The Tremendous Trials of Tetris Axis (3DS)

Posted on October 8th, 2011 by
Originally I wasn’t going to buy Tetris Axis, the new Tetris game on 3DS. Tetris may be my favorite puzzle game and all, but I don’t see any reason to own every single version of the game. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from buying every Pac-Man game out there, but that’s just the enigma that is me. But anyway, the other day I saw a video on how many different game modes were in Tetris Axis, and they looked like fun, so I caved in and picked it up after all. Besides, I promised my mom that when Animal Crossing comes out on 3DS, I’d buy her one, and this might be a game she would like to play, too. So on this blog, we’re going to take a look at the many game modes and other features of Tetris Axis!

XSEEDing Atlus (and other niche game companies)
Posted on September 30th, 2011 by
In honor of Solatorobo being released this week, I thought I’d write a blog about the publishers of that game, XSEED, and how they surpassed Atlus as my favorite niche game company. Now, I’m not bashing Atlus in any way, they’re still a great company and all. And they’re publishing an upcoming game I’m looking forward to (the next KOF game). But recently, XSEED has been releasing a wider variety of games that interest me more, so I thought I’d feature some of those games in this blog.
Game Review: Supremacy MMA (Xbox 360, PS3)
Posted on September 28th, 2011 by
Supremacy MMA is a one-on-one mixed martial arts fighting game. Even though it’s an arcade style pick up and play kind of game, the fighting styles, moves and even injuries are realistic. Play as one of a handful of real and fictional fighters, each with their own styles from boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and others as you rise the ranks to the top (Xbox 360 version reviewed here).
Kirby’s Massive Mini-Game Attack!
Posted on September 26th, 2011 by
You’ve probably read reviews already about Kirby Mass Attack. So you know that it’s a fantastic game and an original concept where you use the stylus and touch screen to guide a mob of Kirbys through 2-D levels. So I decided to do something a little different in my review and focus on the mini-games you can unlock while playing Kirby Mass Attack, because several of them are more fleshed out than past Kirby mini-games. Plus, I just like mini-games anyway. Slight spoiler warning here, too, I guess.

Game Review: The Gunstringer (Xbox 360 Kinect)
Posted on September 24th, 2011 by
Twisted Pixel is one of my favorite developers of Xbox LIVE downloadable titles. Located in Austin, TX, they’ve made gems like The Maw and Comic Jumper. Now with The Gunstringer, they’ve achieved two firsts. It’s their first Kinect game and their first retail title. In the game, play as a skeleton cowboy as he takes revenge on his posse who turned on him in life. Sounds pretty typical until you realize that the Gunstringer is a marionette puppet and you’re the one controlling his strings!
