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 »
Review: Metro: Last Light
Written by Zach Snell on May 14, 2013 in PC
[Deep Silver, Metro: Last Light. Metro: 2033, PC, TMG]
The good part about this is Metro is just as atmospheric, weird, and compelling as it was previously. The even better part is most of the issues with the first game have been fixed, making an experience that’s polished while retaining the quirkiness of the original.
Review: Square Shooters: The Dice Game!
Written by Andrew Smith on May 13, 2013 in iOS
My wife and I were pretty tired from a long day but we wanted to play something together. I didn’t feel like booting a console up, and despite my love for cerebral tabletop games I just couldn’t muster the brainpower for a rousing game of Puerto Rico. I needed something simple, something short, and something… Read More »
Review: Deadly Premontion: The Director’s Cut
Written by Addam Kearney on May 13, 2013 in PS3
[Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut]
Deadly Premonition may be one of the most divisive games ever made. When it was released on the Xbox 360 in 2010, some critics thought it might have been one of the worst games ever created, with terrible dialogue, bad graphics and horrid controls. There was, however, another group of critics who thought it was… Read More »
Review: SimCity
Written by John Catuira on May 13, 2013 in PC
[EA, Maxis, Review, SimCity, The Married Gamers, TMG]
SimCity is one of those classic, time-sucking franchises that egged me on to play for just another five minutes. Of course, another five minutes easily turned into hours and hours. Knowing this as I write up my SimCity review, I openly admit that there are some fond, rose-colored memories attached to my opinions of this… Read More »
Review: Star Trek
Written by Addam Kearney on May 8, 2013 in Xbox 360
Licensed video games based off of upcoming movies are almost never what most would consider, “good.” Rarely are they anything worth discussing, generally because the games are rushed out in order to coincide with a film’s release. With Star Trek, though, there was at least a glimmer of hope for it. Originally announced at E3… Read More »
