Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition will test your reflexes, and sometimes your patience, but the action is so rewarding that you will come back for more. Primarily a platforming game with some really solid puzzle elements, leading lady, Patricia Wagon, reminds us of Mega Man as she attempts to…
Read MoreOne of the many books I probably shouldn’t have read as a youngster, but did anyway, was One Thousand And One Nights. I was a big fan of Disney’s Aladdin, and when I head that Aladdin came from this book (along with a bunch of other stories), I went and…
Read MoreWayForward’s Shantae has been for many years a hidden gem for people to uncover. The original on the Game Boy Color was a title that ended up with limited distribution, and then the sequel was a release on the DSiWare platform (hardly a huge success) and then ported to iOS…

The other half of Wayforward’s business…
Read MoreShantae has a legend almost as powerful as the 1001 Arabian Nights that it draws inspiration from. The Game Boy Color game went through all kinds of development and then publisher hell and in the end the publisher, Capcom, was only able to shift copies to retailers by forcing them…
Read MoreWhen the demo for Silent Hill: Book of Memories was released, I wrote with great enthusiasm about how great and important that game was, for both gamers and the Vita itself. Having played the full game I need to revise down my initial impressions a little. That’s not to say…
