Tappingo 2 Review

THE SUDOKO OF PICTURE PUZZLES

Puzzle games are often a hit-or-miss genre. You’ll often find a game that has little appeal or the concept has been done so many times that you just get sick of them. These games are just carbon-copies of other iterations of the same idea, but tweaked just enough so that no one gets sued.

Velocity 2X Review

RACING INTO THE BIG LEAGUES

A month before it had even been released, FuturLab made a bold claim that their title Velocity 2X is the game of the year. The article went on to focus on how Velocity 2X exemplifies the categories for a game of the year nomination: “best-in-class for audio, graphics, gameplay quality & production value.” To my delight and amusement, I am glad to report that Velocity 2X meets the high bar they set for themselves — FuturLab has made a game that rivals the likes of Housemarque’s Resogun for best arcade game on PlayStation consoles.

Warframe Review Xbox One

A GOOD GAME MIRED IN SMALL PROBLEMS

In 2008 the Canadian studio Digital Extremes released a game called Dark Sector, a gritty action game about a special operations soldier who got infected by a new biological weapon that turned his arm into an oversized throwing star. It did okay, but it had strayed away from its original vision of an awesome space ninja in a super-powered suit of armor. Enter Warframe. Digital Extremes took that vision and turned it into the free-to-play mission-based shooter we have today. It originally released for PlayStation 4 last November as a launch game and it has been in beta form on PC since March 2013. Finally Xbox One owners get a chance to see what this game is all about.

BlazBlue: Clone Phantasma Review

Fighters, Both Cute and Dangerous!

Sometimes players enjoy a lengthy, in-depth storyline that catches their attention. A game that has thousands of permutations with your choice of characters, skills, equipment, and areas to explore. Other times, players enjoy a simple game with one goal: fight enemies. Blazeblue: Clone Phantasma is one of those games that you can pick up and easily beat the snot out of some foes, all while looking like cute figurines.
