Fat Princess was a silent hit on the PS3.  It took a "cutesy" art-style and it added some blood and it became a slightly mature multiplayer title. Fat Princess was a PSN title priced at $15.00. I was pretty excited for Fat Princess as it had a really cool multiplayer aspect that we've never seen before. The main mode is to capture the princess, this is a lot like capture the flag but there is a t... more.

With the mixed success of Soul Calibur on the PS3 and the Xbox 360, and the pedigree of good fighting games on the PSP, such as Darkstalkers, Mortal Kombat and Tekken, an iteration of Soul Calibur for the PSP seemed like a slam dunk.  Add in the ability to use Kratos as a playable character right out of the box, and this is a day one purchase to breathe life back into the PSP right?  Apparently ... more.

A horrid disease strikes the land known as the Blorbs. You have never heard of the Blorbs you say well, beware because its not all fun and games. The land searches for a hero. Who knew the hero would be a pair of brothers. Story Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story has an absolutely amazing and certainly unique plot. This kind of story could only make sense in the  the world of the Bros... more.

PixelJunk Monsters, in case you didn't know, is a tower defense game that was originally released on the Playstation Network back in January of '08. An expansion pack titled "PJM Encore" was then released in May of '08. PJM took advantage of the remote play function of the PS3 and PSP but it looked blurry and wasn't even comparable to the crisp look of playing it on the PS3. The way I looked at it... more.

There was a time when I had one top game of all time. You would ask me what was the best game I ever played, and I would point to one cartridge on the SNES that ate up more of my time than any other. This game more than any made me an RPG fan, and I always felt it was the crown jewel of Square Enix (just Square at the time), and not the Final Fantasy games. That game is Chrono Trigger. Now, ... more.

Some games are just addicting in a way that really defies explanation. Tetris was that type of game. All we actually did in this game was complete lines, and yet we played it for hours on end. If you think about it, there are probably several different games you could list in this category. Just think of those games you go back to time and time again and yet really cannot explain just what draws y... more.

Okay, if you have played Castlevania games before, you know they follow a certain formula: Dracula is trying to once again take control of the world, and it is your job as a legendary vampire killer, often a member of the Belmont family, to stop him. This formula has been repeated over and over again with some variations. Of course most gamers are familiar with Symphony of the Night, which changed... more.

I first heard about Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords on either 1Up Yours or EGM Live. They talked about it on both shows, and I could not quite wrap my head around the idea: a puzzle game crossed with an RPG. Sounded like an odd combination to me, but the more I started to hear about it, the more I was intrigued. I finally broke down and purchased the DS version of the game. Several hours ... more.

I'm about to admit something here that may surprise many of you, especially with my penchant for enjoying Role Playing games: I am not a big Square Enix fan. Sure, they made one of my favorite games of all time with Chrono Trigger, but I personally think the company has had a tendancy to make the same game over and again with the Final Fantasy series. I will even run the risk of upsetting sever... more.

There have been many reviews that we have intended to get up on the website. I personally have been needing to get several up, including the long overdue review of Street Fighter IV. It just seems like so many things come up. and the next thing we know, it's so late that getting the reviews up just seems...cheapened somehow. So I started thinking about a way to make it all work. To get the vari... more.

I am a huge Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords fan. I have owned the DS version multiple times, and I even bought it on XBLA. This should really come as no surprise as I have mentioned my love of this game on the site before, but I feel like it needs to be repeated in light of this review. After all, I was looking forward to Puzzle Quest: Galactrix so much I listed it in our article Day O... more.

If the video game industry has taught us anything over the past few years it's that gaming is no longer just for kids. While, this has always been obvious to gamers it seems as if accessory manufacturers have had a difficult time embracing this reality. Case in point: walk into any video game retailer and try to find a case for a DS Lite or PSP without it having a goofy picture of a video game cha... more.

A few weeks ago I decided to download Steam. I had heard a lot of good things about it and wanted to finally give it a try. But this post isn't about Steam (we'll save that for a later post), it's about Peggle, a game that I downloaded very quickly and conveniently through Steam. I had heard about Peggle from the guys on 1UP Yours and they said that it was pretty addictive. Other than that I hadn'... more.
