La-Mulana

General Overview Is it worth dying, dying, and dying again for a grand action/adventure of epic proportions? That’s what developer Nigoro set out to found out. A remake of the 2005 cult classic, La-Mulana is everything an oldschool action/adventure title should be down to its very core. It also helps that the music is pretty […]

Steamed! – A.R.E.S. – Extinction Agenda

A.R.E.S. – Extinction Agenda Current selling price: $9.99 A.R.E.S., in my opinion, is best described as Metroid, but feels more like Contra, and has RPG elements. Basically you’re a robot for mankind fighting evil robots against mankind. Yeah, the story gets a little more complicated than that, but really that’s all you need to know. […]

Steamed! – Diamond Dan

Diamond Dan Current selling price: $9.99 These days I’m kinda picky about puzzle games. This is strange too, because when I find a puzzle game I really like, I tend to stick with it. Diamond Dan is best described as an action/platformer/puzzle game that also has a strong point gathering element with lots of risk/reward […]

Could this quirky, awkward, semi-edutainment title actually be something halfway interesting or is it all […]

RPG of the Year – 2009

It’s entirely possible that I missed some games, but I’ll say this…this list took me a good 4 hours to put together, therefore, if I missed anything, just let me know and I’ll fact check it just in case. I’m confident, however, in the top 5 and let me tell you, there are some FANTASTIC […]

Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy

General Overview A frustrating adventure platforming game with an even more frustrating inventory system that will constantly have you pulling your hair out, not only because it’s difficult, but also because it requires constant backtracking and remembering where you set down object X for puzzle Y. And yet, it’s still one of the most charming, […]
