Review: Sine Mora (XBLA)
Most of you have played at least one bullet hell shoot’em up. Maybe it was Ikaruga or Radiant Silvergun, or perhaps something like Metal Slug or Geometry Wars. “Bullet Hell” is one of the most appropriately coined terms any genre has ever received. Sine Mora, the latest title from Digital Reality, in collaboration with Grasshopper Studios, is another fine example of a bullet hell...[Read More]
Review: Defenders of Ardania (XBLA)
I remember quite enjoying a flash based web tower defense game years ago. I had played tower defense style games before, but none had really captured my attention or entertained me in the way Desktop Tower Defense did. Something about the design of the enemies, the open area for building mazes of damage, and the desktop background all clicked for me and gave me what remains to this day one of my f...[Read More]
SimCity GlassBox Engine Demo – Part One
I am excited about next year’s SimCity in ways that are unnatural and entirely inappropriate. Perhaps I share too much, but there are certain times in a man’s life when he must abandon his gruff exterior and allow his feelings to be clear. Every post I make about SimCity will be one of those times. I say this as a forewarning so that, while it is too late for you to avoid THIS particul...[Read More]
Kaine continues to leave his mark in “Scarlet Spider”!
If someone told me that Kaine, the infamous evil Spider-Man clone from the much maligned 90’s epic known as the Clone Saga, would be starring in a hit spinoff comic (let alone one named after the other Spidey clone), I would have thought it was insane. But Kaine is proving his mettle in Marvel’s Scarlet Spider.
Sumioni: Demon Arts – Ink Demons Detailed

Wheels of Destruction – Assassin Class Trailer
With two classes left to reveal, Wheels of Destruction provides us the long-range sniping and speed of the Assassin class.

Review: Shoot Many Robots (XBLA)
Do you hate robots as much as I do (no offense to our eventual robotic overlords, I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for your efficient and logical operations)? Do you love an incredibly diverse and face-humpingly (it’s a word now, deal with it) hilarious variety of weapons and equipment? Do you appreciate well designed shoot’em up mechanics? Do you get a gamegasm for...[Read More]
