Kokuga review

Slow and steady.

There's really only one significant niche that would find enjoyment from a title like this. That, to the ire of major publishers around the world, is not a mark against the game's favor, but the short of the matter is that unending, unrelenting challenge only appeals to a small minority. The likes of whom... read more

Fishdom H2O: Hidden Odyssey review

You won't find Nemo in this Odyssey.

Fishdom H2O: Hidden Odyssey is an odd little eShop game that is all about discovering underwater rubbish. In order to earn money for an aquatic exhibit, we dive into the deep along with Jennifer, an ambitious marine biologist to salvage some of the random items that clutter the ocean floor.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team review

A sweet dream or a snooze?

When Super Mario RPG came out to critical and commercial success, Nintendo had a problem. Because its relationship with co-developer Squaresoft was strained for sticking with cartridges during the days of the N64, a sequel of sorts would be difficult to make. However, the split resulted in two new Mario RPG... read more

DuckTales: Remastered review

Did this Tale of Daring-Do need to be told again?

Most people who play video games are aware of an unfortunate fact. Like a lot of other merchandise, most games that are based on a license tend to... well, suck. So it came as a pleasant surprise in the days of the NES to find quite a few good games based on Disney properties, many developed by Capcom. Of... read more

Star Wars Pinball review

No scum or villainy here.

Pinball games occupy a strange non-genre of virtual copies to antiquated experiences. Many of us look to pinball as a symbol of yesterday's primitive entertainment, vanquished by our new and improved games. The world simply doesn't need to flick around a metal ball now that we have high def shaders and force... read more

Crash City Mayhem review

Massive mayhem leads to a quick burnout.

At some point, every kid has probably imagined being a super cool spy. Wearing expensive suits featuring all the greatest high tech gadgetry and, of course, driving a tricked out spy car. This is the advertised premise of the 3DS title Crash City Mayhem (which is a much more accurate summary of the... read more

EarthBound review

Say Fuzzy Pickles!

Releasing near the end of the Super Nintendo's life, EarthBound could be seen as a right game being released at the wrong time... at least in the western market. Not only was the game released three years before Final Fantasy 7 would make the genre 'cool' for console gamers, but it was also one of the first... read more
