I have mixed feelings about free-to-play (or free-to-start) games. On the surface, the idea is interesting: free to download games that you can play and if you like, you can buy more levels or items for the games.

Read MoreAttack of the “Retro” RPG: A Preview of Dragon Sinker for 3DS
Back in the NES days, I wasn’t an rpg fan. It wasn’t till years later with Final Fantasy 7 that became an rpg fan. And after I really got into rpgs, I went back and was able to appreciate and like the older rpgs. So whenever an indie developer, say KEMCO for instance, puts together a game in the “retro” rpg style I’m excited. Dragon Sinker for the 3DS (Developed by KEMCO) came out last week. It is a new…

Circle Entertainment brings some of the best Japanese rpgs to the 3DS eshop. I’m a huge fan of the publisher and I’m always to excited to see what game they’ll bring to the eshop next. Recently, I won a contest of twitter that Circle held. I received a collection of digital games from the publisher that I had never played before.
