Mega Man 10 (WiiWare) Review

For anyone over the age of, say, 12 or so, Mega Man 9 and its recently released sequel have provided a rather refreshing antidote to the increasingly confusing world of Battle Network and Star Force games. Especially in the case of those who grew ...

Alice In Wonderland (DS) Review

I’m fairly certain that I’ve said this before, but it’s very rare to find a game based on a movie that’s quite enjoyable to play and rather well put together, both in terms of presentation and gameplay mechanics. Usually, it...

A Boy and His Blob (Wii) Review

It’s heartening to see a developer aim for mastery of 2D gaming when we’re surrounded by amazing 3D graphics every day. It’s been over twenty years since A Boy and his Blob showed up on the original Nintendo. A lot has changed. The o...

Super Star Wars (SNES) Review

As I write this I can't help but be overwhelmed with awe. For one thing I am a fan of retro gaming, for another I am a proud enthusiast of the George Lucas classic. In 1992 Super Star Wars was unleashed upon the world. Echoes of the hit trilogy ...
