Catherine Review

Catherine is unlike any other game out there. Simply put, this game is a player choice driven adventure game that offers a very different setting and premise unlike any other game out there. Catherine took me by surprise, and has won my heart over as one of the sleeper hits of this year. If you're one that thinks video games just aren't original, creative, or capable of telling a very engrossing and thought provoking narrative, Catherine may change that. 

Just play it cool

Dead or Alive: Dimensions Review

Dead or Alive Dimensions (DOA: D)  marks Tecmo's latest entry of their fighting game series in over six years since Dead of Alive 4, and it brings with it a wealth of content for fighting game fans and fans of the series alike. Don't let the small size fool you, DOA: D brings with it a bunch of great features that shows off the 3DS's wireless capabilities and a new chronicle mode that helps beginners ease into the game's simple yet complex fighting system. If you're new to the series or a veteran, and love fighting games, you should read on to see why this game has become one of my personal favorite 3DS titles.

Nintendo 3DS Is Nintendo's Sweetest Little Device

The Nintendo 3DS recently has been out for some time now. It also happens to be obtaining it's first ever price drop to $169.99 come August 12th. Having owned the system, even though I was aware of the price drop happening soon, but I'm glad I got to own this system now and play with it, and if you're deciding whether or not you should buy one, I advise you to read on what I'm about to say.

The 3DS is Nintendo's next generation handheld system. Despite being touted as a glasses free 3D system, the system also offers up much more than just being able to view 3D games, pictures, and movies, it offers up some very promising features with some fun applications that could potentially make it become one of Nintendo's best handheld systems yet.

 The Third Dimension

The 3DS boasts an amazing improvement over it's predecessor in terms of power, processing speed, and the ability to display 3D images without the need for 3D glasses. It's something you really need to hold to see for yourself. Some people may have issues with 3D, and it isn't for everyone, but for me I've been playing my 3DS with the 3D slider up more times than I have with it down. Normally I play at home, and when I'm on the road, I use 3D conservatively to not run the battery down. (The 3DS gets anywhere between 3 - 6 1/2 hours from my playtime with the system.) Personally this is reasonable for me, but I can see this being an issue with other people or long road trips.

Portal 2 Review

While the original game was great in a compilation, it eventually was released later on Steam for a bargain price, yet no matter how you look at it, Portal 2 being released as a standalone title means it has some serious expectations to meet.

Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy Review

Dissidia Duodecime Final Fantasy (DDFF) brings us more fighting and over-the-top action we come to expect from the Final Fantasy series and one of the best fighting games for the PSP.
