  • Strike a Pose, There’s Nothing to It

    ,

    Strike a pose. Last week – on Saturday, which was the day “Fashion’s Night Out” was held – as we were walking down Omotesando, we were stopped by a group who were taking street shots for Vogue Japan, to be used on the magazine’s website, and possibly other sites. They of course wanted to shoot…

  • Velocity 2X

    ,

    I liked Velocity Ultra, but wow, Velocity 2X is really something else. The ship sequences are still as fun as ever, but what really stands out are the old school Metroid-like 2D action/platforming sequences, when you’re out of your ship. I like how you go from one to the other throughout a level, and the…

  • PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

    ,

    I’m a bit surprised considering I’m not big into fighting games, and that I know this game didn’t do well in general, but I’m actually having a really fun time with it (it’s currently free for Playstation Plus members). I’ve only been playing on Vita so far, but I took Ratchet and just loved going…

  • Joe Danger

    ,

    I love the Joe Danger games so much, I’ve played all of them – including the fantastic iOS versions – and I’m still happy to be playing the first one, this time on Vita. It’s still fun, and it does feel really good on Vita. I’m of course so excited for No Man’s Sky, but…

  • TxK

    ,

    What a fantastic game. Minter’s been releasing psychedelic shooters for what seems like forever, and this is absolutely the best game he’s released as Llamasoft. It looks gorgeous on the Vita screen, and although it takes some time to get used to Tempest controls with a stick or even d-pad (which I prefer), I’m loving…

  • Deep Under the Sky

    —

    ,

    This is a near perfect game on iOS. Just look at those visuals, which look even better when everything is moving, and add on gameplay that evolves as you go from chapter to chapter, but remains a one-button game the whole time. Touching that button initiates various abilities which are all lined up in the…

  • Glorkian Warrior: Trials of Glork

    —

    ,

    I can’t remember why I didn’t pick this up earlier – since I quite like James Kochalka’s work (including his music) – but it’s on sale for a buck right now and so I grabbed it, and I suddenly got addicted to it. It takes Space Invaders, mixed in with Gorf, with more movement on…

  • Azure Striker Gunvolt

    ,

    Having so many friends excited for this game – when it was released earlier this month in Japan – got me excited for it too, and I’m really glad I picked it up. It’s a 2D Mega Man-like action platformer, and yes, it’s fun to play, and it also has a cool cyberpunk setting –…
