Card Hunter - PC Review

Card Hunter was not even on my radar a few weeks ago, and until a friend pointed it out to me, I had never heard of it. I missed the online beta, but it it up right when it released to the public, but I admit I was skeptical going into things. Web browser games have a somewhat...
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl - 3DS Review

Games like Etrian Odyssey mimic what Wizardry and others did for years. While these types of games tend to build up loyal followings, they can be somewhat difficult for newcomers to enjoy. There is a lot of grinding and plenty of challenge to be had. Recently Atlus released...
AiRace Speed - Nintendo 3DS Review

Racing titles, like platformers, are not the first genre I generally leap at, but having seen positive reviews for the prior AiRace titles and having seen the screens and gameplay footage for AiRace Speed, I was curious to see how this futuristic racing title would pan out...
Tales to Enjoy! - 3DS Review
September 24, 20133DS Review, DSi Review, Little Red Riding Hood, Nintendo DSi, Puss In Boots, Tales to Enjoy!

This is going to be one of my busier posting weeks - with five reviews in five days. Because of that, I figured I would go with a quick, lightweight review today about a pair of DSi download titles I recently had a chance to play. Tales to Enjoy! is sort of an overarching, almost...

I have gotten some very cool games from the PlayStation Plus program since signing up for it. Of more recent note are some of the bigger, full games like Borderlands, Sleeping Dogs and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. There have even been some very timely releases like...
Journey - PSN Review

Journey is not your typical video game. It does not try to be, and that is a good thing. It is more of an experience, often compared to titles like The Unfinished Swan, or to some extent, Limbo. On the one hand, because Journey uses a fairly unique style and presentation, I...
Angry Birds Star Wars - iPhone/iPad Review

Angry Birds is such an interesting title, because it can be so divisive among gamers. The concept is simple and reminds me of older trajectory based games like Scorched Earth - a title I spent a lot of time with back in high school. There is no denying the overall appeal of...

This is a cute, quick little game that was yet again one of my earlier PlayStation Plus freebies. It sort of reminds me of the old Marble Madness game I played for the NES a million years ago - except I did not enjoy this title nearly as much as I recall Marble Madness.

Persona 4 Golden - Vita Review

I was excited when my wife got me my Sony PlayStation Vita earlier this year - and rightfully so. The hardware is very impressive - I reviewed the system here. Still, as I cited then, the hardware can only do so much. I am more impressed with the Vita than the 3DS as a console,...

Two things most people who know me are aware I enjoy a great deal: Star Wars and CCG's (collectible card games). So when I heard that there would be an iOS game mixing those two elements together, I was more than a little excited. Still, when the recipe for success seems so...

Just in case anyone had any doubts about it, I am a big fan of the Madden series. If you had any doubts, you can take a peek at my top Madden Moments here. I have a lot of them, having played the vast majority of the titles on one system or another. So with all of the fanfare...
Might & Magic Duel of Champions - PC Review

It seems like most of the card games I have been playing were on mobile devices, but Magic 2014 was on both PlayStation 3 and PC, and sometimes I just like to have a bigger screen in front of me with a mouse or controller in my hand to play them. Might & Magic Duel of Champions...
