Earlier this year, I was introduced to the rather unusual concept of Pong as a rhythm game in the form of Bit.Trip Beat, a downloadable title released via Nintendo's WiiWare service. With its pixelated retro-style visuals, and fun, challenging gameplay, I was hooked instantly. And just when the addiction began to wane, Bit.Trip Core came around and pulled me right back in.

Tactical role-playing games are typically rather slow-paced affairs, that – much like Chess – require you to take much consideration into your moves, as well as your opponents in order to attain victory.

Rotohex is one those games that sounds simple, but is really quite challenging. The game tasks you with hexagons with the triangles found on the playing field. Making Hex's (which are…
Black is an explosive shooter that comes from developer, Criterion Games, who is known for their work on the highly successful Burnout series. Black aims to take the type of action seen in movies and put it into a videogame. And for the most part Black does good job of doing this, by including some really good action sequences. But sadly, Black is plagued by many problems that prevent it from reaching its full…
