Thomas Was Alone LTTP Review – I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

Without reaching beyond the surface, Thomas Was Alone is simply a minimalistic puzzle platformer. Originally released in July 2011 on the PC and Mac, Mike Bithell along with Bossa Studios have brought this indie hit to the PS3 and the PS Vita, featuring the “Cross-Buy” feature. In Thomas Was Alone, as with any platformer, the mantra is ‘up and to the right’. It’s such a simple concept, but with the help of a multitude of polygonal friends, and narrator Danny Wallace, this [...]

Soul Sacrifice Review – A Beautiful, Dark, Twisted, Fairy Tale

It’s hard to disassociate Keiji Inafune as a game creator known for anything other than his many works at Capcom such as Mega Man and Dead Rising. Especially not after their public separation and Capcom’s handling of the very same game titles which Inafune’s name is basically synonymous with. So when it was announced that Inafune was developing a Monster Hunter-esque game for the PS Vita, people became interested. However, given my personal dissuasion towards the monster hunting genre as [...]

Fish Out of Water Review – In-App Porpoises

I haven’t had too much time for big, expansive games as of late and instead have been using my small amounts of time here and there to absorb smaller games, mostly on my iPhone. Luckily, Halfbrick Studios has me covered. I didn’t know anything about Fish Out of Water before I purchased it. All it took was seeing that Halfbrick had released a new game to get me onto the App Store. Halfbrick have created most of the only iOS games to [...]

Jurassic Park: Builder Review – Spare No Expense

I’ve never understood Facebook games. They’ve always seemed more like sinkholes to either pour time or money into with little result. FarmVille, CityVille, pretty much any of those games that your friends are always bothering you to play with them seem entirely un-fun to me. But, let’s face it. They aren’t for me. Until now. Now there’s a Jurassic Park license involved. Now this game is for me.

Guacamelee! Review – Luchadora the Explorer

  Take two parts action platformer, one part Lucha Libre, shake (not stir) it, set it south of the border, and what do you get? One of the years most humorous and addicting downloadable margaritas to hit Sony’s console/handheld. Guacamelee! is the latest game from Drinkbox Studios which blends traditional Mexican folklore and an intuitive fighting system together in a Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic reminiscent of the Justice Friends from Dexter’s Laboratory. It’s got the looks and the attitude, but does Guacamelee! have what [...]

[Review] Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate – Damn It Feels Good To Be A Hunter

If there is a game out there that really embodies the spirit of what it means to be a true hardcore gamer, the answer is most arguably Monster Hunter. This long-running series straight from the bowels of Japan gave the casual gamer something to fear and the average gamer something to aspire to. There is no leveling up as you have to truly earn your stats by killing and skinning various scaled creatures and forge armor and distinct weapons out of [...]

[Review] Ridiculous Fishing – Gaze Into the Abyss and You’ll Find the Abyss Gazing Into You

How easy would it be for me to just say Vlambeer’s Ridiculous Fishing is the best fishing game I’ve ever played? Aside from some mini-games in titles such as Legend of Zelda or Deadly Premonition, I haven’t played any fishing games so it wouldn’t be hard at all. So what more then, could I say about Ridiculous Fishing besides the fact that it is indeed, the best fishing game I have ever played? Maybe I’ll just start from the beginning.

[Review] Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never played a traditional Castlevania game, and quite frankly after Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, I’m pretty sure I still haven’t. You see, I’m well versed in the ‘Metroidvania’ style adventure games if only from the first part of the genre’s namesake but having never touched the gothic fantasy horror story of the latter I didn’t really know what to expect from Castlevania: LoSMoF except that it was supposedly a middle [...]

[Review] Temple Run: Oz – Flying Baboons and Crumbling Roads

The latest release by Imangi Studios and Disney Mobile is another Disney-fied version of their endless runner games, but this time it’s inspired by Temple Run: 2 and based on the newly-released Oz: The Great and Powerful. In this game, you play as The Wizard (called Oz), who is running from angry flying baboons, surely sent from the Wicked Witch. Following closely after the release of Temple Run 2, this title also has a slew of new features that hadn’t been developed [...]

[LTTP Review] Fire Emblem Awakening – Awakening Your Inner Hero

Growing up, I never had the patience for games that required a great amount of time invested into them. I did, however, like to watch them being played frequently. I would always sit on the couch, floor, or just stand in front of the TV just watching characters fight on their own. I always loved how RPGs let you make a choice and in turn, presented you with your decision in a cinematic roundabout of over-the-top action. Fast forward approximately [...]
