Review: Rochard
Not at all what I was expecting. When you hear the title Rochard you think of something discreet, something possibly French, something with gravity based platforming and shooting (okay, I knew that before I went in). You expect an experimental,

Sequels that should have been: Doki Doki Panic
Somewhere, if we ascribe to the comic book based theory of alternate worlds, in another earth we are playing Doki Doki Galaxy instead of Mario Galaxy. In America, we would have localized it to Heartbeat Galaxy, and we would be

Review: Dungeon Defenders
Fate, cruel and twisted, conspired to prevent me from reviewing this game. I think it all started when I bought the game a scant twelve hours before we would get an official review copy like some sort of real video

A Portable Hole in the heart
I miss when fantasy could be just that: fantasy. I miss optimistic worlds, where things might get rough but the player characters could pull through in the end. I miss the sense of wonder at what’s different, and the appreciation

Who the hell is this: why we can't stop loving Mario
Looking back at the mascots of the early 90’s is a funny thing. No one could have guessed that now, twenty years later, Sonic would be puttering around in the dark releasing vaguely hopeful attempts to restore its franchise to

Mortal Kombat (2011) – Review
As the most violent Mortal Kombat game to date arrived (hey, the competition is tough nowadays), we’ve asked ourselves if the violence really was the key to the franchise’s popularity and survival. It wasn’t. MORTAL KOMBAT (2011) is a videogame

Review: To the Moon
Few games try to be touching. Those that do regularly fail, because the player is rarely interested in being touched. He or she wants to blow things up or make characters look stupid, because that’s a lot more fun. To
