    I am completely new to the Pushmo series, having never played the two 3DS games (Pushmo and Crashmo), but after seeing some really positive reviews for Pushmo World, out for the Wii U, I decided to give it a try. I’m sure glad I did. I don’t play a whole lot of puzzle games, but…

  • 1001 Spikes

    This is a really great game to have on your Vita. First off, the full title is Aban Hawkins and the 1001 Spikes, and yeah, it’s an Indy-esque flavored game with the difficulty of a Spelunky, and incredibly difficult environments to traverse. And even though I’m usually not that into playing games that like to…

  • Battlefield Hardline

    I sure didn’t like this game. When it first leaked, I got pretty excited because the idea of you playing cops made me think that it might be similar to Rainbow Six – and Rainbow Six Vegas is still my favorite RPS experience. But no, this is nothing more than Battlefield set in a city,…

    I had a chance to play the alpha release last weekend, and man, am I looking forward to more of this. As I’ve said many times, I’m admittedly not that big into FPSes, and never really got into Halo – the Xbox is the only modern console I didn’t own, and so I missed the…

  • Dominion

    So this is a sequel series to the movie Legion, which I haven’t seen, but I decided to check out the first episode because I had heard some good things about it – and hey, I like Anthony Head – and also because I’m a bit hungry for genre stuff these days. I don’t know…

    I ended up really getting into Defiance during its first season – after a so-so start – and so been looking forward to the start of the second season. We’re just one episode in, but there are some interesting new things brewing, and so here’s hoping for a satisfying continuation. Feels like there’s really not…

    It’s rainy season. It’s wet. And I’ve been doing a piss poor job of doing any kind of writing here. That’s not to say I don’t do any writing – I sure tweet like a motherfucker, and still keep up with my media consumption diary of games I’m playing, and TV/movies I’m watching – but…

    Boy am I having fun with this game. I still remember teasing a lot of my friends here who were excited for the Japanese edition when it came out last year, and this is what happened. So after seeing the super silly (and funny) trailer that Nintendo released when they announced that it would come…

  • Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball

    I got this when it first came out a couple of months ago, but just realized I never ended up mentioning it here. It’s an interesting little game for the 3DS – it’s a free download, and you buy baseball-themed mini-games inside, 10 in all. The really interesting part is that when it comes to…

  • Trine 2

    Of the new PS4 offerings through PS+ last week, this is the one I’ve played the least, but I was curious to see how it looked, and unsurprisingly, it looks great. I played the original Trine – on PS3 I think – and it’s a game I had fun with. I like platformers, and I…
