Review – Battle Arena Toshiden (GB)

1-2 Players Fight to be the ultimate fighting master in this uh.. fighting game!  I haven't played any other Battle Arena Toshiden Games, so I can't really comment on how close this comes. Graphics: 8/10 Super deformed anime characters all around plus the occasional cut scene sequence. There's even a nice little animation of Ellis at the beginning.  It's easy to tell your fighter from the other fighter and when a character fights himself the opponent is darker in color.  I haven't played two players ever so I don't know if the player controlling is always normal colored to themselves. …

Review – The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (PC)

Aside from Saints Row the III, I’ve been spending a decent amount of my gaming time playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I have made it no secret that I am a huge fan of this series of games. I like free form games in general, Skyrim is no exception. While it is very enjoyable, there seems to have been some core focus shift in the design of this game, especially when comparing it to Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout, and New Vegas. Here’s a few general observations… The game seems to be much more story focused. Or possibly the story is…

Review – Trine 2 (PC)

Frozenbyte | 12.07.2011 It feels uncommon for Indie games to get sequels.  It really probably isn’t but it just seems to be the case.  There could be a myriad of reasons behind this of course, return doesn’t work out to enough from the investment or even just the developer exhausted every angle they could push for a title in it’s fist outing.  Whatever the reason, Frozenbyte, the creators of Trine, didn’t follow that model and gave us a sequel. Really, Trine deserves a sequel more than most indie games anyway.  The original game is extremely well done all around.  It…

Review – Dino D-Day (PC)

So I was pretty excited over Dino D-Day when it was first announced.  The idea seemed goofy and it was accompanied by a campy campaign of fake WWII posters about Dinosaurs.  Plus, few games let you really play as Dinosaurs that I can think of.  Actually the only one I can think of is Jurassic Park on the Genesis, which was pretty awesome to play as the Velociraptor.  This was back in the days when Velociraptors looked like bad ass mini T-Rexes and not this modern day “They have feathers and look like Dinosaur Chickens” bull crap.  SCREW YOU SCIENCE.…
