Braid
By James Shields on August 12, 2008 in xbox live arcade

I’m reminded of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’s ending, the Prince embraces the Princess after an incredible journey she can’t remember, and kisses her deeply. She’s revolted, having not retained the memories of the adventure they had shared, and she rejects him. Quickly, the Prince reverses time, hiding his mistake neatly, and continues [...]

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One
By Aaron Bayley on May 22, 2008 in PC, xbox live arcade

This game is funny. That needs to be the start of any honest review of a game that is such, as so few games can manage even the most basic of comedic requirements.

Assault Heroes 2
By Jim Canapa on May 20, 2008 in xbox live arcade

It is very difficult to be truly objective about anything, especially if there is any amount of anticipation involved. It doesn’t matter if a person is a professional reviewer, writes a few on the side, or is just some Joe buying Madden for the tenth time; if someone is looking forward to something, odds are [...]

It’s simple but addictive gameplay, and nine years after the first Mr. Driller, it’s [...]

By Jay Aphale on March 19, 2008 in xbox live arcade

Now I don’t consider myself an amazing video game player: I always needed to stock up on elixirs in Ninja Gaiden, I achieve an immense amount of deaths when I play Halo 3 multiplayer, hell; I had an incredibly hard time when I went back to play some of the old 2D Sonic games. But [...]

N+
By Aaron Bayley on March 1, 2008 in xbox live arcade

If you are reading this, odds are you played N on your PC back when it was a flash game. A sublime experience that has become a rite of passage to the world of gaming; exceptional in design, perfect in delivery. Then what’s the point in N+, I can hear you ask. I wondered the [...]

Omega Five
By Jay Aphale on January 22, 2008 in xbox live arcade

Shoot ‘em ups (or shmups, the more intimate term) are very rare in this day and age of the console-dominated game industry. It was almost inevitable with the decline of arcades and the rise of shooters in the more first person sense. And so, with this generation in full swing, it seems as though shmups [...]
