The Nintendo DSi XL was announced not long ago for the American market, despite having been available in Japan for years. With the DSi able to be an eBook reader (along with more books coming soon) one can think that with the larger feel and screen of the DSi XL that it may be better for eBooks and more versatile than something like the Kindle. Let’s do some comparisons.
Considering the amount of coverage we’ve given Press Start Studio’s Twin Blades: The Reaping Vanguard (which tackled the initial announcement of the Xbox Live Indie Game port, and later the interview with Philippe Rapin, co-founder of Press Start Studio), I believe it high time that I turn a critical eye toward the game itself. Twin [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: King of Fighters XII is one of the most misunderstood video games of 2009. Sure the roster and movesets were sacrificed to the grand god of high-resolution 2D sprites, but SNK Playmore built a remarkably fun fighting engine that made up for some of the game’s [...]
For those of us with an epic case of, “teh noms” you may want to check out Sushi Cat. What’s even better is because of the fact that you’ll be feeding a cat in the game, you can go on to say that you’ll be having lunch with your kitty. It’s the first TimeWaster I’ve done in a while that has actually made me smile because the game is actually very cute and it satisfies me at the same time.
Remember when you were a young’un playing Rad Racer, Mario Kart, or (sigh!) Burnout how you’d tilt and rotate the controller as though the action would actually lean you into corners? It didn’t make logical sense as the d-pad or analog sticks controlled movement, but it just felt, so, so right. Nintendo, which has as [...]
We’ve been reporting a bit on the Legend of Vraz and now that it is finally released, quality PC time has been spent with the game. I’ve gotten through most of the first section of the game so far and have played enough to give you my first impressions and thoughts on the game vs. what I was expecting.
After spending quite some time with Sands of Destruction for the Nintendo DSi, I can give you a verdict: What the Hell?! That’s exactly what I’ve felt in many spots within the game. While the gameplay value in between the millions of cut-scenes is really solid, there are still loads of them. But there’s a lot more to this game then all that. Hit the jump for more.
Neo-retro titles are all the rage these days as developers that were once enamored with the old school games of yore now have a chance to create their very own on the cheap. In most cases, games such as Mega Man 10 duplicates the aesthetics of video games from a particular era, but very few [...]
Some new screen shots of Sonic 4 were leaked showing off Dr. Robotnik. Remember how annoying he could be when facing off against him in the old school version of Sonic? Well, we’re proud to tell you that your old nemesis looks like he hasn’t aged a day in his life. He’s also still back to building those weird machines to get his dirty work done. It’d be interesting to see just how complicated and smart he’s become. You used to just have to jump off of springs and come down hard on him a couple of times to take him out. Maybe the old Doctor never heard of extra armor.

A little over a week ago we brought you news of Street Fighter IV for iPhone. Well, after days of speculation, GamePro has brought us video of the game in action and from what I can tell, March can add one more kickass release to its roster. Slated to hit the iPhone and iPod touch sometime [...]
