Reader Review: Deadpool (PS3, 360, PC)

DEADPOOL_BOXOne of Marvel Comic’s most wisecracking, insanely silly (literally) anti-heroes now has his own game! Play as The Merc With a Mouth, Deadpool, in this third-person action brawler shooter game for PS3, 360, and PC (PS3 version reviewed here). Shoot and slash your way through all manner of bad guys, interact with other popular Marvel characters, and enjoy the off the wall raucous humor that Deadpool fans will love! Speaking of fans, my brother Jeff’s favorite Marvel character IS Deadpool, so I decided to let him take a stab at reviewing this one.

Wario’s Games in Game & Wario (Wii U)

WARIO_BOXRecently I got Game & Wario for Wii U. It’s in the WarioWare series of titles, but they probably didn’t use the name because the games are a bit different this time around. More like longer mini-games instead of the two second microgames of the past. They spoof Game & Watch with the title, and the start screen for each game feature cheesy ‘box art’ for every mini-game. So as I always like to do with these kinds of things, here’s a rundown of the mini-games you can play in Game & Wario.

Doritos Crash Course 2 (360)

CRASH_BOXA few years ago, Doritos and Microsoft teamed up to release a free game on Xbox LIVE called Doritos Crash Course. It was a 2-D platforming obstacle course game where you played as your Xbox Avatar, and it was similar to games like WipeOut (based on the popular game show). Now they’ve released a sequel, but is it truly free-to-play like the first one? Read on to find out!

Sheep Up! (iPad)

SHEEP_BOXThis free-to-play game for iOS devices (iPad version reviewed here) doesn’t pull the wool over your eyes! It’s actually really fun. A mischievous little dog has knocked a toy sheep into a stack of cardboard boxes, and now you must help guide the bouncing sheep out of the correlated abyss. The game kind of reminds me of a classic Game Boy Color title called Kirby’s Tilt n Tumble. Or if you want to go even really old school, those tilting maze marble games. Except in Sheep Up!, your toy sheep is always bouncing, not rolling!

SCURVY_BOXYarr, me hearties, and all that other pirate-y talk! Get ready to set sail with Scurvy Scallywags, a match three puzzle game for iOS devices (iPad version reviewed here).

Reader Review: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (360, PS3, PC)

BLOODDRAGON_BOXGet 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_BOXQuell: 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:
