You know what’s getting tiring? Twin stick shooters. You wanna know what else is getting tiring? Zombie games. So why the hell are we getting TWO twin stick zombie shooters on the psn. The first of which is Zombie Apocalypse published by Konami. To be fair it isn’t a bad game, and it seems like [...]

Bubble Bobble Neo Demo

Posted on September 21, 2009 in: Reviews, XBLA

I was really surprised to see this pop up on XBLA. Taito had a string of remakes recently released, but I hadn’t heard anything about Bubble Bobble being remade. Bubble Bobble is the precursor to the Bust a Move series and features the same characters (though a completely different style of gameplay). If you are [...]

Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao – The first downloadable 3d game!

Posted on August 31, 2009 in: PSN, Reviews, XBLA

XBLA’s summer of Arcade is over. With the last title Shadow Complex, easily being the best, I would have expected some kind of shovelware XBLA game to come out this week. Well the good news is that the game that was released is actually pretty good. The bad news is that it’s also 1200 MS [...]

Shadow Complex. A next gen Metroidvania by the Gears of War developer!

Shadow Complex is a dream come true for a lot of gamers including myself. That’s the realization of a next gen 2d action exploration game. This genre has been dubbed by “Metroidvania” by gamers, most because the only two series to really create games like this are Metroid and Castlevania. The genre is definitely lacking [...]

‘Splosion Man didn’t really have a lot of press. Aside from the funny name, and that it was part of Xbox’s summer of arcade line-up I heard nothing about it prior to its release. I played the demo when it came out and was intrigued. It was a pretty interesting take on the puzzle based [...]

Anyone who saw my original post about the MvC2 PSN demo knows how excited I was for this game (see below). I won’t repeat myself, but the demo was very sparse and with the full game out, a review of the full game needs to be completed. The full version launched on PSN and XBLA [...]

Crystal Defenders: Final Fantasy Tower Defense

Posted on August 11, 2009 in: PSN, XBLA

Final Fantasy Crystal Defenders was originally a mobile game. It was a limited tower defense clone that only stood out because it used character designs from Final Fantasy Tactics A2 and was simple enough to play on a touch screen like the iPhone. Don’t confuse simple with easy though. Crystal Defenders for PS3 and XBLA [...]
