Review by Joseph L. Originally released on Nintendo’s WiiWare service, Rage of the Gladiator saw to a fairly positive reaction, all up. But it slipped under the radar, with no real marketing budget despite being a “big” WiiWare release, and few media outlets running a review. After an iOS version…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’ve developed a lot of respect for QubicGames after playing AiRace: Speed. We’ve all flown planes through tunnels in one game or another, so much so that it can hardly be called a fresh gameplay experience. AiRace takes the familiar gameplay of these titles and gives…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. “Why am I reviewing this game now?”, many of our readers will ask. After all, it’s been available in the US and Japan for quite some time. Unfortunately Shim Megami Tensei: Devil Summoners: Soul Hackers took its sweet time to hit Aussie and European shelves. But…

Read MoreWe have been seeing a lot of crossovers of late, but this is one I did not see coming. Monster Hunter 4 by Capcom for the 3DS has been gaining a lot of steam, and now Nintendo has announced that there will be special The Legend of Zelda and Super…
