  • Muramasa Rebirth (Review) PS Vita

    Posted by on July 24, 2013 under Portables, Reviews
    Originally available for Nintendo Wii, Muramasa redefined the 2D action role-playing genre with its demon blade weapon system and mind-blowing visuals. Muramasa Rebirth for PS Vita is essentially the same game that retains all the knuckle-whitening gameplay of the original, while also maintaining the core mechanics that made its predecessor a success. As either the demon possessed princess Momohim... more.
  • Expeditions: Conquistador (Review) PC

    Posted by on July 23, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Expeditions: Conquistador is unlike anything currently available on Steam. It offers a colonial, Neopolitan setting that has never been experienced in a strategy game before. It relies heavily on strategy and uses a turn-based system like most games in the genre.  Plus, it includes a robust story that will have you immersed for hours. Conquistador is absolutely brilliant; its micromanagement s... more.

  • Limbo (Review) PSVita

    Posted by on July 8, 2013 under Portables, Reviews
    The nameless boy who searches for his sister on the edge of Hell is finally available for the PS Vita. Known for its brilliant and sometimes morbid puzzles, Limbo redefined the 2D platform genre with its horror-style monochromatic black and white graphics and Silent Hill-style film grain effects. The PS Vita release is a straight port of the original game with no additional features or touchscr... more.

    Posted by on July 8, 2013 under Portables, Reviews
    Originally written by Ian Livingstone, The Forest of Doom is the third book in a series of paperback role-playing games called, 'The Fighting Fantasy Series'. These books were similar to 'Choose Your Own Adventures', but they offered the reader more flexibility by allowing them to build a character (i.e. by rolling dice to determine stamina, skill and luck), collect items and store them in a handw... more.
  • Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (Review) PC

    Posted by on June 30, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Call of Juarez is back with another extraordinary sequel. Unlike the previous game, Gunslinger returns the series to its lawless Wild West roots when Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett were outlaws. The game follows the same premise as the original Call of Juarez and Bound in Blood by serving up large doses of action and plenty of one-on-one duels. Gunslinger offers an authentic first-person experie... more.
  • Rush Bros. (Review) Mac

    Posted by on June 26, 2013 under Mac, Reviews
    Rush Bros. by developer XYLA Entertainment is a blistering fast 2D platformer where two feuding DJs run through environments that interact with the music. Heavy bass causes the backgrounds to pulsate with bright, eye-popping colors as the player runs through darkened rooms laden with deadly buzz saws, sharp blades and spikes that can impale you. Gameplay is similar to most 2D platformers - you ... more.
