The World Ends With You (TWEWY) is a pretty big deal amongst a very small group of gamers when it was released on the Nintendo DS. Despite only shifting around 650,000 copies worldwide, when a teaser website featuring TWEWY art work went live, there was a lot of excitement around…

The latest in a series of very Japanese games, Way of the Samurai 4 is an open world game with some very strange things happening within its city walls. It’s not necessarily a game that you would pick over an Assassin’s Creed or Grand Theft Auto game, but it’s fun…

2 Dawn Games’ new post-apocalyptic, multiplayer FPS gets a publisher and will be in attendance at PAX Prime. I have to say, for a game that’s seemingly come out of nowhere, Ravage is looking pretty darned sharp. With a post-apoc world as the backdrop, the shooter “hammers gamers with savage…

Ah, arcade shooters. Who doesn’t love the feel of dodging devious bullet patterns and firing streams of bullets whilst reliving the ‘80s? Alas, not all games of the era were able to recreate this thrill successfully. With a title like Chopper I, it seems the developers were more focused on…

PSOne classics start to trickle onto the Vita tomorrow (huzzah!) with the newest system update. MonkeyPaw Games has a very solid initial lineup chock full of classic RPG goodness.

I was a huge fan of Orcs Must Die! 2, scoring it 4.5 out of 5 stars upon release. The game has a ton of replay value already, but Robot Entertainment has announced yet one more reason to give the game another go. This DLC is being called a ‘booster…

The best part of New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the opening scene the first time you turn it on to play. Suddenly the realisation hits: you’re about to play an entirely new 2D Mario game. Those memories of childhood come flooding back, and though the graphic style is looking…

War of the Roses is an experience-gaining, melee-centric third-person multiplayer action game that borrows from history the real War of the Roses, a civil war between knights that took place between the mid-to-late 15th Century. You have got my interest, Paradox Interactive. Ever since the beginning of the seventh console generation, the…

Take a trip through time and face off against belligerent Legionnaires and missile loaded Triceratops’ in this classic SNK shooter. SNK’s Time Soldiers was released in the midst of the arcade boom of the late ’80s. Personally, I don’t remember the game, but I probably shouldn’t be too surprised that…
