Panasonic's 3DO console - while a financial failure for many reasons - was the first console system where games like FIFA could shine with advanced graphics, realistic ball physics and impro... more.

    For those who know me well enough -- and even those who don't -- know just how much I enjoy a good puzzler, especially if it's one that's unlike any other I've ever played before. And this is exactly where Ty Taylor and Mario Castaneda's creative creation, "The Bridge" comes in.  Just when I started thinking to myself just how different could this game possibly be, I quickly changed my tune the v... more.
  • A-MEN 2 (Review) PS Vita

    Posted by on December 14, 2013 under Portables, Reviews
    A-MEN 2 by developer blooper team is an oddity in that it embodies the fundamental gameplay mechanics found in retro classics such as Lemmings and The Lost Vikings. Gamers old enough to remember these 16-bit classics will recall how both games paved the way for team-style gameplay that required quick thinking and the use of multiple characters to survive. A-MEN 2 is based on a similar concept, ... more.

Australian developer Tin Man Games remembers them quite well, and has revived The Fighting Fantasy series as digital interactive books on both tablets and smartphone devices. The Gameboo... more.
