June 3, 2012

E3/E3 2012/Nintendo/Wii U

When the Wii U was shown last year at E3 2011, confusion was the most common feeling among viewers and attendees. Was the Wii U a new system? Was it just a tablet add-on for the current Wii? And why did Nintendo’s next hardware product have a ridiculous name? While…

Is there a better suited game for the iPhone than Fortune Street, Square Enix’s most under appreciated franchise? I would argue no. Fortune Street Smart is a brilliant fit for the iPhone, and one of very best mobile games you’ll ever play. The series, which has been Japan-only in many…

Remember when Dark Souls got announced for personal computers after an almost 100K-signature petition? Everybody was happy. But then the box art was revealed, with the white, ever-so-hated “Games for Windows Live” logo right at the top of the packaging. This caused yet another outrage with another petition, as GFWL…

One of the areas the Vita not only holds its own, but outdoes its rival the Nintendo 3DS, is in the social arena. There’s already some nice applications for Facebook, Twitter, Music Unlimited, Skype and, soon, YouTube. This was confirmed on the PlayStation Blog. I wonder if I’ll finally use…

Blackjack/card game/dating sim/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/Sweet Memories

Let’s kick this review off with three warnings: Warning #1: there was no hype to this game, and Nintendo has tried to bury it in the eShop. Warning #2: It’s by Circle, who has become the new Gameloft in terms of shoddy ideas poorly executed. Warning #3? This review, because…
