E3 2012/Konami/Social games/Zone of the Enders/Zynga

Each year Konami does this pre E3-show thing. Seems a little pointless to us, since it means less surprises at the show, but oh well. This year’s pre E3 show is some interesting watching nonetheless. You can have a look for yourself here. The big one from our perspective is…

PlayStation Vita/YouTube

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…

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…

The official trailer for Skyrim’s Xbox 360 exclusive episode Dawnguard is vamptastic. Dawnguard actually delivers a lot more content into The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. There aren’t a ton of specifics as of yet on the add-on, but it looks from the trailer like you can cast yourself as either vampire, or…

Your favorite limbless cartoon hero slaps the 3DS’ virtual console silly this week as the original Rayman lands on the service- and there’s even something for Wii owners!

Slapstick comedy classic The Naked Gun heads to iOS with Frank Drebin Jr in tow. With pretty much zero hype since it was announced and not much backing it in the way of a movie, television show, or anything, developer DNA interactive has launched The Naked Gun as an old…

Review: Defender Chronicles II: Heroes of Athelia (iPhone)

Defender Chronicles/iPhone/Reviews/RPG/Tower defence

Despite its increasing popularity over the past years, I always approach tower defense games with caution, given how similar they tend to be to one another. However Defender Chronicles II seems to move away from the generic formula, fusing with the basic elements of a RPG. A sequel to Defender…

Right off of the bat, Kingdom Hearts was a bit of a confusing concept; a Japanese Action-RPG where Disney heroes, along with a few noticeable Final Fantasy characters, team up with a group of anime-soaked teenagers to fight an army of “Heartless” minions that are being pulled at the strings…
