• Jumping to New Heights… Abduction! 2 [Review]

    Before I get into the nitty gritty of this review, allow me to just say a couple things:
    First, I’m a huge fan of the original Abduction! World Attack. During a time when Android gaming was largely unpolished and crude, Phil Symonds gave us a game that was not only fun, but also very well presented.
    Second, [...]

  • What Have I Done?… Amnesia: The Dark Descent [Review]

    There are games that are fun right away and lose their luster after a few hours. There are games that take time to get into to really enjoy, and then a game comes along like Frictional’s adventure horror Amnesia: The Dark Descent. A title which demands a commitment to the idea of immersion from both the player [...]

  • Onwards and Upwards with Comic Jumper [PAX]

    Twisted Pixel is something of an indie success story – and that might be putting it mildly. While there are around twenty employees now, with more being considered as I type, the company was originally started with just a few. The team jumped up to six or seven folks for The Maw’s development and moved [...]

  • Yeyifications!… Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale [Review]

    Next time you’re off galavanting around a massive RPG world, slaying monsters and fulfilling your destiny, spare a thought for the shopkeeper in the last town who sold you all your gear.

    96 Pixels of Violence: Retro City Rampage [PAX]

    Retro City Rampage has been a work of over seven years, though its retro inspirations reach far deeper into the past than that. Brian Provinciano first conceived the idea as way of bringing Grand Theft Auto to the Nintendo Entertainment System with a version he called Grand Theftendo. But as time passed and the idea [...]

    Afros Have Never Looked Betta… Frobot [PAX]

    When we initially covered Frobot way back in November of last year, Frobot was a rather simple puzzle-esque Smash TV type game. It was quite simple to explain because it was a relatively simple game. After months of redesigning and a completely remade game, however, Frobot has undergone some serious gameplay changes that not only [...]

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take some of your favorite modern games and mash them into the retro stylings of the 80’s console systems, a la NES? I know I have.

    Shmup Loving DSi Owners to get Their Fix with Cosmos X2

    As a gamer/writer I pride myself in owning nearly everything that can play a video game. Seriously, name it and I’ve probably got it (unless it’s one of those really niche devices). Still, the one thing that has alluded me is Nintendo’s DSi. I own a DS, but not a DSi as, at the time [...]
