Costume Quest Review

Costume Quest Review

Costume Quest Community Page I’m going to give away the end of this article for you right now: Costume Quest is good. You should buy it and sit down with a mug of cider to celebrate the only holiday where the color orange is ubiquitous. It’s an XBLA, Playstation Network, and PC title, so go get it. I have a weird relationship with October. I love the idea of it because I love the heck out of fall....

SCHAR Blue Shield Alliance – Review

SCHAR Blue Shield Alliance – Review

It can’t be denied that Brain Shape Games' SCHAR Blue Shield Alliance isn’t nostalgic. I remember back in the days of high school when me and my little friends would clamber around Windows 95 PCs and play those old browser based shooters like Asteroids and some cheap looking replica of Galaga.

Recently Robot Entertainment decided to release the game with the Team Fortress 2 cast as a free DLC to the PC version. Is Hero Aca...

Retro /Grade Review

Retro /Grade Review

It was only till last night that I noticed 24 Caret Game’s Retro/Grade sat upon the PSN Store. From first glance the game looked like a rather generic side scrolling shooter, but what came after when actually getting a hands-on with the game is a completely different story. You play as Rick, a head banging intergalactic space fighter who happens to have just saved the universe from ultimate destru...

Sonic 4 Episode 2

Sonic 4 Episode 2 Review

Sonic 4 Episode 2's Community Page The game is set out very similar to the first episode but this time round tails has been added into the mix. Throughout the game you will need Tails to assist you by flying and swimming through tricky parts of the levels. There is also a double spin attack-move which is a required to smash through containers and snow. There is not really a story line. The game st...
