    Posted by on February 12, 2011 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    The Contra series is synonymous with gaming. When Contra first appeared on Nintendo's 8-bit NES system, gamers instantly fell in love with it. Over the years, Contra has seen many incarnations. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System arguably had one of the best versions ever released (i.e. Super Contra), while the Playstation had Contra: Legacy of War - a terrible Contra remake with chunky gra... more.

    Posted by on January 23, 2011 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    The Charge is a sci-fi type space game that sets you barreling down an endless tunnel through hoops. With each hoop you pass through, it increases your speed and the faster you descend down the tunnel. The main objective is to break each speed record that is set. The faster you go, the higher the speed record is set. The tunnel is designed in a decent brick texture, but it doesn't really change... more.

The original Playstation was no exception. Arc the Lad III is a seque... more.

  • Galaxy Fight (Review) Playstation 3

    Posted by on January 5, 2011 under PS3, Reviews
    Originally developed by Sunsoft and released on the Neo-Geo system, Galaxy Fight is a quirky 2D fighter that takes place in a distant galaxy on multiple planets. There are 8 fighters in total, all oddly unique in their own way.

  • Flick Buddies (Review) iPhone/iPod/iPad

    Posted by on December 28, 2010 under Portables, Reviews
    A lot of reviews describe games as good for a 10-minute diversion. This is generally assumed to mean "at a time." This 99-cent physics puzzle/action app involves flicking your "buddies" into a target surrounded by obstacles, competing with up to three human/computer opponents for the highest score before time runs out. The multiplayer aspect is heavily hyped and I acknowledge my brief conquest ... more.
