Rumor Mill: Yoshi’s New Island 3DS Bundle
The Internet rumor mill is all abuzz with talk of a Yoshi themed 3DS XL bundle, which is said to be coming out at the same time as Yoshi’s New Island. All of the artwork circulating is bogus, but the idea of a bundle makes sense considering the Mario and Luigi: Dream Team and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between World 3DS XL bundles that coincided with those games’ release dates. Nintendo may be ha...[Read More]

Review: Bravely Default (3DS)
In an expansive temple, a young woman bows her head in prayer before an enormous hovering crystal, which appears to be the only source of light in the room. Within moments, an inky blackness wraps its misty tendrils around the crystal and stains it dark. It is in that same instant that a giant chasm opens up in the earth and swallows a nearby village whole, leaving but one survivor. That is where ...[Read More]
Review: The Banner Saga (Steam via PC, Mac, Linux)
The chill of winter’s bite digs deep into your bones. The snow is thick and covered in blood. The drums of battle sound in a rhythmic pace. Looking from side to side you see your brothers in arms breathing heavily, their breath visible in the cold northern air. Enemies surround you, yet you can tell they are nervous; more so than you. With a battle cry you and your brothers rush in, shield bearers...[Read More]

Review: Senran Kagura Burst (3DS)
When I started thinking about how I would start off my review of Senran Kagura Burst for 3DS, I tried really hard to think of a way to write it without talking about breasts. Unfortunately, trying to tell you about this game without mentioning the bountiful bosoms would be like trying to tell you about what kind of pizza I ate without talking about the toppings. This is a game that likely has more...[Read More]
Review: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (PC)
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was easily one of my favorite games of 2013. I had the pleasure of reviewing it on the Xbox 360 platform, and found myself, for the first time, truly loving a Metal Gear game. A lot of this may have been due to Platinum Games having their hands in on the game’s development, of course. If you’ve been paying any attention, I often praise Platinum Games to a...[Read More]
Review: Shin Megami Tensei IV (3DS)
For a while now I’ve been playing the game Shin Megami Tensei IV, which released on the 3DS. I can honestly say that I wasn’t sure what to expect since I’m new to the series, since the only other Shin Megami Tensei game I played was Soul Hackers. with the amount of time I’ve put into the game already I had a great time with that game, but Shin Megami Tensei IV brought me into a new world to experi...[Read More]
Review: Sanctum 2 (XBLA)
When it comes to games I’m always on the lookout for a one that may or may not kick my ass as I play it. One game I’ve been playing lately has been the game Sanctum 2, which you can find on Xbox Live and Steam. If you have ever wanted a game that was part first person shooter and tower defense, then Sanctum 2 is the game for you!

Review: SpeedX 3D Hyper Edition (3DS)
I love games that challenge my reaction time! I normally download games on my iPhone that are similar to SpeedX 3D and I play them on the go all the time. Now, I can enjoy a fast paced game that allows me to maneuver around a track dodging objects. The game utilizes 3D graphics to make the game unique and more compelling.
