Review by Chris I. Heralding itself as a “rogue-lite,” Rogue Legacy comes clanking its way onto the PlayStation Vita, bringing its unique genealogy-based, retro platforming action to the portable console for great hardcore gaming on the go. It’s a game with seemingly endless personality and replay value, so be sure…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Pool is a game of angles, skill and determination. If you play the game anything like me, it is also always the ball’s fault. To say that I am the unluckiest man in history when it comes to making simple shots in pool is a reasonably…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It says it right in the title: this game is a roguelike. That means player death, more player death, and then for a bit of variety, some more player death. Now with most roguelikes, when a character dies it’s simply back to the start of the…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. If you haven’t been playing JRPGs for decades, than the idea of taking control of a little pixel hero and then running around in circles fighting the same enemies over and over and over again to build enough experience to take down a tough boss at…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Child of Light blew us away when it was released on the various home consoles not long ago. Beyond the fact it was visually beautiful, the game featured a breathtaking soundtrack and an intelligent, articulate, and creative approach to storytelling. Short of having a gaming laptop,…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. It takes only a handful of screenshots to ascertain End of Serenity’s role as a retro-style, Final Fantasy clone. As yet another JRPG being released late in the aging PSP’s life, it doesn’t exactly have grand expectations riding on its shoulders. That lack of hype is…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not really surprised that someone, somewhere had the idea to build a visual novel around the BlazBlue franchise. After all, in between the brief and furious combat in these fighting games there’s so much dialogue that the “Story” mode might as well be a visual…
