A marked improvement from the last two Mini-based Mario vs. Donkey Kong games.
Mario and Donkey Kong have been at it for a long time now. They started their feud in a platforming game, Donkey Kong, which gave way to a puzzle-platformer of the same name on the Gameboy years later. After that, the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series was established, featuring the same puzzle-platformer gameplay found in its predecessor. However, when the series made the move to the DS, Mario gave up chasing Donkey Kong himself, and took use of the minis, which in turn changed the gameplay to pure puzzles. Mini-Land Mayhem is the third entry to feature the minis and the pure puzzle gameplay, but strangely this latest version feels more akin to the platformer entries of the past, thanks to some creative level design, on-the-fly puzzle solving, and boss levels that evoke nostalgia for the original arcade game.
It's basically a port of a more than decade old game, with worse controls. Sounds enticing, no?
I’ll be the first to tell you how awesome Quake III Arena was back in the day, and still is even today. Fast-paced, twitch shooting, simple-but-effective weaponry, and small close encounter maps made for some of the best multiplayer shooting ever. However, Quake Arena Arcade, which is extremely similar to said game and a port of the ad-driven browser game Quake Live, is a waste. This is not because it's a bad game, but because the essence of the Quake III Arena experience isn't perfectly captured without the use of a mouse and keyboard.
The recently released multiplatform title will no longer be making its way to the platform it was first announced for.
Yesterday, it was announced by Team Meat that they will be cancelling the WiiWare release of Super Meat Boy. By the end of development of the game, they were already concerned that the title wouldn't be able to be compressed down to the strict 40MB size restriction of the system.
Nintendo is set to publish the latest remake in the Dragon Quest series, Dragn Quest VI: Realms of Revelation, come February 14, 2011.
The title, never released outside of Japan, is coming to America in remake form on the DS courtesy of Nintendo and Square Enix.
Today, Nintendo announced that they plan to publish Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation in America on the DS. The game, originally released on the Super Famicom in 1995 never made it outside Japan.
This little piece of Grand Theft Auto IV machinima is the highlight of my day. Check out the all-star cast of Super Mario Bros. operating in a very different fashion.
This roguelike is still punishingly tough, but it's the absolute best way to try out the genre.
Nippon Ichi Software is known for their unique, markedly Japanese titles that are big on humor and extremely unique in terms of gameplay. Z.H.P.: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman is no exception to this rule, as the game delivers some well-written dialog, and unique roguelike gameplay that slightly alters the basic concepts of the sub-genre. Though the game is a small diversion from standard Mystery Dungeon gameplay, it's likely that most gamers won't connect with the title due to its high difficulty level and unforgiving design.
Poorly executed third-person shooting mixed in with average mech combat produces a disappointing title.
The latest in the Front Mission series has stepped away from its tactics-based roots and entered the realm of third-person shooting and action-based mech combat. While the game is a spin-off, it still holds on to staples of the mainline series, specifically a story based in an apocalyptic future, and the inclusion of Wanzers (personally piloted-mechs) which players will control throughout the game. I can't tell you of the relative quality of the game in comparison to rest of the series, but this iteration is an average attempt at mech combat and third-person shooting.
We all knew it was coming, but last night the third game in the trilogy was revealed. Players can expect the game holiday 2011 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, though no official platforms have been announced.
