Adventure

3D action platformers seem to be making a comeback these days. For awhile, we were seeing mostly just 2D platformers, but now 3D platformers seem like all the rage. Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure for the 3DS is a 3D action platformer, but its also has rpg and puzzle elements too. The game is out now for the 3DS eshop. We received a review code for the game, however our review isn’t ready yet. We wanted to give you a…

Paper Mario Color Splash has taken a lot of flak from fans who didn’t like the previous entry in the series Sticker Star for the 3DS. Those fans said that the game looked too much like Sticker Star and they were not willing to give the game a chance to prove itself. I wasn’t a big fan of Sticker Star, but from the moment I saw Color Splash, I had the opposite reaction of those fans. I was really excited…

Last year, we reviewed Rise of the Tomb Raider for the Xbox One. This past week, we got to play through the entire game again, this time on the PS4, courtesy of Square Enix. While much of the game plays the same on the PS4 as on the Xbox One – outside a few noticeable graphical enhancements – a few new modes and DLC is being launched alongside this release. While the DLC is available on all systems, we are…

I’m a huge Animal Crossing fan. I own all of the Animal Crossing games (amiibo festival and Happy Home Designer included). The series is, without a doubt, my favorite Nintendo franchise! Awhile back, Nintendo of Europe brought Animal Crossing Wild World to the Wii U Virtual Console. However, there was no sign at all that they were bringing it to North America. Thats changing tomorrow when Nintendo of America brings Animal Crossing Wild World to the Wii U eshop. They…

Circle Entertainment always brings interesting Japanese rpgs and games to the 3DS. One of the games that I really liked that they brought to the system was called Fairune. The game was an action rpg with very detailed 8-bit style graphics. Awhile back, we found out that there would be a sequel to the game called Fairune 2. It was a given that Circle would bring that title to North America too. Now we have a North American release date…

Firewatch, which has been brought to Xbox One via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program, has been an interesting game to play through my first few minutes. The game is focused solely on story telling, and so your adventure inevitably is over almost as soon as it begins; this, however, is by no means a bad thing. Firewatch hooks you early, and hard. If the story does not hook you right away, shut it off and move on. There isn’t a whole…

With Halloween right around the corner, I’ve been looking at some spooky video games this month. One of my favorite spooky series is the Resident Evil franchise. I still remember playing the first Resident Evil and being blown away by it. Resident Evil was one of the reasons I bought a Playstation 1. It was also a reason I bought the Gamecube! Today, I want to talk about that first Resident Evil and also mention my favorite of the Resident…

I love role playing games. I was a huge fan of the Final Fantasy games until they turned into action games. And I really love Dragon Quest 9 from Square Enix too. So when Square finally announced that Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past was coming to the North American 3DS, I was excited. I couldn’t wait to play the game! And now I’ve played the game, I’ve finished it, and I finally have a review for you. Did Dragon Quest VII live up to my expectations after all this time? Read on to find out!

This week we’ve been looking at Paper Mario: Color Splash in the lead up to the game’s launch. Today the game arrives on the Wii U eshop and in retail stores. We provide our plans for our upcoming review coverage below. Paper Mario: Color Splash is out for the Wii U right now. I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about the game on twitter, however I’ve been avoiding reviews because I’ll be writing one of my own starting…

All this week I’ve been looking at just Paper Mario Color Splash, however today I want to look at the other Paper Mario games along with Color Splash. Paper Mario has seen five games in its franchise now (including Color Splash), plus a spinoff crossover with the Mario & Luigi franchise. Nintendo loves their Mario rpgs. Which one of the Paper Mario games is the best so far? Which one is the worst? And where does Paper Mario Color Splash…
