Rush Bros. Review – Not So Fast

I like platformers. You can get addicted to the rhythm of a level and simply follow its natural course of action. Crafting a great platformer is always one part controls and one part level design. Platformers are about composition and flow, and without them a platformer can never feel as tuned as it should. Pretty descriptions aside, platformers should be constructed in a way that’s as seamlessly enjoyable as possible. Rush Bros is an indie platformer that relies on bright [...]

The Denpa Men 2: Beyond the Waves Review – Denpa Invasion

“Wait, stop the car! I CAN’T MISS THIS ONE,” I yelled to one of my friends as we made our way to a local Denny’s. He looked at me, rather confused, and pulled over. I was ecstatic, I’d just caught a rare Denpa man. Genius Sonority’s The Denpa Men 2: Beyond the Waves is a colorful little 3DS E-shop game that chronicles the struggle that a Denpa Man goes through when his family is kidnapped by an unknown villain. You [...]

Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory LTTP Review – Victory for the Spoiled

Despite everything that could have made Hyperdimension Neptunia MK2 a bad game, it actually didn’t turn out too shabby. Sure it has its problems, but it is an Idea Factory game — they all have their problems. What it excelled at was being a fabulous idea with a fun bit of characters to play along beside you. With Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory‘s release, we now have 3 Neptunia games on the market. To bring the trilogy into grandeur, the crew at [...]

Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes Review – Playing with Dragons

Last week, I wrote up the preview of the Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes beta. For those wanting an in depth look at the new systems, check out the preview. Now that I’ve happened to spend a few too many hours with the final build, we can finally attach a review score to this hybrid of Civilization and Final Fantasy Tactics and see what went right and what went wrong. Let’s find out how legendary this expansion really is.

Pushmasters Review – Fear the Cat Lady

There are a lot of games out there whose names offer you no help in determining what the gameplay is going to entail (I’m looking at you, Square Enix). In the case of Pushmasters, the whole premise of the game can be determined from the name: you are essentially pushing enemies the whole time. Pushmasters starts off by letting you choose one of five different levels. Each level offers a unique environment to push enemies off of. From here, you [...]

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 [...]

God of War: Ascension Review – Broseidon’s Bloody Brawler

I was lazily sitting around the house this last week when a package mysteriously appeared on my doorstep. Inside were the contents of something so unexpected that I actually sat and stared at it for a few minutes. I get quite a few Sony games mind you, but brawlers and the like are more Tyler territory. I’m the quirky JRPG guy. I for one haven’t played a God of War since the original, but with this being a prequel, I [...]

[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 [...]
