Review by Nick H. Toki Tori has been around for quite a few years now, but the plucky little fellow has been showing up on more and more platforms of late. He has made his appearance on Game Boy, PC, Wii – even the 3DS, which we reviewed here. It…
Read MoreReview by Clark A.Mega Man’s first outing is surprisingly overlooked for a mascot-spawning title. Its relevance may be called into question given the widespread opinion that its sequels all offer finer experiences, but the blue bomber’s lightened release schedule these days and his inclusion in the upcoming Smash Bros. may…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. As much as I enjoy Sonic’s 2D platforming outings, they all share a particular similitude. If Tails Adventure (and please note, this isn’t a grammar fail on our part, the game really isn’t called “Tales’ Adventure” like it should be – ed) is any indicator, though,…
Read MoreReview by Max S. Imagine running through an odd, magical world where monocle-wearing hills with eyes sitting on clouds (they are referred to as “Cloud Titans”) watch you as you jump, slide, and kick your way through joyously rhythmic level after level.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Super Mario 3D Land was one of the few games on the 3DS where I would argue the 3D slider was an essential part of the experience. The game was built from the very ground to take advantage of 3D, and in fact as I was…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Knack was one of the two retail Sony exclusive titles that were carrying the PlayStation 4’s launch hopes. The problem is instead of ushering in the next generation of gaming, Knack feels decidedly last generation. It brings very little new to the table while feeling overly…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Until I played Contrast I wasn’t interested in it. That changed about three minutes after I started playing. This is a deeply intelligent game, and yet another example of a wonderfully emerging class of games that maintain artistic credibility while also offering genuine production values. Rain,…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the recently released Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on the PlayStation 3. It offered some neat throwbacks to Sonic or Mario in there with its 3D platforming and power-ups. Namco Bandai made a game with the same name…
Read MoreReview by Michael B. Before I go onto the review proper, I want to point out two things. Firstly, I was never able to get Gravi to run in Steam’s Offline Mode. This was tested on both a laptop and a dedicated gaming desktop. I have contacted the developer Hashbang…
