June 11, 2012

Arcade/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Retro Reviews/Tumble Pop/Virtual Console

Tumble Pop is the kind of game the Game Boy really excelled at. It’s a simple, joyous little arcade game, and while it’s a title that’s largely been forgotten to history, it’s a game that is worth looking at again now. Released back in 1993, it’s a simple take on…

I’m not quite sure what the point of 3D Solitaire is. I mean, it’s a card game – perhaps the most basic popular card game of all time – and I’m not sure anyone was hanging out for a 3D take on it when the 3DS was announced. Card games…

Treasure hunter, expert climber, fighter, even heartthrob? Pretty much all the characteristics Nathan Drake embodies. His first outing onto a portable device brings with it the same cinematic action sequences that are present on the console games whilst also showing off the power of the Vita. There is a story…

Peter Molyneux is a misunderstood creative genius

June 8, 2012

creativity/innovation/Molyneux/Opinion

Peter Molyneux is a true champion of games creativity, but in the world of gaming mixed messages, that means he is also quite possibly the least popular high profile developer. As an observer of the industry for some 20 years, one of the persistent commentaries I’ve seen in recent years…

As I speculated earlier, Humble Indie Bundle V has added more games to the overall package to sweeten the deal. A total of three new games have been added; Jasper Byrne’s 2D horror game Lone Survivor, Team Meat‘s extremely difficulty platformer Super Meat Boy, and Number None’s possibly-pretentious Braid. While…

Diablo 3 is the biggest game on the planet right now, so it’s likely that you’ve already formed an opinion on it. You might hate it for its always-on DRM and the regular Error 37s that stop you connecting to the server. Maybe you’re a fan and you’ve completed it…

Hot on the heels of E3, the latest Nintendo Download is jam packed with trailers and a very cool download in the form of the LEGO Batman 2 demo. Batman 2, in case you don’t know, should just probably just have been titled LEGO Justice League since it features all…

E3 2012/hyperviolence/Opinion

One of the things we learned from E3 is that the games industry has an appetite for hyper violence. It’s also going to collapse the entire industry. In business circles, what is going to happen very soon is something that sounds decent enough – “consolidation” – but that’s merely a…
