  • BurgerTime World Tour (Review) Playstation 3

    Posted by on December 29, 2011 under PS3, Reviews
    Released in 1982 by Data East, BurgerTime was an unusual platform game starring chef Peter Pepper. The object of the game was to walk over hamburger ingredients until a hamburger was pieced together at the bottom of the screen. BurgerTime became an instant classic with gamers.

  • The Show Must Go On (Review) iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch

    Posted by on December 26, 2011 under Portables, Reviews
    This app may be the greatest development in opera since Elmer Fudd's maniacally shrieking "KILL THE WABBIT!" That landmark performance more than 50 years ago squeezed Wagner's 17-hour "Der Ring des Nibelungen" ("The Ring Cycle") into seven minutes, according to Bugs himself. Actually, it's even more impressive than that since key elements of Tannhäuser  and other works by Wagner are thrown in... more.
  • The Ultimate Juror (Review) iPhone/iPod/iPad

    Posted by on December 26, 2011 under Portables, Reviews
    Think of it as the bar exam for graduates from the University of Law & Order. No need for more than a few basic facts about somebody beheading his friend, since facts aren't all that relevant to the verdict. What really matters is whether you accept the female dog walker or the male restaurant owner as a juror (without being able to question or know anything more about them). And it's all r... more.

  • Vanguard Bandits (Review) Playstation 3

    Posted by on December 12, 2011 under PS3, Reviews
    Vanguard Bandits is a  tactical isometric role-playing game with a sci-fi twist. It’s very rare to find a role-playing game done in this fashion. Most role-playing games stay with one theme. Vanguard Bandits is a well-rounded role-playing game that follows suit with other RPGs like Vandal Hearts. You fight on a grid (similar to a checkerboard) and you are only allowed to control (move) one c... more.

Shinobi for Nintendo 3DS marks the return of the Musashi family and the introduction of Jiro Musashi, the father of Joe Mushasi (the protagonist ... more.
