Review: Cho Aniki Zero

choaniki_thumb

Cho Aniki Zero, literally translated as Super Big Brother Zero, is the second game from the series to see release in North America and one can only imagine why the game has not garnered more attention with Western audiences. The Cho Aniki series is part of a genre of games in Japan known as kuso-ge [...]

Guinness World Records hosted a poll on their website for the better part of 2009 that tasked readers with voting for their favorite video game franchises of all time. After over 13,000 votes, Guinness tallied the results up and today announced their findings. We can’t help but wonder why a small reader poll (realistically, 13k [...]

When it comes to board games, most gamers will agree that Germans do it best. Just look at the success that award-winning German board games like Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, and Settlers of Catan have had with American audiences, especially since their releases on Xbox Live Arcade. So when we got wind that another award-winning [...]

Telltale Games is best known for their adventure games, especially the Sam & Max series. Point-and-click adventure games have always seemed to be a perfect fit for touch screen devices, but Telltale has yet to develop an iPhone game, until now. Telltale announced last week Puzzle Agent, a puzzle-esque adventure game similar to Professor Layton for [...]

Two websites have been stirring things up in the world of iPhone/iTouch/iPad games lately — Openfeint’s Free Game of the Day, and the independent Free App a Day. As the names so obviously suggest, each website highlights a specific app or game for Apple devices each day and sort of “sponsors” it to be free for 24 [...]

Bits & Bytes: The Impossible Game

impossiblegame_thumb

Bits & Bytes is a series of short reviews for short games. As if often the case with iPhone games, PSP Minis and XBL Indies, there’s really not much going on here. That doesn’t make it a bad game (in fact, some of these games are quite incredible), it just means there’s not much for [...]

Review: Fruit Ninja (iPhone)

fruitninja

One of my favorite things about games is their ability to make me forget the world around me while I’m having fun. If a game can make me laugh or shout weird things that no one else understands, I’m sold. Fruit Ninja is one of those games for me. “Ooooh, not the bombs… not the [...]

Review: Tilt to Live (iPhone)

I seriously dislike motion control games.  With a few exceptions (Wario Ware Twisted, I’m looking at you), motion controls are usually unresponsive, cumbersome and just not fun.  For that reason I avoid almost all tilt/motion games on any platform, including the iPhone. That was, until I played Tilt to Live. Tilt to Live by OneManLeft [...]

Blood N’ Guns is an overhead, third person zombie shooter from Instabuy Games. The game is fairly gory with plenty of blood splashes as you control your character with dual on-screen analog sticks. This game includes 6 different nonlinear game modes: Beginner, Survival, Rush, Shotgun N TNT, HellFire, and Death Wave — with each mode [...]
