Last year, NIS America released Cladun, a downloadable dungeon crawler on PSP with classic game visuals and tendencies (Cladun actually means ‘Classic Dungeon). Now they’ve followed it up with Cladun x2, and while it’s just more of the same, you get more dungeons, more monsters, more treasures, and just more Cladun gameplay overall.
Game Review: Crazy Machines Elements (Xbox LIVE)
Posted on September 2nd, 2011 by
In Crazy Machines Elements, a downloadable game for Xbox LIVE, you’re tasked with building Rube Goldberg-styled devices to perform a task. You’re given a set number of materials, anything from blocks, ropes, fuses, gears, trolleys, kettles, and other crazy tools. Then you must place them strategically and put the contraption in motion to achieve a goal. If this sounds anything like the classic PC game The Incredible Machine, that’s because it is. Except Crazy Machines Elements has physics-based 3-D graphics, more puzzles and materials, and console-friendly controls.

Reader Review: Wizardry DLC: Shadow of the Red Sister (PS3)
Posted on August 11th, 2011 by
Recently I got a chance to review Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls, a downloadable title for PS3. I knew going into the review that it was based on an old PC RPG, but I didn’t think much of it. I even wondered why XSEED would even release it in the US. But now I know why. An amazing thing happened after I posted the review: I got a TON of comments from Wizardry enthusiasts! When I got an opportunity to review some downloadable content for Wizardry on the PS3, I knew I wasn’t fit to review it. So I decided to have a Wizardry fan and online friend Tami B. take a stab at it. So here is her review of Wizardry’s DLC, Shadow of the Red Sister.
Import Game Review: Taiko no Tatsujin Portable DX (PSP)
Posted on August 6th, 2011 by
Recently I imported another game from Japan. It’s Taiko no Tatsujin Portable DX for PSP. In Japan there’s a popular series of music games where you hit a Taiko drum to the beat of the songs. A Taiko drum looks like a big barrel sitting on its side, and you’ve probably seen a Taiko drum in many movies and games from Japan, even if you didn’t know it! I really enjoy the Taiko drum video games, so here’s an extended review and blog about Namco’s latest!

It’s been a while since I let my inner classic Namco fanboy loose, so here is an extended review and blog about Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions, which was released on 3DS last week. We’ll take a look at each game in the package. Plus, this isn’t the first time that Pac-Man and Galaga have been mixed together, so as a bonus, we’ll look at other games where the two have met.
