Robot Announces First Original Game, Action-Strategy “Orcs Must Die”
I like a good Tower Defense game; at least, I like it for about half an hour before I get bored sitting there just building structure after structure. If I wanted to do that, I’d have been an engineer. Why can’t I have it both ways, killing waves of baddies with my towers and killing waves of baddies with my BARE HANDS? Having just announced their first original game, the action-strate...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 004 – “I Wanna Take You For a Ride!”
The fourth episode of Marooners’ Talk features our new numbering system where the episode number actually matches the number of episodes! I know, I know, we’re bucking our system, throwing your world on its head, shattering everything you once believed to be true. Frankly, we got tired of explaining that Episode 2 was actually our third episode, etc.
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]
XBLA House Party – Dates and Pricing
I know, I know; there’s never anything interesting going on in March. Madness, isn’t it?

Every Wednesday, starting on February 16th and running through March 16th, a new XBLA game will be released a...[Read More]
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: Quake Arena Arcade (XBLA)
Earlier this month I gushed about my undying love for Quake. Well guess how excited I was when I got to actually play Quake Arena Arcade…ridiculously excited. Quake, whether you care to admit it or not, is an iconic game so it was great to see some old school love on the 360.
Review: A World of Keflings (XBLA)
For months I’ve been hyped for A World of Keflings, and today is the day where everybody can experience bliss for only 800 Microsoft Points. That’s right. This game is pure, enjoyable bliss. I suppose I could end my review right there, but I would be doing the game, and NinjaBee, a great disservice, so tighten those seat-belts kiddos because we’re going on a ride.
Review: A Kingdom for Keflings (XBLA)
A World of Keflings comes out in two days, so I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’m reviewing A Kingdom for Keflings, a game that has been out on XBLA for a little over two years. Well, the answer is rather simple. We don’t have a review for A Kingdom for Keflings on the site (shocking, I know), and it seriously deserves some love.
New Musical Cannon Trailer for A World of Keflings
The countdown has officially begun: A World of Keflingswill be available in 2 days. Did you just hear that? That strange high-pitched squeal? Oh yes, that was me dying from excitement.
Review: X-Men Arcade (XBLA)
I am an experienced time traveler. Unfortunately, triggering my travels through time is beyond my conscious control. I must rely on external factors to throw me into the past. Yesterday, one such external factor threw me back to an arcade in Oklahoma City in the early 1990s. Yesterday, I picked up my Xbox 360 controller and played the Backbone Entertainment’s XBLA release of Konami’s ...[Read More]
