I’ve always been a big fan of point and click adventures and have played and reviewed many of them. One of the best ones that I missed out on was Grim Fandango, a detective story with a Day of the Dead setting. But now you can downloaded a remastered version of it on Steam! So here’s my friend Robbie Allen’s take on this version of Grim Fandango! Check it out!
Star Wars Rebels Pinball (360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, Wii U, PC, iOS)

The kids’ cable channel Disney XD has a new computer animated Star Wars cartoon called Star Wars Rebels. I’ve never seen the cartoon myself, as the only thing I watch on Disney XD is Gravity Falls. But I do sure see a lot of commercials for it! And now you can play a pinball table based on the franchise and it’s downloadable on Zen Studios’ Pinball FX2 and Zen Pinball 2’s platforms (reviewed on 360 here).

Oblitus is a downloadable game on Steam. It’s a 2-D platformer game with exploration elements and you use a spear to defeat nearby and long-distance enemies. I had my friend Robbie Allen review it, so click here and find out if he thought it was good or not!

If you love old-school space shooters like Galaga, Galaxian, or Space Invaders, then you may want to check out Galactic Nemesis. It’s styled after those classics and is available for download on iOS devices (reviewed on iPad here).
Galaga: Tekken 20th Anniversary Edition (iPad)

So apparently, it’s the hit fighting game Tekken’s 20th Anniversary. Doesn’t really seem that long, does it? I still remember when I first saw it in arcades, and thought it was just a fancier, prettier Virtua Fighter. Anyway, so how do you suppose Bandai Namco Games is celebrating this momentous event? Are they going to release a new Tekken game, or maybe a collection of old classic ones? Nope, they’re just combining Tekken characters with…Galaga?!? Galaga: Tekken 20th Anniversary Edition is a downloadable game for iOS, Android, and Google Play, and best of all, it’s free! So how exactly does this game work? Oh, you’ll definitely want to read on to find out!
Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron Pinball (360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, Wii U, PC, iOS)

Tony Stark has just created a super powerful robot computer named Ultron, but it goes haywire and turns evil so now it’s up to Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers to stop him! That’s the plot of the new hit summer movie Avengers: Age of Ultron and it’s also the same as Zen Studios new pinball table for its Pinball FX2 and Zen Pinball platforms (reviewed on 360 here).
Krinkle Krusher (PS3, PS4, Vita)

A medieval kingdom is having a festival with a great big cake. But when the greedy Krinkles catch a whiff of the cake, they want it all for themselves. So these little creatures, which look like little walking balls with sharp teeth, come invading the castle looking for goodies. Now it’s up to a wizard and his living, talking glove to protect the kingdom in this cartoony tower defense style game. It’s downloadable for Sony’s current consoles, but reviewed on PS3 here.

Help a little pig pop colored bubbles and free rubber duckies during his bath time with Bubble Bath Blast, a free-to-play puzzle game for iOS (reviewed on iPad here). The game plays similarly to the classic puzzler Puzzle Bobble (or Bust-A-Move, depending on where you live in the world).
Underground (Wii U)

Young girl Sari and her robot friend Swank are trapped in an underground cavern and must find a way out! The robot finds a machine with two mechanical arms, and uses it to help the girl and all of the other trapped robots escape from the catacombs. Underground is an action puzzle game, downloadable on the Wii U eShop.
Narborion Saga: Book 2 – The God of Orcs (iOS)
Posted on May 5th, 2015 by
With tablets serving up books of all sorts, it was only a matter of time before choose-your-own adventures started popping up. The field has now become quite crowded and fans can purchase titles that span the gamut of “pure” classic written fiction up to titles that are half reading and half strategic combat. Narborion Saga falls squarely in the latter camp. A rich backstory with plenty of narrative to go around, paired with a bit of role-play stats and turn-based tactical grid combat encounters.
