Review: Pucca Noodle Rush (iOS)
As a lover of time-management games and all things cute, I knew I had to get my hands on the new iOS Pucca game by Bigben Interactive, Noodle Rush. If you’re unfamiliar with the popular Pucca, she’s a 10-year old girl who is the niece of three noodle shop owners. Since Noodle Rush was the first Pucca game I had ever played, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.
Steam Review: Amnesia: The Dark Descent
When was the last time a game scared you? I mean REALLY scared you, not the cheap "thrills and chills" Resident Evil is turning out these days, but an experience that makes your heart race and your mind begin to panic. Yeah, you know you like it, and there is little to fill that void in your life.
Review: Hard Corps: Uprising (XBLA)
Some people might say that Castlevania is Konami’s greatest creation, while others may say Metal Gear. Some may find Silent Hill to be the crown jewel of Konami, while others may say Dance Dance Revolution. I humbly suggest that they are all wrong (though Castlevania would come close). As a matter of unarguable fact, Konami’s greatest contribution to the world of gaming has been Contra...[Read More]
Review: Magician Lord (PSN)
Oh boy, this is a doozy. In another addition to their Neo Geo Station, SNK releases their classic arcade platformer, Magician Lord. Does it hold up after all this time?
Review: Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 (XBLA)
The Bionic Commando games have a very 80’s feel to them, whether you’re playing the original or the attempts to revitalize the character in recent years; in my opinion, simply using the word “Commando” in a title or in reference to the main character provides the 80’s connection. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this, of course. If played by the right perso...[Read More]
Review: Art of Fighting (PSN)
A fighting game that makes you work for your wins.
Review: The Pantheon Cycle: Shrouded Aspect (iOS)
Shrouded Aspect, the first of what will probably be many games in The Pantheon Cycle by Gilligames, is a turn-based RPG for iOS devices. I happen to be a fan of RPG’s, and I do love a good turn-based game (especially Civilization), so I’m having a hard time as to pin-pointing why I couldn’t get into Shrouded Aspect.
Review: Live Butterflies (iOS)
Augmented reality games are all the rage these days for iOS devices. We’ve seen the Inception app become a big hit, and there is even a fun Star Wars themed app available right now. Sea Lion Games hopes to tap into that fad with their iOS app, Live Butterflies.
Review: Tropical Slots Deluxe (iOS)
Tropical Slots Deluxe, by Battery Acid Games, is a cute little indie game for iOS devices. While the game costs a mere $0.99, I often wished that it had a bit more oomph.
Review: League Bowling (PSN)
In the past week, there have been two reviews of SNK’s Neo Geo games for the PlayStation Network. First, we had Ahmed’s review of Fatal Fury. Overall, he felt Fatal Fury was worth your time and money. Then, we had Phillip’s review of Baseball Stars Professional. According to Phillip, Baseball Stars Professional, which was released in 1990, “hasn’t aged well.” I ...[Read More]

Review: Gamma World (Pen and Paper)
Has there ever been an inkling somewhere deep inside you to be a sentient pile of kittens? What about a giant cockroach that starts fires with its mind? OK, how about a radioactive yeti? I am pleased to present Marooners' Rock's first ever pen and paper role playing game review, Gamma World.
