This is a free-to-play game for iOS and Android devices (iPad version reviewed here). It’s a card battle game with a futuristic war theme. Select soldier cards, equip them with armor cards and other attribute cards to beef up their stats, and pick a few boost cards to help your team for good measure. Then view how your strategy plays out in 3-D action sci-fi war scenes.
Tunnel Town (iPad)
Posted on August 12th, 2013 by
Burrowing your way onto iOS devices (reviewed on iPad here), comes Tunnel Town, a spinoff of the popular National Geographic Animal Jam franchise. Colorful bunnies from the Animal Jam world have been whisked away to a strange new place, and you must help them build and dig a fantastic new home! This game is similar to other simulation titles such as Farmville, Viva Piñata, or Animal Crossing (with a little bit of Dig Dug thrown in for good measure).

Posted on August 10th, 2013 by
About a month ago, Nintendo brought out a massive update to the 3DS StreetPass Mii Plaza program, and added four games in addition to Puzzle Swap and Find Mii I & II. I’ve been able to try these games with some StreetPass tags I’ve gotten over the past month at meetups and whatnot, so now I’m ready to properly talk about these titles. So here are some quick, fun little reviews of each game!

Wow! Two fishing games right in a row. In Ultimate Bass Fishing 3D, you create your own fisher and venture out to a mysterious lake to try and catch a legendary bass that lives there! This game is now available for download on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. But how does it stack up against the previous fishing game I reviewed? Read on to find out.

Cloudberry Kingdom (PS3, Wii U, 360, PC)
Posted on August 6th, 2013 by
This game is famous for being a successful kickstarter funded program and was picked up by large publisher Ubisoft. It’s a straight-up, no-nonsense 2-D platformer downloadable for the three major home game consoles and PC (PS3 version reviewed here). But the twist is that the short levels are randomly generated, and adjust the difficulty based on your skill level.
Do Not Fall (PS3)
Posted on August 5th, 2013 by
When you put money into a drink vending machine, have you ever wondered what happens inside between the time you put your money in and the drink comes out? Well, in Do Not Fall, a downloadable game for PS3, they try to explain that. Play as a dog…bunny…thing, well I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t matter as you can unlock other characters later. Anyway, in this top-down viewed platforming challenge, you must make it to the end of the level while avoiding obstacles, baddies, and crumbling floors. Just like the title says, you must do everything you can to “Do Not Fall.”
Layton Brothers: Mystery Room (iPad)
Posted on August 3rd, 2013 by
The Professor Layton games on DS and 3DS have captivated and puzzled fans for many years with mind bending brain teasers and likeable animated characters. Now Layton’s son is getting a chance to puzzle gamers in a new way. In Mystery Room, play as newbie detective Lucy Baker as she is assigned to be Investigator Layton’s new assistant. The two of you will investigate crime scenes and solve murder whodunit cases in this game downloadable for iOS devices (iPad) version reviewed here). It actually kind of reminds me of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney games.
Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale (3DS)
Posted on August 2nd, 2013 by
In the 1960’s and 1970’s, giant monster ‘Kaiju’ movies and TV shows were all the rage, not just in Japan, but all over the world. Guys in rubber Godzilla suits would tromp around city models while giant metallic Ultraman heroes would defend the people. But what if you lived in a town where the giant monsters and heroes seemed REAL? Well, in Attack of the Friday Mosnters! A Tokyo Tale, a downloadable title on 3DS, you play as Sohta, a Japanese 4th grader who just moved to a suburb outside of Tokyo in the early 70’s. In this little burb, you’ll meet new people, make friends, run errands, play monster card games and other childish shenanigans, and maybe even see a giant monster yourself!
Famicom 30th Anniversary 30 Cent Games
Posted on July 27th, 2013 by
This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Famicom, the Japanese equivalent of the NES in the US. To celebrate, Nintendo has offered one Virtual Console Wii U game each month for only 30 cents! They’ve done this for a few months now, and the last 30 cent game was just released. I’ve bought them all, as it was such a great deal. So in this blog, I thought I’d take a quick run through of the games in this promotion. Now, keep in mind that most of these games you can’t get for 30 cents anymore, as each game sale only lasts for a month. But I’m going to take a look at each one anyway!
