When you wish upon a star, would you wish for a remake of your childhood’s favorite videogames? Besides my awful Disney pun, writing this review up is a fair opportunity to ask how far nostalgia can carry a game. As I was playing Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse HD, the remake to one of…
Spelunky has finally made its way from Xbox 360 to both the PC and PlayStation 3/Vita as a cross-buy title, as in you buy it for whatever system and you get both versions of the game for Sony platforms. We’ve already reviewed the game back on release last year, but it’s a good idea to…
The concept for Divekick started out as a joke among members of the fighting game community last year. It was mostly a satirical take at how fighting games could be distilled into a simple set of rounds with one-hit-kill duels, only make use of two buttons and still be pretty exciting. Fast forward a year…
Castle of Illusion is easily one of SEGA Genesis’ most iconic games. And now that remakes are all around, it’s Mickey’s turn to get a facelift. SEGA is handling the remake and it’s soon to be released on Playstation 3 on September 3th and on Xbox 360 and PC on September 4th, for $15 or…
In today’s world, with so many gigantic, million selling, big budget games, it’s easy to forget how difficult it can be for someone to actually sit down and make one of them. Every year, we get dozens and dozens of options to play and enjoy, which for most, is more than enough of a reason…

Muteki’s E3 demo centered around showing off the multiple storyline aspect of Book II, which evolves the graphical presentation and gameplay up…
It’s easy to point out clichés in any sort of media. Videogames are no different. Putting ghosts and a murder mystery is what Murdered: Soul Suspect is all about. Taking place in Salem, Murdered stars detective Ronan O’Connor. Unluckily for Ronan, things aren’t looking up for him. He was just killed. While death is usually…
I would be a fool, a liar, and a contrarian lout to point fingers at the landscape of reviewers, snarl angrily, and with a nasally voice shout that The Last of Us isn’t a damn good game. It is. But I would also be a fool, a liar, and a conformist hack to say that…
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.
