Did you enjoy playing Arkanoid of one of it's many clones ? Do you like electronic music ? Will spending 8$ on a game prevent you from eating tomorrow ? those are the only questions you should ask yourself before purchasing this great downloadable game that take a new spin on the arkanoid formula. The closest comparison is what Geometry Wars did with the classic "twin stick shooter" games. Unfortunately there is no…
This is going to be a really short review... (this review contains no spoilers) If you like Jigsaw Puzzles , this game is pretty much the same except you use a controller, you can zoom over pieces or the image you are recreating (like in real life) and can get help by another player (at home with a second controller or with online players). When you are doing a really tough puzzle and have 3 other players moving…
I could say that this game's graphics look a little outdated or that the game is too simplistic and I can see that I just said that. But this is not what counts when looking at this game. This game was created to please young Spider-Man fans and I have to say mission accomplished. The gameplay is on the simple side but in a good way. No need to worry about how to orient the camera, the game does it for you and quite…
I was a big fan of the first release of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved on XBLM but after a while the game could become repetitive. Well forget about that for a second, this new version of Geo Wars is all about variety. Without going outside of the concepts that define these games, Bizarre Creations have pretty much milked all posibilities out of it (in a good way). Instead of having achievements that force you to play…
I wont beat around the bush. This game is awesome ! The only thing bad about it is that it is too short. That might come from the fact that once you start playing, you wont be able to stop. Without a doubt, New Super Mario Bros . is one of the best reasons to buy a Nintendo DS and this game will please Mario veterans and newcomers alike. I tested it with a lot of "non-gamers" and they all fell in love with it.…
The Shadowrun franchise is basically a series of RPG board games in the vein of Dungeons & Dragons but in a sci-fi setting. These games have a huge following and a lot of variations were made. After that a couple of videogames (SNES & Genesis) were inspired by the books who set the rules of the board games. The 2007 Shadowrun is a game that is set in the same Sci-Fi Universe, but is also a Online Multiplayer First…
Explaining Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is rather simple. A 2-D, overhead view, space shooter where your ship and your enemies are geometrical shape. Each type (shape) of enemy has a specific pattern and the game becomes increasingly difficult as more and more enemies appear. Your weapons consist of an assortment of (random) projectiles and also bombs, which happen to clear the whole screen but have the disadvantage…
