Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten - PC Review
One of the worst feelings as a game is having your hopes up about a game, only to come away horribly disappointed. Dungeons was one such game for me when I panned it in my review. What is even better however, are those pleasant surprises you just never see coming. Defender's...

Trials Fusion - PC Review

We do not write about the Wii real often anymore, but there are still plenty of good games out there for the system, and every now and then it is nice to take a look back at some of those we have had a chance to play recently, but not had the opportunity to review in the past....
Theatrythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call announced
Give how popular the last one was and how much worldwide adoration there is for the music in the long running , Final Fantasy series, I think it was only a matter of time until an announcement for a game like this was made by Square Enix.

2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil - PS 3 Review
I enjoy a lot of different sports titles. Probably the two types of sports most deeply engrained in my video game psyche are basketball and football. I have logged more hours than I would ever want to count on titles like Madden, NBA 2K, Tecmo Bowl and NBA Live. Other types...

Fatal Frame is one of the creepiest video game series ever to grace any console or computer. Now it may be coming to the current generation as Tecmo KOEI and Nintendo have come together to create the next iteration for the Wii U. That would be good enough news for fans of the...
Who wants to play a more classic games on their Vita?

Demon Gaze - PS Vita Review
NIS America's trend of bringing strong if niche titles to the US continues with Demon Gaze. For fans of the Wizardry or Etrian series, you should feel right at home here crawling through dungeons, grinding out levels and finding new loot to either put to use or sell. The experience...

Bound by Flame has been one of the more interesting titles to be talked about over the last several months. We love our RPGs and this one looks like it might have a great deal of potential. Focus Interactive released a quick but interesting press release along with a handful...
Cloudbuilt - PC Review
Providing players with a sense of on-foot mobility has been an evolutionary process since B.J Blazkowicz took his first steps in Wolfenstein. Shortly thereafter, a player could circle-strafe, jump or rocket jump in games such as Quake, Doom and Unreal Tournament. Players would...

Trials Fusion - Xbox One Review
The announcer in Trials Fusion likes to say: Welcome to the Future. Now that this series is finally on the latest hardware, does it get us there or not?
Trials does so many things well, it is easy to overlook the handful of smaller issues that the game has. It is immediately...
Trials Fusion - Xbox 360 Review
Racing games have historically been a series of fairly deep simulators that provide numerous facets of maintaining a vehicle on a believable track through sweeping vistas and stormy streets; Trials Fusion bundles up any sense of sincerity and tosses it into the nearest trash...
Child of Light continues to look and sound beautiful
Everything about Child of Light so far has appealed to us. The visual style is certainly distinctive, as we were able to see in screenshots found in this post. This retelling of classic fairy tales seems as though it is absolutely bursting at the seams with potential. Now we...
Warlock 2: The Exiled - PC Review
This turn-based game is an interesting strategy title set in a fantastic world where magic and cunning lend a Civilization-like flair to the proceedings. While not a perfect game, the blend of strategy and options create an interesting final result that is well worth playing...

The Bard's Tale - iPhone Review
I am not one to shy away from an RPG game, and The Bard's Tale has been around for a long time. Despite that, I never got around to playing it until somewhat recently when it was a freebie game for iOS. The humor throughout was probably the primary selling point in this classic...

Fans of Sol: Exodus have a new reason to be excited with the following press release about the updated version of the title called Exodus of Sol - which is slated for both PC and PlayStation 4 release. Also, enjoy some screenshots!

Lunar: Silver Star Harmony - PSP Review
You know how a good book, movie or game can just hit a soft spot with you no matter how long ago you last read/saw/played it? Lunar is one of those titles for me. The PSP does not get much love anymore, for it is still a great destination for older JRPG tiles, such as this ...
Hazewalker - Metroidvania title with Kickstarter later this year
Hazewalker has not gained a lot of mention yet, but looks like it might have the potential to be an interesting title. Given the story and visuals it has a dark RPG look, though the title itself is described as aiming for a more action style of play. A Kickstarter is slated...
NoScope Demon Series Gaming Glasses Review
I was not sure what to expect when I first received a pair of the extremely affordable No Scope Demon Series gaming glasses, after all I have relatively poor eyes and am extremely color deficient. To say the least I was a bit surprised when I put them on for the first time....
Atelier Shallie: Alchemist of the Dusk Sea - Early screenshots of the next in this popular JRPG series
The Atelier series may not have the history that Final Fantasy does, but for many JRPG fans it is still one of the most popular examples of the genre. The art style has always been appealing and it has only gotten better over the last few releases....
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends - PS3 Review
I was first introduced to the Dynasty Warriors game with their first release back in 1997, along with Final Fantasy 7, Dynasty Warriors was one of the first games to provide some of the most technologically amazing feats on a console ever. High quality graphics, a ton of playable...
Shining Empire - Kickstarter News on an ambitious retro title
It seems like a new Kickstarter campaign for video games creeps up every few minutes, and it can be hard to discern which ones are worth investing in and not to. I follow a lot of these and yet contribute to very little - but they often serve as an interesting source of games...
Super Motherload - PC Review
XGen Studios is one of the first developers I can think of that had me spending multiple hours playing Flash games. Defend Your Castle, Stick RPG and Motherload (all available on their website) are games I still toy around with, even some 10 years after they were released. The...
Child of Light - Preview of what looks to be a gorgeous game
Easily one of our most anticipated titles coming up in April, Child of Light is a new take on classic fairy tales. The screenshots we have seen so far have a gorgeous watercolor look to them as you take the role of Aurora in her quest to recover the sun, moon and stars that...
Meridian: New World - Preview
My first introduction to the RTS genre was shortly after my birthday near the tail end of 1994; I remember heading up to our not-so-local Babbages, Inc. to pick myself up something fun and interesting. While perusing the racks I found a computer game that had a pretty stellar...
Mario Kart 8 - Screenshots and preview
Mario Kart will forever be a favorite series of mine. I first spent lots of time with the series back on Mario Kart 64, when that title along with other classics such as Madden and GoldenEye took over college living rooms on a regular basis. Many a good time was had when someone...
Destiny of Spirits - PlayStation Vita Review
On paper, Destiny of Spirits hits so many check boxes along the way that it seems like it would be a must-buy from me the day it came out. Then I discovered it was a free-to-play game, and I had an interesting sensation. Would it be a spectacular value, or would it nickel and...
Carmageddon: Reincarnation - Preview
Vehicular combat is a genre that is not delved into that much these days. Sure, there are the "arcadey" racing games like Burnout or Flatout which entirely eschew weapons, or the odd kart racer, but they just fail scratch the same itch. There was a time when games like Twisted...
Bravely Default - Game Guide
Bravely Default recently released for the Nintendo 3DS, and it was in many ways a typical JRPG. That of course means there are various systems, things to find and other secrets worth digging into. Having spent a little over seventy hours with the game, I stumbled onto a good...
Deception IV: Blood Ties - PS Vita Review
The original Deception remains one of my fondest video game memories. I never got the chance to play parts two or three, but the first one was an absolute gem when it released on PlayStation. I had never heard of it prior to its release, but the premise was unique on several...
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition - PS4 Review
That is quite the title there, and similarly there is a lot going on with the game as well. With a ton of different modes and options, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition is every bit as hefty a game offering as the name would suggest. Of course if the gameplay...
