Posted on January 14th, 2011 by
In this game, you’re already dead at the start. As a ghost, you don’t remember who you were or why you died. And your only lead is a lady who gets killed soon after you did. You quickly learn that you have special powers as a ghost. You can possess and manipulate nearby objects, and even rewind time four minutes after someone other than yourself had died. Now it’s up to you to use your ghost powers to save lives and unravel the mystery of your death!
Game Review: Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! (PSP)
Posted on January 11th, 2011 by
I’ve never played a Disgaea game before, as strategy RPGs just aren’t my cup of tea. But thanks to my friends who do enjoy NIS’ signature series, I am pretty familiar with the characters. One of their more popular stars are the hapless Prinnnies. They’re little demons who look like penguins, and in the Disgaea games they act as expendable pawns, ready to explode at a moment’s notice. And they say “Dood” a lot. A while back, Prinnies got their own game: a quirky yet tough as nails 2-D platformer on the PSP. And now they’re ready to follow up with a sequel available on UMD or downloadable on PSN.

The Games of Touchmaster Connect (DS)
Posted on January 9th, 2011 by
Touchmaster started out as a series of touch-based arcade games usually found in bars. They’ve ported over some as collections on the DS, though I’m not sure if ALL of them are from the arcade or if they made some up for the home version. I have them all on the DS, as I do like the casual puzzle fare these titles offer. Touchmaster Connect is the fourth in the series, so as I always do, here’s a rundown of all the games you can play on it!
Game Review: Ghost Mania (WiiWare)
Posted on January 8th, 2011 by
Ghost Mania is a falling block puzzle game downloadable on the Wii. The rules are simple. Colored blocks are arranged at the bottom and top of the well, and you can shift around the ones on the top, like in Tetris Attack or Puzzle League. You can then drop two at a time onto the playfield. Same colored blocks will merge together, so you want to match blocks when you can. When you drop a special colored jewel piece, blocks of that same color adjacent to it will disappear and you’ll get points, similar to Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo.

The Games of Atari’s Greatest Hits vol. 1 (DS)
Posted on January 5th, 2011 by
One of the things I got for Christmas was a wall calendar with a different classic Atari game each month. Fits my personality pretty well, I think, and I hung it up at work. It reminded me that a few months ago, they released an Atari Greatest Hits collection on DS. I didn’t buy it right away because it was 30 bucks, but I saw it recently for around 20, so I snagged it. So here’s a rundown on what’s on Atari’s Greatest Hits vol. 1 for DS!

Game Review: Back to the Future: The Game, Episode 1 (PC)
Posted on December 24th, 2010 by
I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed being an adult in the 80’s, but let me tell you, being a kid back then was GREAT! We had the best toys (Transformers), cartoons (DuckTales), video games (Pac-Man), and music (well, okay, 80’s music was cheesy but I like it anyway). And with films like Indiana Jones, Empire Strikes Back, Gremlins, and Ghostbusters, we also had some awesome movies, too! Now one of the best 80’s movie series is now a video game that’s actually very good! Get prepared to go to 88 miles per hour with Back to the Future: The Game, a downloadable PC episodic point and click adventure title from TellTale Games!
