If you enjoy action stealth experiences like those found in the early Metal Gear games and games like Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell (except being 2-D) and you like new retro-styled games in the modern era, chances are good you can enjoy this game, even if it doesn’t have the most...
As a big fan of the original and of Tetris in general, it really pains me to give Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 this score. I really want it to be higher, but the persistence of the sensitivity problem had me throwing down my controller and cursing in rage too much...
The only auditory weakness might be the music. It’s not the music itself, which is honestly very good, it’s just very… muted, for what is supposed to be an action game. The music is all appropriate for the setting – typical China-y type of composition – and there is some...
I had enough fun with those, and also just rocking out to the wonderful music, that I can mostly overlook the game’s minor gameplay stumbles. No Straight Roads is an excellent experience that I encourage any lover of both music and gaming to have a look at. It’s not flawless,...
Bottom line: Fight Crab offers an entertaining, and refreshingly unique experience and is certainly worth a look for that. But the game feels very rough around the edges and I think it needs some more time to have its flaws ironed out. If you don’t expect too much from it,...
After the relative failure that was Duke Nukem Forever, it is great to see a game which rekindles that old classic Duke feel with a new (if not overly similar) IP. It has a number of stumbles, but if you want to take a 25-year blast-to-the-past, Ion Fury doesn’t surpass...
If you’ve already played and enjoyed Orochi 4 itself, the Ultimate expansion makes everything better. The only downside is the asking price ($39.99) for existing owners of the game is a bit high for an add-on, but…you really do get a lot for the money. If you’re a fan and...
Okay, it’s final thoughts time. King of Cards was seemingly stuck in development hell for a while. The delays kept piling up, and this again resulted in a situation where some players might have their expectations for a free expansion to a now five-year old game so high that that...
If you’re a younger gamer, you may well look at a game like this and wonder what the point is, just getting high scores and such. But this game hearkens back to the old days, where seeing your name on the high score list on the arcade machine and bragging...
The gameplay is great, but the game’s other problems are too substantial to simply overlook. This game is being sold at near-AAA-title prices ($50 on PC and higher on console), but it has too many issues to recommend as a full price title. The gameplay aspects are very solid and...
Despite my lack of interest in the Senran Kagura franchise itself, I genuinely had a fun time playing. Even if you aren’t a big fan of overt sex appeal or anime aesthetics, there’s a pretty good chance you can have fun here too. Underneath all the anime girl stuff, there’s...
That said, none of that makes up for the excessively floaty controls, bad camera that makes everything harder than it should be, completely disconnected story elements, and overall feeling of frustration that overtook any fun I could have had playing this. If you are a hardcore fan of anime and...
