The amount of exclusive games on the Playstation Vita is staggeringly low, so when a new title is announced, all eyes are on that game to be the Vita’s killer-app. Not only is Soul Sacrifice an original game coming to the Vita, it’s directed by the legendary Keiji Inafune, perhaps best known for co-creating Mega Man. With the involvement of [...]

Nintendo has dubbed 2013 the year of Luigi, and on the evidence of Luigi’s Mansion 2 (Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon in the US), they may just have a point. The easy (and admittedly, lazy) way to sum up this sequel is to say that Luigi’s Mansion 2 is the game that the GameCube original should have been. Back in the [...]

Originally a flash game created by Mike Bithell, then expanded and released onto Mac and PC,  Thomas Was Alone has finally been released on the Playstation Network by Bossa Studios, this time featuring even more levels.  In Thomas Was Alone, you play as the eponymous Thomas and various other colored squares, rectangles, and quadrilaterals; as these shapes, you traverse through [...]

Imagine zipping around the galaxy in your spaceship, going from enemy pirate ship to pirate ship, leaving a graveyard of enemies behind you. You race forward across the map, gracefully dodging enemy crossfire as you move towards their outpost. You begin to damage it; slow going due to its strong shields, but you eventually chip away at its defenses. Then, [...]

From the [...]

Ever wonder, “What if Game Freak made a game other than Pokemon?” Well, wonder no more! Game Freak‘s second game that isn’t Pokemon-related is now about to be released. Entitled HarmoKnight, you play as, well, a knight who likes harmonizing. Oh you think I’m kidding? Nope! HarmoKnight is what I like to describe as Mario meets Rock Band with Pokemon-style [...]

The time has come for another entry in the usually excellent MLB 13: The Show to hit the shelves. After an extensive cover search, the game is out and we are well on our way to enjoying another round of baseball. This years edition includes over 50 enhancements over last years model and though it doesn’t change the model all [...]

  Originally developed by Sucker Punch, the Sly Cooper franchise has been an unsung hero of platforming since its inception. Unfortunately, as InFamous and its sequels gained in popularity, Sly was left by the wayside. However, Sanzaru, who were big fans of the series, stepped up to take the reins, based largely on a demo Sly level they created. They [...]

  Let me begin by saying that FIFA 13 is the first game in the series that I have owned and played with any regularity.  Unlike NCAA and NBA, I’ve never played many soccer games.  The game itself is a franchise that started with FIFA International Soccer on the PC and SNES in 1993.  It is safe to say that [...]

As one of the last PSP games released in the West, the original Corpse Party proved to be a pleasant surprise contained in a gruesome package; despite the 16-bit visuals and anime character designs, the story of a group of students and a teacher spirited away to a haunted school was one of the most disturbing horror stories ever to grace a [...]
