Review – Shatter (PC)

Sidhe | March 15th, 2011 I seem to be picking up a lot on Breakout clones lately.  Or maybe it’s just games that at the core are remakes of older classics I’ve been hitting a lot lately.  I suppose it’s an easy gimmick, take something people like, flashy it up and add a new gimmick or two, then throw it out into the world.  I’m not really complaining or anything but Shatter, like BIT.TRIP BEAT and Meteor, has it’s core in the game Breakout. It adds a few gimmicks to help keep it fresh at least. It’s kind of hard…

Review – Poker Night at the Inventory (PC)

Telltale Games | Nov 22, 2010 So Telltale games, makers of something like 90% of the Adventure games on the market (maybe) had an interesting idea. Why not take the idea of computer poker, and instead of playing against made up kooky PC characters you don’t recognizes, why not throw in a cast of known characters from popular games and nerd sites. Thus, you end up with Poker Night at the Inventory. You play poker against Tycho from Penny-Arcade, The Heavy, of Team Fortress 2 Fame, Telltale’s defacto mascot, Max, from the Sam & max series, and Strong Bad from the…

Review – Nintendo Game & Watch Collection (NDS)

I posted a photo of this game once I finally managed to acquire it to Flickr and it received the comment question “Is it worth it?”.  You see, Game & Watch isn’t your standard Nintendo DS game, it can only be acquired (in the US) through the Club Nintendo Points promotional system.  If you’re unfamiliar with how this works, most Nintendo titles on DS and Wii comes with little slips that include a code.  When you register the game on the Club Nintendo website, you get points.  I’m not positive but I think it’s something like 40 points per game. …

Review – Kirby Super Star Ultra (NDS)

A few months ago, I put out a request to my friends online to recommend some DS games.  The key was, I felt that I was stuck in a rut and I wanted something different that I wouldn’t likely even consider normally. After several good suggestions, I decided on Kirby Super Star Ultra.  I’ve played Kirby’s Dreamland and Kirby’s Adventure many years ago and I’m pretty sure they were alright.  I have this unnatural love for Kirby’s Pokemon clone Jigglypuff.  It was a platform game, something I generally enjoy a lot.  I ended up picking it up.  Ok, gambling on…

Review – Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA)

Ah yes, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.  Things finally start to come together for out portable Castlevania titles.  This one is set pretty far in the future compared to most of the other Castlevania games so the overall styling is a bit of a treat as well, well, it could have been… The Belmonts are pretty much the heroes of the Castlevania series but really there’s probably as many if not more games NOT starring Belmonts than there are games with them.  This game is one of those games, starring the fruitiest hero of any game in the series, Soma Cruz. …
