Dead or Alive: Dimensions review

These boobs came with a fighting game

Let's not try and sugarcoat it; DOA is the fighting game series equivalent of Baywatch. For those of you who have never played a modern Dead or Alive title, consider yourselves-for the most part-lucky. When you make an anti-feminist such as yours truly flat-out appalled by some of the objectification titles... read more

Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap review

One of the best Master System games of all time

Depending on the region that you grew up in, the Master System got a bum rap. The Master System essentially had its fate wrapped up for itself by Nintendo's licensing policies in the early days of the 8-bit era, which is a genuine shame, because the Master System had some genre defining and all-around... read more

Chubbins review

He has a glandular problem, he swears

Recently I got my hands on a copy of Chubbins for download on the Wii U, seeing as my only other options for review codes at the time were limited to the likes of Evofish and I am an Air Traffic Controller Airport Hero Hawaii, and I didn't feel like being driven to suicide at the time. Regardless, my... read more

Internal Invasion review

Sick, but in a good way

Internal Invasion is a physics-based platformer done right... for the most part. You play as a small bot named Ro'bert who has been injected into the body of a sick patient. Your goal is, of course, to heal him. How is this done? By flinging Ro'bert through various sections inside the body via cannons and... read more

A journey through Hyrule... and the ages

Can retro games still hold my attention?

I somehow got the crazy idea that I wanted to beat all the Legend of Zelda games. I don't know why I even got myself so worked up about this, I am terrible at finishing games because I am easily distracted. So, ignoring my common sense, I started to play the first The Legend of Zelda... and 30 minutes... read more

I'm Tripping...... Bits?

Initially released as separate games for the WiiWare download service (and later sold as a collection on disc) - the Bit.Trip Saga allows for the first time ever, 3DS owners to play a solid collection of one of most fantastic games on the Wii market. From the simple pixel art aesthetics, gameplay and... read more

Hyrule Warriors is Full of Girl Power

and I love it!

While there are other developers who make excuses for not including female playable characters (looking at you, Assassin's Creed: Unity), the team behind Hyrule Warriors is doing the exact opposite; as of today, there are five playable female characters in the upcoming Wii U title. Granted, while there is... read more

Arcade Classics 3D review

You've seen them all before

When it comes to Arcade Classics 3D, the game truly provides what it says on the label: classic arcade games in 3D. How well those arcade classics are provided, well, that's a whole different story. Arcade Classics 3D jumps right into the game the moment you boot up, placing you in a room with seven... read more

New costumes opening doors to lots of possibilities

Series creator Masahiro Sakurai has been showing off screen shots of the upcoming Super Smash bros title for the Wii U and 3DS for a while but as of late, we've been seeing some of the other characters alternate costumes, some of which might pave a way to moving past the alternate color schemes we've grown... read more

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark review

I didn't like it. There, I saved you 40 bucks. Go get FF Tactics.

What are you reading this for? The tagline said it all. If you want a half-decent strategy game on the 3DS, go get FF Tactics, Fire Emblem, or, hell, even Super Mario 3D Land requires more "strategy" than this adaptation of Transformers: Rise of the You Read the Subtitle Already. I could say this was the... read more

Skypeace review

A take off that could have been better

A game about soaring through the skies on incredibly fast hoverboards sounds fun, doesn't it? Well, Skypeace here took it upon itself to take this concept and see what it could do with it. The result is a game that, while functional, could really benefit from some much needed variety and content. Skypeace... read more

Witch & Hero review

A reminder of your days playing web-browser games

Anyone that grew up with the Internet at their disposal can remember the days of clicking away on various Flash-game websites, always looking for the next great way to entertain oneself. Whether it was intentional or not, F K Digital and CIRCLE managed to come up with an 8-bit RPG that brings the look and... read more

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark review

My Gatling Guns have Gatling Guns, Yo!

First of all, you're welcome for not making my tagline a reference to "More than meets the eye." That joke was dead eons ago and I'm not going to be the prick who tries to use it for a cheap laugh. Transformers has evolved from its childish, cartoony roots, and likewise, this review will be reminiscent of... read more

AiRace Xeno review

Not exactly the best racing game ever

Having never played an AiRace game before, I was hoping that AiRace Xeno would get me more interested in the series than I initially was. However, after playing through the game, I felt no more compelled to get into the series than before. While the core premise of the game is solid, AiRace Xeno suffers from... read more

SQUIDS Odyssey review

A decent tactics RPG buried beneath a lackluster story

The Game Bakers' SQUIDS Odyssey is a remake of SQUIDS and SQUIDS Wild West, originally released for PC and mobile devices. While the port contains the first two games in the SQUIDS saga, it also contains a new story chapter and further character and equipment additions to encourage a second purchase if... read more

Monkey Pirates review

You need friends for this one

Monkeys have been an important part of video gaming culture since its early steps into the industry. We have our big oaf of Donkey Kong, throwing barrels at plumbers, as you do, and we have other titles like Super Monkey Ball and the Bloons games that keep us entertained with cuteness and challenging... read more
