The OUYA is out now, and many people are left going “What the hell is an OUYA?” If you’re asking yourself that question, then I refer you to my earlier OUYA review, because I’m lazy and don’t want to repeat myself. The overall impression I left with my review, was that in order to get…
I’ve said time and time again that Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favorite modern games of all time. It follows everything Super Mario 64 set the bar for (in terms of what we expect from platformers) back in the 90s and expands it even more with the use of motion control! Galaxy was…

After weeks of waiting, my OUYA has finally arrived in the mail! I’ve spent the last two weeks playing with my newest gadget, mastering the ins and outs of the little silver rubiks cube. The OUYA has come out to some lukewarm reviews in general from the press. A sad start for what was one…

I’m just going to go ahead and say this from the outset – DARK is not a good game. It’s so bad, in fact, that I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it. I tried. I really did. I just couldn’t do it. Is that unprofessional of me? Maybe, but honestly, at this point, I…
Let me begin by explaining that I love RPGs. Seriously! I’ve played through so many and I personally love that it’s a genre that seems to keep pressing onward in the midst of what I like to call “the FPS era.” RPGs have this awesome tendency to completely immerse in the world you’re playing in,…

Cube World Recipe: 1/3 chalice Dungeons and Dragons 4 blocks Minecraft 1 slash Secret of Mana Mix well and strain through indie game development studio Picroma. If you haven’t heard of Cube World yet, then you’re already missing out. If you ask me, Picroma nailed it when putting together the ideas…
Oh, Rare Inc. It’s been so very long! You remember Rare, right? They were visionaries behind such masterful games such as Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark and the Banjo Kazooie franchise (at least the N64 ones; I like to pretend Nuts and Bolts didn’t happen). What’s that other game they made? You…
