Review: Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Written by Kelly Brown on June 22, 2013 in Nintendo 3DS
Planting flowers, catching bugs, fishing, catching a train to visit your friends; it is not every day that you can do this and make some money. That is unless you are spending time in your town on Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This is the newest iteration of the Animal Crossing games and it is available… Read More »
Review: Grid 2
Written by Addam Kearney on June 22, 2013 in Xbox 360
Simulation style racing games can be extremely difficult for people to get into. The aspect of making one mistake on a course and ruining an entire run can potentially scare off newcomers, yet there’s still a large number of people who find this extremely fun. Grid 2 attempts to make some small changes to the… Read More »
Review: State of Decay
Written by Addam Kearney on June 14, 2013 in Xbox 360
[Microsoft, State of Decay, Undead Labs]
Video games featuring zombies have become a dime a dozen sort of deal. The market is oversaturated with them. With a few notable exceptions, namely the PC release of Day Z, few have really been able to stick out amongst the crowd. Now, Microsoft ad Undead Labs have gotten in on the market in a… Read More »
Review: The Swapper
Written by Zach Snell on June 12, 2013 in PC
[Facepalm, PAX 10, PC, The Swapper, TMG]
It’s rare that a game can really evoke the feel and presence of a well made movie. Its rarer still that a 2D puzzle platformer manages to pull that off. The Swapper builds a minimalist, grim story with a fantastic aesthetic and gameplay to match. The core of The Swapper is just that, swapping. In… Read More »
Review: Fuse
Written by Addam Kearney on June 8, 2013 in Xbox 360
[EA, Fuse, Insomniac Games]
When Insomniac Games first showed Overstrike (the studio’s first multiplatform game) at E3 2011, the trailer was bright, colorful and showed signs of Insomniac Games doing something somewhat different in a sea of grey shooters. Then, we learned that the graphical style had been overhauled and the name had been changed to Fuse. Suddenly, the bright colorful… Read More »
Review: Swords and Soldiers 3D
Written by Zach Snell on May 31, 2013 in Nintendo 3DS
[3DS, Swords and Soldiers 3D, The Married Gamers, TMG]
E-shop games are kind of a weird partial frontier at the moment. The 3DS is stuck in a weird place where games should cost more (Luigi’s Mansion is well worth the $40 price of entry), but cell phone and iPad games draw immediate comparison. That line becomes even less clear with budget titles on the… Read More »
Review: Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes
Written by Zach Snell on May 29, 2013 in
[Civilization, Dungeons and Dragons, expansion, Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, Stardock, The Married Gamers, TMG]
The depth of the game isn’t going to attract many newcomers, and nothing about the mechanics is going to sell someone on the genre.
Review: Harvest Moon 3D: The Tale of Two Towns
Written by Samantha Olvera on May 21, 2013 in Nintendo 3DS
[Harvest Moon 3D: the Tale of Two Towns, Natsume, Nintendo 3DS, TMG]
Harvest Moon 3D: The Tale of Two Towns is about exactly that; two towns whose mayors seem to hate each and are constantly having a bitter rivalry. You are forced to choose which town you want to farm in right away, either European-style Bluebell, the animal loving town, or Eastern-style Konohana, the town crazy about crops. While it does… Read More »

Review: Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine
Written by Addam Kearney on May 16, 2013 in PC
[Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine]
Heist situations are one of the most criminally underutilized scenarios in video games. Grand Theft Auto IV had a fantastic heist mission and Payday: The Heist made cooperative multiplayer heists a blast. Other than that, though, heists in video games are extremely rare. Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine, winner of the Grand Prize at the… Read More »
