myself have heard…

Apple/EA/iPhone/iPhone 5/Opinion/Square Enix

For many gamers, the iPhone (and iPad, and Android, but for convenience I’m going to just use “iPhone”) is a somewhat frightening prospect. The lack of physical buttons and the mass of $0.99 unengaging minigames makes for a gaming platform that many would rather ignore. But in reality it’s impossible…

Trailer: See lots of Totori on her Vita outing

September 20, 2012

Atelier Totori Plus/Gust/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/trailer

Atelier Totori Plus is going to be great. There’s no doubt in my mind that GUST is going to port one of the best PS3 JRPGs to the Vita just perfectly. And the trailer below is backing me up. Totori might “just” be a port, but portable Atelier games in…

Dynasty Warriors on the iPad? Holy crap!

Apple/Dynasty Warriors/Dynasty Warriors Slash/iPad/iPhone/Tecmo Koei

As anyone who knows me knows, I’m a big (understatement) fan of Tecmo Koei’s Warriors games. I just have to play every single one that is released, and to date, the iPhone and the iPad have been my own gaming devices Warrior-less. That all changes today. In Japan, Dynasty Warriors…

RAW is the Xbox Live Update

September 20, 2012

Fire Pro Wrestling/Jet Set Radio/RAW/Realms of Ancient War/Xbox 360/xbox live update

It’s a nice week for original (and unoriginal) arcade titles on Xbox Live with Jet Set Radio, Fire Pro Wrestling (!), and RAW- Realms of Ancient War all landing on the service. The other two games you probably know, but have you heard of RAW? It kind of appeared from…

Review: Eryi’s Action (PC)

September 20, 2012

Indie/Nyu Media/PC/Reviews/Xtal Sword

Player expectation in video games is something that is rarely toyed with. While a game may be filled with many story twists and turns, most games do not surprise players through gameplay alone. Rarely do linear/scripted games surprise players through more than a story or a musical cue, with horror…

The PSN Update is an epic loot grab

September 20, 2012

PlayStation 3/PS Vita/psn update/Sony

Yep, you know what that means right? Borderlands 2 is available on the PSN day and date with the retail boxed version. Do I even have to tell you any of the other stuff that posted? Probably not, since there’s little doubt that Borderlands 2 is the headliner this week…
