Another World
Out of This World was one of the most memorable games from my childhood. The stark, alien environments and mysterious, unsettling story left an impression on me that lasted long into adulthood. That’s...
View ArticleA Valley Without Wind
I think this valley’s missing more than just wind. I’d say it’s also missing a sense of purpose. As sort of a platformer / dungeon crawler hybrid, A Valley Without Wind has, on first appearance, all...
View ArticleThunder Wolves
This game would be awesome on the Wii or PS Move. It has that campy light gun attitude written all over it. Only small portions of the game are on rails, though, as the majority of Thunder Wolves has...
View ArticleOne Finger Death Punch
I don’t like quick time events, because I don’t feel like I’m in control of anything. This is why I can’t get into One Finger Death Punch. It does so many things well, from the goofy presentation to...
View ArticleX-Men Origins: Wolverine
Given that the Deadpool game just came out, and the new Wolverine movie is right around the corner, I thought I’d give X-Men Origins: Wolverine another spin. This is an action game first and foremost....
View ArticleDoodle Jump for Kinect
You don’t have to be a fan of the original Doodle Jump (I’m not) to enjoy this Kinect version. The game is now broken up into finite levels, so there’s more of a point to it, and the Kinect controls...
View ArticleBUZZ! Quiz TV
I know it’s old, but being a major lover of trivia, I couldn’t resist tracking down the buzzers and a copy of BUZZ! Being that it came out later in the life of the PlayStation 2, I never really got to...
View ArticleThe Darkness II
I’ll be honest, since the original Darkness didn’t do as well as most of the big FPS games this generation, I didn’t really expect to see a sequel. Well, I was wrong not to, and I’m incredibly happy...
View ArticleDead or Alive 5
I’ve been a huge fan of the Dead or Alive series for years. Given Itagaki’s lack of involvement with Dead or Alive 5, I was quite worried about the sort of product that we’d be seeing. After playing...
View ArticleElement4l
I really didn’t think I was going to like this game, because the tutorial level was such a chore. Element4l is a platformer where you have indirect control over your character. You’re only able to...
View ArticlePacific Rim: The Video Game
I remember being a kid and getting incredibly excited every time I saw a movie tie-in game released. While that excitement has nearly vanished over the years, I was seriously looking forward to Pacific...
View ArticleApocalyptic Path: Trail of Fears
Apocalyptic Path: Trail of Fears is one of the strangest games I’ve ever played. It’s like Fallout, Oregon Trail, and Pokemon got drunk and had some weird three-way monster baby that embodies the worst...
View ArticleCapsized
This alien planet you’ve landed on is one sticky hell hole. The stickiness was intentional to make climbing walls possible, but walking across a slightly bumpy surface is more annoying than it should...
View ArticleA Valley Without Wind 2
This feels less like a sequel and more like a re-imagining of what the first Valley Without Wind was supposed to be. It fixes a lot. The mash-up of genres makes more sense now, splitting your time...
View ArticleDungeon Smash ~ Dark Isles
Despite the name, there is surprisingly little to smash in the dungeons of the Dark Isles. Pots, yes. But crates? Don’t be ridiculous, you can’t smash a crate! In Gauntlet-like fashion, most of your...
View ArticleTidalis
Tidalis reminds me of Puzzle League. It’s a “match three” falling block puzzler where said blocks can turn into huge combos if cleared properly. Unlike Puzzle League, though, it’s just not very...
View ArticleCitadels
I haven’t played a traditional strategy game in a long time, so Citadel’s streamlined gameplay was just what I needed. The resource management and unit upgrades are light enough to be manageable but...
View ArticleAsura’s Wrath
In the past few years, people have been throwing around the term “cinematic experience” with reckless abandon. Though I will admit that there are plenty of games that deliver cinematic experiences, I...
View ArticleCrush
Crush is a unique Tetris-like puzzle game played in reverse. Rather than stacking blocks, you start with an ever increasing wall of randomly generated squares that can be wiped out with the touch of a...
View ArticleSurgeon Simulator 2013
I know, I know. Surgeon Simulator 2013 sounds like one of those stuffy yearly editions to a game that’d be incredibly boring, but you could not be more wrong. Surgeon Simulator may put you in the role...
