Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack Review
People think it’s easy being a blob—all you do is consume a few teenagers making out on Lover’s Lane and pretty soon you’re big enough to terrorize an entire movie theater. The harsh reality is that being one isn’t easy. You have to start small before you even begin to think about taking over the…

Zynga Releases Tiny Tower Clone, NimbleBit Strikes Back
Remember Tiny Tower? We placed it at #8 in our Best Games of 2011 list, and Apple flat-out awarded it their iPhone Game of the Year. Apparently Zynga, the publisher of such titles as Words With Friends and FarmVille, noticed the game as well, and they’ve made a pretty shameless clone of it, called Dream…

Knight, Ranger, Cleric, Wizard, and Thief… these are the five traditional fantasy classes Simutronics has offered at your disposal in their new game Tiny Heroes. By this we mean that it is your job to dispose of them. Despite what the title might lead you to believe, you do not take up the role of…

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate Review
The time has come to once again follow Simon Belmont on his quest to defeat Dracula, but the plot and presentation of Mirror of Fate only appears familiar. Beneath its viewable-in-3D, playable-in-2D, surface there is a storyline that walks down its own path, using the original series storyline as a guide rather than the rule.…

Spore Galactic Adventures Review
Will Wright’s Spore was one of last year’s most innovative PC games and spawned one of the largest collections of phallic-symbol monsters on ever seen. But there was one thing lacking: when you ventured into the space age you couldn’t go to a planet and roam around the environment as you had done in the…

Disney Think Fast Review
Maybe it was a mistake from the beginning, thinking that a Disney trivia game was going to have something to offer adult fans of Disney movies looking for nostalgia. Maybe it was a mistake thinking that a Disney trivia game would have questions about Disney films. Or, indeed, have anything to appeal to persons over…

Need for Speed: Shift Review
The last few Need for Speed games haven’t really managed to push the racing genre forward too much. By and large, they’ve been serviceable, but for every NFS game that came out, you could probably point to one or two of its contemporaries that did things better. However, EA has recently been making noises about…

Warhammer Online Review
Most online RPGs begin with the individual deciding what they want their character to be, look like, and do. Character creation in WAR starts out with the player choosing a side they want to fight for. The Order side consists of the Dwarfs, Empire, and the High Elves, all of which can be slotted into…

Mushihimesama Bug Panic Review
Mushihimesama (“Insect Princess”) Bug Panic is the latest shooter to come from the mad scientist designers at Cave, who have recklessly opened a portal to Bullet Hell to use in the planning and production of their games. It’s insanely hard at times, but Mushihimesama Bug Panic is also one of the best two-stick shooters on…

Darklings Review
Darklings is a game clearly influenced by the likes of Limbo, but despite the graphic similarities, the actual gameplay is very different. Instead of a macabre side-scrolling adventure, this is a strange, endless, gesture-based battle against the forces of evil. It’s a creative, simple game that’s easy to learn, but challenging to master. In Darklings,…
-
Galcon Review
Independent developer Phil Hassey’s Galcon is a fast-paced game of galactic conquest. We mean really fast-paced, with a typical round lasting a couple of minutes–complete with fleet movements and multiple planetary takeovers, retreats and reinforcements. Galcon is well-designed for short play sessions on the iPhone, and strategy game fans will have a field day swapping…

Street Fighter IV Review
Street Fighter IV has just received a free update that adds Cammy and Zangief to the roster of playable characters, bringing the grand total to ten. Zangief is a hulking block of muscle who moves slower than a drunken snail but who packs a wallop in every punch and grapple. He’s so tall that his…

Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts Review
There’s no doubt that with Company of Heroes, Relic practically reinvented the WWII-themed real-time strategy, which has long since been regarded as a rapidly decaying genre. In a sense, Company of Heroes introduced a whole new aspect of real-time combat in strategy games, with units making the most out of the terrain to gain tactical…
