Long term though this becomes a non-issue, and in every other way Sound Shapes is, to me, the perfect platformer. Simple, elegant and literally filled with creativity, Sound Shapes is the perfect game for on-the-go entertainment.
But that’s just me. I like retro RPGs still, and plenty of other gamers our there are going to love this game. Just go in prepared for something that could become very frustrating.
That’s not to say there isn’t something special here already. Buried deep within the game lies a sense of adventure and exploration that is every bit as visionary as inspired as the original Legend of Zelda. Despite the story being fairly childish and generally making little to no sense, the...
I love these games. I had never played a Metal Gear game until earlier this year playing them now makes me want to go and play every game in the series. Both Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater deserved to be played, for both the story and the gameplay, but...
In the end, Air Conflicts reminds is that it is a budget game. It’s a forgivable, entertaining one, and it’s easy to recommend to anyone who enjoys the genre, but for the less familiar with the genre: this is not AAA-grade, and there are better introductions out there for you.

It’s an essential game to play in some form. While there’s nothing here that will lure PC gamers over, the Xbox port of Minecraft wasn’t for them. It gives a new group of gamers a chance to experience the game though, so it’s a great addition to the Xbox download...
As an attempt to take the simplicity of Angry Birds, and infuse just enough “game” into it to attract console owners, The Splatters is an admirable effort. The pacing is off, yes, but at the same time people are more patient when playing console games than on the iPad or...
There’s enough meat to the game (it tracks ELO ratings for the chess hardcore) to keep you coming back for more, but really what VooFoo studios have done really well here is craft a relaxing and entertaining little chess game for everyone, not just the hardcore. It checks all the...
