Dungeon Hearts LTTP Review – Carpal Tunnel Crawler

The sweet spot of game design is being able to tap into that part of the brain where instant gratification meets compulsion to push forward. It is this simple, yet delicate, balance that is right in the wheelhouse of puzzle games, particularly those on mobile devices. Games with easy-to-pick-up mechanics like Bejeweled, Peggle, or even Tetris are accessible to anyone, but provide endless challenge and replayability once they get you hooked. Bejeweled in particular is an example of a ‘Match [...]

Are the end times near? Is there finally justice in the world? Am I finally getting a game I want for a change? Possibly. Whether by accident or not, Mirror’s Edge 2 floated onto the German version of Amazon today, available for pre-order for the scarily high price of just under 100 Euros. A clumsy mistake by some butterfingered Amazon employees? Or an ambitious prank by some fans of the greatest first-person parkour action adventure shooter platform puzzler elevator [...]

Splinter Cell: Blacklist Co-op Trailer Just Went to the Top of My Blacklist

2010′s Splinter Cell: Conviction was easily one of my favorite games of that year. Not only did it have a great story that showcased Sam Fisher’s new array of badass stealth mechanics, but it had one of the best co-op campaigns I had ever played. With Splinter Cell: Blacklist coming out this year, there’s even more to get excited about. Especially the return of the co-op story. The trailer above shows some intense and very fun segments dealing with sneaking in a guarded [...]

The premise here is that as the [...]

Anomaly 2 Review – On the Road Again

The premise of the Anomaly games is so simple that it’s a wonder it hadn’t been executed before. Anomaly: Warzone Earth took the iOS staple of Tower Defense and turned it inside out; having you play as the attack force whose job is to maintain a constant onslaught and push through enemy defenses. Essentially, this game helped create a sub-genre on its own; Tower Offfense! Anomaly 2 takes place a number of years after the first title and even though [...]
