Review – BIT.TRIP BEAT (PC)

Gaijin Games |  Nov 2nd, 2010 What do you get when you take the simplicity of Pong, a game that involves hitting small square “balls” with a rectangular paddle, and add in some musical aspects, a bit of plot, and ramp up the play mechanics beyond a 2 player game of tennis?  Whatever it would be, it’s probably pretty close to BIT.TRIP BEAT. Ok, really the only thing they really share in common is hitting balls with paddles and retro styling. The general premise here is that you must deflect a series of rhythmic balls back with your paddle.  They…

Phoenix Wright is a unique…

Review – Your Doodles are Bugged! (PC)

Blitz 1UP | 04.05.2011 This is one of those games I’ve been meaning to look into since it was released.  That is, it showed up one day on Steam’s New Release list, it seemed kind of interesting, so I stuck it on my wish list.  Then I never got around to actually getting it or trying it or picking it up.  It’s an interesting little title that comes off as sort of a combination of something like Crayon Physics and Lemmings. On it’s surface, it IS a combination of Crayon Physics and Lemmings.  You have to draw lines on the…
