Future Tactics: The Uprising review (PS2)Reviewed on April 11, 2015It's really fun to experiment with tactics and ideas that aren't even on the table in most strategy games, such as blowing through cover, hiding in craters the crossfire has created, knocking enemies off cliffs, dropping cars on them, etc. The game's flaws are really glaring in a modern light. |

Labyrinth review (DS)Reviewed on April 09, 2015No balls. |
||
Beneath a Steel Sky: Remastered review (IOS)Reviewed on April 08, 2015The dialogue, characterisation and puzzles are so full of mad character and creative energy that you can ignore the grand narrative and still enjoy the adventure. Sure, it’s a little rough around the edges, but that’s part of the charm. |

Kendo Rage review (SNES)Reviewed on March 31, 2015Kendo Rage began life as a Japanese adventure starring a young girl who fights monsters with the aid of a spirit detective. For the US release, things were changed slightly... |

Dead Nation review (PS3)Reviewed on March 28, 2015I'm starting to get tired of twin stick shooters. I find myself not so interested in some of the new ones that come out even if they look kind of cool because I know the gameplay will be end up involving the same kinds of tactics and situations as all its genre brethren. Miraculously, it breaks with standard twin stick tropes in a few interesting ways that made it really enjoyable. |

Bioshock: Challenge Rooms review (PS3)Reviewed on March 28, 2015Although it is almost completely lacking a story, the three included levels are fully realized and could be plugged right into the main game with very little fuss. Since a little more original style Bioshock was exactly what I was looking for, this was perfect. |

The Legend of Kage 2 review (DS)Reviewed on March 22, 2015A successor. That's, well, that's one way to describe this game. |

Risk of Rain review (PC)Reviewed on March 16, 2015Something old, something new. |

Discworld review (PSX)Reviewed on March 13, 2015Once you get out of the University, you'll get to see that the rest of the town is not much better. Ankh Morpork is a circular city with it's own map over which you'll travel to various areas and meet some really colourful individuals, like the retired adventurers who never stop yapping about how they killed ogres, dragons and the like in their days with nothing but their well oiled muscles and bravado. Or the World's tallest dwarf…which is basically a human, but he identifies himself as a dwarf... |

Crossbow review (A2600)Reviewed on March 13, 2015Off the mark |

3D Fantasy Zone review (3DS)Reviewed on March 12, 2015Action! Politics! Riots! Tragedy! Adorable! |
||
Ring of Red review (PS2)Reviewed on March 09, 2015Watching a video of Ring of Red might convince you that it is almost exactly like Front Mission. But just a few minutes into playing the game you'll discover that its battle system is radically different than most turn-based games. As far as I know, there isn't really anything even remotely like it. |

Pokémon Shuffle review (3DS)Reviewed on March 09, 2015Damn it, Nintendo. |
||
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse review (WIIU)Reviewed on March 07, 2015It's nowhere near as revelatory now, but it demonstrates that the original formula wasn't a mere novelty. This is sincerely clever, time-tested stuff. |
||
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition review (PS3)Reviewed on February 16, 2015I wonder how I would like this game if it ran buttery smooth. As is, Lost Planet is a pretty flawed game to begin with. Add in the fact that you have to play it in slow motion and have your mind assaulted by terrible, long cutscenes and it's kind of a torturous experience. |
||
Thomas Was Alone review (PS3)Reviewed on February 06, 2015So many games in this crowded genre do everything so much better than Thomas Was Alone that it is almost totally obsolete. It's only worth playing if you are really interested in it's main theme or if you are a fan of the designer. |
||
Planets Under Attack review (PS3)Reviewed on February 06, 2015Unfortunately Planets Under Attack is a worse version of Galcon Labs, which already had its problems. |
||
Bermuda Triangle review (A2600)Reviewed on January 23, 2015Tin foil hat not required |
||
Contra 4 review (DS)Reviewed on January 22, 2015Upon playing a good ten or so minutes of my first Contra 4 session, WayForward's contribution to the series prompted me to do something unexpected... |

Hazumi review (3DS)Reviewed on January 12, 2015Eat your heart out, Mazda! |
