Bust-A-Move 4 (PS3)

BUST_BOXAside from Tetris and Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, one of my all-time favorite puzzle game series is Bust-A-Move.  Heck, even my mom loves these games.  It’s also known as Puzzle Bobble, and I prefer that name since the game is based on the arcade classic Bubble Bobble, so it makes more sense.  But anyway, now you can download one of the classic PlayStation entries in the series published by Natsume, downloadable on PSN (reviewed on PS3 here).

Reader Review: Half Minute Hero: The Second Coming (PC)

HALF_BOXI LOVED the original Half-Minute Hero.  It was one of my favorite games on the PSP.  Check out my review here.  Now the sequel is out, and I’m a little sad because it’s for PC and I don’t have a Steam account (nor do I have time for one).  But that won’t stop me from letting my friend Leroy review it!  So what kind of game is Half-Minute Hero?  Well, it’s an RPG you have to beat in 30 seconds!  Wait, how does THAT work?  Read on to find out!

The Witch and the Hundred Knight (PS3)

WITCH_BOXOnce upon a time in a fantasy land, there lived an evil, spiteful swamp witch.  She wanted to take over the world, but she couldn’t leave her swamp home, or else she would lose her magical powers.  So one day she summoned a magical creature called the Hundred Knight, who could leave her swamp and fight for her.  Unfortunately for her, the Hundred Knight ended up being a cute little critter and not very fearsome.  But with a little bit of her magic, the Hundred Knight could at least fight.  In The Witch and the Hundred Knight for PS3, YOU get to play as the Hundred Knight and do the evil witch’s bidding.  Will you extend her swamp to the four corners of the earth?  Find out in this action RPG from NIS.

Reader Review: Adventure Time: Finn and Jake’s Epic Quest (PC)

ADVENTURE_BOXAdventure Time is one of Cartoon Network’s most popular shows, and now there is yet another game featuring the adventures of Finn and Jake. Their computer friend BMO has been kidnapped (oh no, not BMO, he’s my favorite character), and now the boy and magical dog duo have to go rescue him in this beat ‘em up adventure on Steam. One of my younger brothers, Nathan Woodham, is a big Adventure Time fan so I had him review this game, so check it out!

Lethal Lance (iPad)

LANCE_BOXWith his tough sounding name, scruffy beard and clothes, and gun-toting ways, Lance is about as lethal as a marshmallowy little man with stubby legs can be. Which isn’t much. For reasons we do now know, Lethal Lance is tasked with shooting critters, collecting coins, and hopping over obstacles in this 2-D run-and-gun platformer for iOS devices (reviewed on iPad here).

Free Dum (iPad)

DUM_BOXA ladybug (unfortunately) named Dum has been bugnapped by Max, a mean little kid whose room is a torture chamber for insects. Kind of like Sid’s room from Toy Story, except with bugs, not playthings. Now Dum must escape mazes filled with traps and tricks in this action game for iOS and Android (reviewed on iPad here).
