While I found The Binding Of Isaac to be a mildly entertaining experience, I’ve heard of people being able to get 30 hours out of the game and still be entertained on their next playthrough. Admittedly, the game has enough content to justify such playtime; randomly generated dungeons and dozens…

I love any game that opens by asking people if they would like the characters to wear more clothing. Loren the Amazon Princess has romance, costumes that redefine the very idea of skimpy and with that in mind, some rather impressive art. It just doesn’t have an especially great game…

Dr Mario/Dr Mario Online Rx/Reviews/WiiWare

Puzzle games like Dr. Mario have been around for ages, drifting from console to console and finding new fans along the way. However, things rarely change from one installment to the next.

Game Gear/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Retro Reviews/Sonic
