With comic books, cartoons, movies, and lots of video games, the four Heroes in a Half-Shell have been delighting children and fans since, well, since I was a kid! Now they’re back in a new 3-D action brawler downloadable game (360 version reviewed here).
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (Wii U, PS3, 360, PC)
Posted on September 18th, 2013 by
In the 90’s, Capcom and other arcade game makers released a lot of beat ‘em ups. Two of the last ones that Capcom made were pretty ahead of their time and featured characters and settings from the Dungeons and Dragons universe. Now you can download and play both classics (Tower of Doom from 1993 and Shadow Over Mystara from 1996) with Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara for PS3, 360, and PC, but the Wii U version is reviewed here. Forget the pen and paper stuff; this is MY kind of D&D.
KickBeat (PS3, Vita)
Posted on September 17th, 2013 by
KickBeat is a unique mix of a music rhythm title and martial arts fighting (although it’s mostly just a music game). KickBeat was made by Zen Studios, the same folks who brought us all those great Pinball FX and Zen Pinball tables. Will you get a kick out of their latest attempt to branch out to other genres? Read on to find out (PS3 version reviewed here).
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (PS3, 360, PC)
Posted on September 16th, 2013 by
When people think of the classic 16-bit SEGA Genesis game console, what springs to mind first is usually Sonic the Hedgehog. But did you know that the Genesis was out in stores for more than a full year before Sonic was even a thought? During this time, early adopters had fond memories of games like the arcade classic pack-in Altered Beast, or Alex Kidd and the Enchanted Castle. But probably one of the best 2-D platformers during the pre-Sonic Genesis days featured another rodent: Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. A year ago, I was lucky enough to review a direct sequel on the 3DS: Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion. Now SEGA has gone back and remade the original game with improved 3-D visuals, sound, voices, and gameplay, and re-released it as a remake for download on PS3, 360, and PC (PS3 version reviewed here).
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F (PS3)

Vocaloid is a popular voice synthesizer music program. In Japan, they’ve even made cartoon characters to go along with the voices used in the synthesizer. Some of these anime characters have become very well known, especially the blue-haired pig-tailed girl Hatsune Miku. Now she and her friends have their own music game on the PS3 (previously on the Vita).

What happens when you mix Pokemon style monster card battles with match-three puzzle gameplay? You get a match made in heaven. A ‘Monster Match’ made in heaven, so to speak. Monster Match is a downloadable free-to-play game for iOS devices and Android (played on iPad for this review).
Alphaman (iPad)

Help Alphaman run through mazes, avoiding enemies and eating letters in this title that’ll remind you of a certain yellow dot-muncher who is very popular (and my favorite video game character). Alphaman is available for iPhone, iPad, and Android, but played on iPad for this review.
Link the Slug (iPad)

A professor has created some strange little slug creatures, and now he needs your help to clear them away before they infest his house! Link the Slug is an intuitive touch-screen puzzler, now available for most smartphones and tablets (played on iPad for this review).
FlowDoku (iPad)
Posted on September 8th, 2013 by
FlowDoku is basically Sudoku without the numbers. It’s available for Android and iOS devices (played on iPad here). In Sudoku, you must fill rows, columns, and squares with numbers from 1 to 9, but each number can only appear once in each row, column, and square. In FlowDoku, you can only have certain shape patterns in each row, column, and square. Like three blue squares, two orange triangles, and one yellow circle for instance. And the same shapes have to be next to each other, too. You can see how the pattern works at the bottom of the screen.
