Worms: Reloaded Review
Ever since the mid-90s, the Worms franchise has been charming hardcore and casual fans alike. Its competitive style suffused with its off-the-wall, cutesy humor is a combination that resonates well with people, and it’s easy to see why. It’s an extremely accessible series, and that is not something many turn-based games can claim to be. [...]

2 September 2010
When Metroid: Other M was announced two years ago at E3, it sparked quite a bit of controversy by focusing more on story and giving Samus a voice, the first of Nintendo's usually mute heroes.

Of course this leads the fans to scream for the good old days when the 2D world [...]

19 August 2010
In the world of video games, there are games that are excellent, games that are terrible, and games that fill the void in the middle. However, on occasion you’ll find a game that is in that center mass, but does a few things that make you wonder if, given more time to be polished, could [...]

14 August 2010
Most of my childhood memories of video games belong to platformers. Mario and Sonic, two of the most quintessential platforming heroes, sucked up an inordinate amount of my time. Even so, my heart rested with other protagonists. Due to my youth, I was prone to playing and enjoying games that were not particularly good. A [...]
