Get ready for a totally tubular, radical blast from the past with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. It’s an expansion for Far Cry 3, but you don’t need the original game to play it. Just take every staple from any cheesy 80’s action movie, mix in a large dose of humor, and you get Blood Dragon. Since it seemed like something more up my brother Jeff’s alley, I had him guest review it (360 version reviewed here).
Quell: Memento (iPad)

Quell: Memento is a puzzle game for iOS devices (iPad version reviewed here). Have you ever played a Zelda game where one of the dungeon puzzles had you push ice blocks around, except they were slippery so the only way to stop them was to make sure something was in their path? That’s what this one reminds me of. But Quell: Memento is a very well-crafted puzzler with more than a hundred levels of clever game design. Read on to find out why:

Hey folks. Just wanted to let you know that today I moved to a new town. But don’t worry. I’ve done this three times before. Before I tell you about my first day in my new town, I thought I’d reminisce about the three towns I’ve lived in before.

Combo Crew is a 2-D beat ‘em up where it’s you against hordes of brawlers. The game is for iOS and Android devices (iPad version reviewed here), and you use finger swipes on the touch screen to kick, punch, perform combos, and dodge attacks. Can you reach the top of the tower to battle the boss?

1985 must’ve been a banner year for Capcom, because many of their iconic staples were first introduced that year.

We have three vertically scrolling shooters: Savage Bees, military themed Commando, and the Western cowboy themed Gun.Smoke.

I am MT: Card Battle (iPad)
Posted on May 24th, 2013 by
One of the things I like about reviewing games is the opportunities it gives me to learn new things. Case in point: I am MT. At first glance I thought it was just something a car would say when it needs gas. But actually, I am MT is a popular cartoon in Asia that spoofs the hugely successful World of Warcraft franchise. And it’s gaining notoriety in the US, too! Now you can play a card battle game based on the cartoon with I am MT: Card Battle for iOS devices (iPad version reviewed here).
