Most downloadable content is too miniscule to devote a complete review to. But sometimes we still want to highlight such an add-on or two. Thus, A Look At: a sort of mini-review/impressions piece or whatever term you prefer for when we wish to highlight DLC, general post-release updates for games (say, Monaco’s recent level editor),…
Naughty Boy‘s idea of fun is elusive, ethereal. It’s simple, but repetitive. The goal of the game is to destroy the objects in a variety of environments, warding off your family members who try to thwart your dastardly foray into destructive psychopathy. Enemies spawn in the form of grandma, dad, sis, bro, mom, all of these…
It’s a testament to Telltale Games’ skill as developers that they’re able to continuously craft interesting and believable characters. Very important for a franchise that thrives on character drama such as The Walking Dead. Last year’s inaugural season delivered spectacularly on this front. Everyone – from regulars to one-off individuals – felt real, relatable. But…
There’s no doubt Telltale’s The Walking Dead series left a mark in adventure gaming, so it’s no surprise season two is well under way. What’s surprising, though, is that for the first time ever, there will be a downloadable pack bridging both seasons, dubbed The Walking Dead: 400 Days. 400 Days references the first 400…
Scurvy Scallywags is a surprise. Because it is a match 3 game, I expected something along the lines of a palette-swapped and pirate-themed Bejeweled, Ron Gilbert be damned. What I got was a resplendent game oozing with quirky and smart dialogue, tongue-in-cheek humor, and a nicely laid out and thematic interface. Scurvy Scallywags is structured…
Entertainium is going to E3 2013. That announcement alone is enough to make me smile, not only because this is yet another opportunity for me to go to E3, but also because it’s our first time going there officially as Entertainium. What does that mean in terms of content? Well, fellow editors Callum Rakestraw and…
If I’ve learned anything from The Sushi Spinnery, it’s that I’m a woefully uncreative sushi chef and that sushi restaurants have schedules on par with Bangladeshi sweatshops. However, whether these lessons are an accurate representation of owning a sushi restaurant is another matter. The Sushi Spinnery is Kairosoft’s latest English-released management simulator for the iPhone. Most similar to Hot Springs Story, The Sushi…
Zen Studios’ best kept secret set of tables is finally out and it’s easily one of their best efforts to date. It’s Star Wars Pinball, a set of three tables based on George Lucas fan (and hater) favorite Star Wars franchise. For the uninitiated, Pinball FX2 is a free to play pinball Xbox Live Arcade…
Cogntion: An Erica Reed Thriller is getting scarier and grittier with each new episode. The Wise Monkey, the second chapter in Cognition continues to deliver an impressive and surprisingly mature narrative, with yet another chilling, yet exciting investigation that picks up from where The Hangman left off. Things are even more personal for Erica after her…
Combining two ridiculously different things into a new, better and more delicious product isn’t a common nowadays. In games, developers tend to stick with the tried and true formulas, rarely venturing outside their comfort zone. When they do, though, we usually get the best games. For instance, in the case of Zen Studios, the combination…
