9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors (999) is developed by Chunsoft games, and part of the Zero Escape series. With a name like 999, there is so little telling what the game is about, it’s how I was drawn into it’s mystery. It’s another game that I haven’t heard much press on, and [...]
Star Trek could have been a great game; should have been a great game, but it falls short by a rather large margin. The game feels like it’s missing, at the very least, a year of work. The lack of polish makes the game feel like it’s half-finished. All the core mechanics are there, as [...]
Resident Evil, the patriarch of the horror video game genre has both delighted and frustrated gamers since 1996. The latest chapter in the series, Resident Evil Revelations proves not to disappoint on either level. If the unwieldy controls, abysmal voice acting, and nonsensical storyline don’t deter fans from coming back for more, the payoff is [...]

Hyperdimesion Neptuinia Victory was a game I wasn’t sure that I was going to get or not. I would see the first or second game of the series on the shelves and I would be skeptical at best. “Purple, Japanese style girls with serious looks on their faces, would I really enjoy this game?” [...]
For as long as I’ve known, people have always wanted a DC fighting game. Marvel has had Marvel vs Capcom since the 90′s but there has never been a good game with DC comics’ superheroes, until now. Mortal Kombat vs DC was an alright game but it was stuck between the two franchises and it wasn’t very [...]
Guacamelee! already had quite a bit of hype to live up to. Mutant Blobs Attack was a great launch title on the Vita but Guacamelee! is a classic 2D platformer for a new age of video games and really lives up to the hype. There a very few 2D platformers that are being made nowadays which [...]
