I Heart Geeks!

While many of us were (and some still are) belittled for our geekdom during our youth, as adults, geeks are the new cool. So when I Heart Geeks, the first game to come from SevenOne Intermedia, hit my desk, my initial thought was some kind of Japanese dating-sim import. After sliding it into my DS, I quickly found that I was a bit off. Ok, I was WAY off. I Heart Geeks is almost the polar opposite, where geekdom is celebrated in the most obvious way we know how: stereotyped revenge... ...

Bejeweled 3

Almost every gamer in the world knows the name “PopCap Games”. For those of you (yeas, both of you) who are unfamiliar with the game developer, they are the makers of such obscure titles as Bejeweled, Zuma, Peggle, Bookworm and everybody’s favorite tower defense game, Plants Vs. Zombies. Which brings us to this review. Yes, they released another entry in the Bejeweled franchise. Released last year on PC, this follow-up to the massively successful Bejeweled 2 has now made ...

De Blob 2

It’s cute, it’s colorful, and it’s on the DS. That’s right, over the course of the last week, I sat down and worked my way through de Blob 2 from THQ and Syfy Kids. I rather enjoyed playing this platforming, color splashing blobby adventure as the squishy hero made his way through the various levels to stop evil Dr. Von Blot’s plans. Along the way, you will splash color around the world - both as you travel or during the various in level challenge missions - or ...

Pokemon Black/White

Gotta catch em all!! You probably had one of two reactions to that. Either you turned your head in disgust or you’re blood pressure skyrocketed as you jumped out of your chair looking for your life-size Pokeball. If the former is correct, stop reading this and go check out our Bulletstorm or Torchlight reviews. If the latter applies, I’m surprised you are actually even here as odds are you were one of the million people who already bought Pokemon Black or White on launch day... ...

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded

Spending a week with some familiar friends is always an interesting experience and this week, I’ve spent mine hanging out with Sora, Riku, Goofy, Donald, Mickey, and the rest of the Kingdom Hearts gang. Sitting down with my DS in hand, I plugged in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded and off I went once more into the worlds created by Disney and brought to digital life by Square-Enix. Having played the main arc of KH 1, Chain of Memories, 2, and checking out some of the off shoots, I was again ...

Radiant Historia

It’s all about old school JRPG fun in Radiant Historia on the Nintendo DS. Coming from Atlus - who is well known for these kinds of titles - Radiant Historia really brought back the type of nostalgic experience we all grew up on. Packing several story arcs, time travel, side-view battles, side quests, magic, weapons, and the many trappings of a classic RPG; Radiant Historia has it all. Right off the bat I felt the thrill of the memories of days gone by for this genre. After a few ...

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem

Since its launch nearly two years ago, there are have only been a handful of really enjoyable DSiWare titles. One of those highlights was the puzzle-platformer Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again. Since it essentially went under the radar, Nintendo decided to release the next game in the franchise, Mario vs Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem as a retail release. It takes a lot of the same mechanics and features of the DSi game, adds more content and gives fans of both the puzzle genre and ...

Transformers: War for Cybertron - Autobots

Transformers: War For Cybertron for the Xbox 360/PS3 came out of the gate as a pleasant surprise for fans of the brand, finally giving the franchise a proper video game treatment after years of dismal tie-ins. Taking a title to other hardware platforms can be a risky prospect as there will surely be differences that will ultimately be compared to the superior version (in this case, the Xbox 360/PS3). The Wii edition of War For Cybertron has already failed to live up to the expectation. Does ...

Transformers: War for Cybertron - Decepticons

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

There are times when we play video games because we want to have some mindless entertainment. Then there are times when we want to stimulate the brain and have a sense of accomplishment when we do something right or get past a challenging situation. The previous two North American releases of the Professor Layton series on the Nintendo DS has managed to offer not only fantastic stories and tons of content, but they have also been able to educate us. The third game in the series, Professor ...
