There was a time when Sonic was a household name. It was once believed that Nintendo’s italian plumber, Mario, could never be replaced or even matched in popularity. For the longest time, this was fact -- until Sega released Sonic the Hedgehog for its 16-bit console system, the Sega Genesis. Suddenly, gamers were introduced to a new way of platform gaming. They could navigate levels at tremen... more.

The Gormiti franchise, which spawned collectible cards and action figures, has finally made its way to the Nintendo Wii. Instead of developing a card-based game like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh, the developers decided to create a 3rd person platform brawler that is easy to play. You control the four elements: Earth, Fire, Wind and Nature. These Gormiti are actually the souls of Earth children, appointe... more.

During the confusion, The Unlosing Ranger ends up getting run over by a passing car. While dying in the streets, the Unlosing Ranger notices a bystander (the main character).

There are some games that receive a bad reputation based on content. It could be the main character, the story line, or even the way the game presents itself. Over the years, developer Masaya has been developing a controversial shooter called Cho Aniki. This game, for lack of a better explanation, is very mantastic in its presentation. The imagery is very sexual in content; half-naked, muscle-boun... more.

Atelier Rorona finally makes its debut here in the States. Released earlier this year in Japan, Atelier Rorona Alchemist of Arland is a very laid-back role-playing game. Slower in pace than most role-playing games, Atelier Rorona is a unique, and very rare experience. Those who are not accustom to true Japanese role-playing games will not appreciate this diamond in the rough. Most role-playing ... more.

Sonic Adventure was the title that all Sega fans wanted on the Dreamcast. It signified a new era in gaming for Sega, its fans, and the popular blue hedgehog that stole so many hearts during the 16-bit system wars. SA as a game was a charming experience. It offered all the right elements; brilliant 3D visuals, fast gameplay, and our favorite hedgehog in 3D. The game wasn't without its flaws, tho... more.

Animal Ark Africa is the first iPhone game from Slovakia, a massively overlooked gem of a country in Central Europe with mountains and a society thriving rapidly as it plays catch-up from the old Soviet days. A severely limited encyclopedia, to be sure, and furthermore only 13 of the 28 entries actually work in the initial release. That's probably a good summary for the game as a whole, since a... more.

Her ambition to find treasure leads her and friend Souma to the forbidden gates of “Arcanus Cella”. As curiosity settles in, Pudding discovers the gate leading to Arcanus Cella isn’t locked and decid... more.

Castle Crashers has finally made its way to the Playstation 3. We get to experience something that Xbox 360 users didn’t: a new Volleyball game and an updated Arena mode with additional features (i.e. with new variables to set teams as 2 on 2, 3 on 1, etc.) can be played both online and offline. First things first though; Castle Crashers is a cell-shaded, action role-playing game. There are v... more.
