There are plenty of puzzle platformers these days that introduce new mechanics for you to find your way from the start to the end of the level. However, it's not often that you see such games with such refined design that makes you feel as if it's the first game of its kind that you've ever played due to the uniqueness of the gameplay mechanics and the level of quality in its aesthetics. The Swapper is such a game that really digs deep into your senses and your mind. ...
Most of the games churned out by the indie game development scene are pretty good, some of which even inspires awe and wonderment. However, there are some not-so-good ones that sneak past whatever filter there is and get released. Some are really bad, while most are mediocre at best. Chernobyl Commando is one of those titles, unfortunately enough. While it doesn't seem so bad at first glance, you then play it and see the cracks within. ...
Here is yet another Resident Evil game. Before the collective moan and groan, give this game a try before handing it a verdict, unlike what most did with the much-condemned but alright Resident Evil 6. It's a multiplatform re-release of the Resident Evil game for the 3DS from early last year. That's yet another HD remake by Capcom, so this may not get a vote of confidence from gamers right away. But at least it's still about the zombies. ...
I do not know what Denpa specifically means, nor do I really need a specific definition. For me, the term is perfect for the pudgy and quirky little characters found in the title, and the name does them justice, just like a Wookie, or an Oompa Loompa. Don’t think of the Denpa Men as pushovers, however, as they can certainly pack a punch as they battle an army of different monsters in this sequel to Denpa Man: They Came by Wave. ...
Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has thoroughly seeped into our mainstream culture and is no longer just old stories written a long time ago. New tales are being told about the detective and his good doctor friend, including movies with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, as well as a television series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. It's only logical that there be some video games are made with this source material, at least to shove Professor Layton aside as the top sleuth in gaming. ...
There’s a reason why platformers are popular regardless of the platform, pun intended, as to where they are played. Platformers – or side scrollers – are extremely easy to control, and all players have to do is run ...
If you base the quality of video games according to what they make you feel, then there are two types of them. There's the Michael Bay-style video games that appeal to the more basic and easily-amused parts of the brain, then there are some of the more subdued and emotionally-inclined titles that tap into the other bits of grey matter that lean towards empathy, as well as the heart. If there's a game that can be called art, then perhaps Papo & Yo can make a pretty good case. ...
Ninja Warrior, also known in Japan as Sasuke, is a game show much akin to Wipe Out or another Japanese cult classic, Takeshi’s Castle. It employs about a hundred contestants as they go through various challenges that will test their strength, endurance, and agility. The obstacles are so difficult that only a few get to finish, although these few can call themselves real modern warriors, as finishing the courses is no easy feat. ...
The essence of real time strategy is being able to wage war on your PC and try out various strategies and tactics that you may have only come up with in your head and nowhere else. A few titles outside of the big ones were able to give players that experience with units that people can relate to, mainly those based on real life military armaments. Wargame: European Escalation was one of those games, alongside Company of Heroes and so on, and its sequel has come to continue that tradition. ...
