Square’s Scarygirl Is Anything But Scary, All Sorts Of Fun

8:00AM January 16, 2012 | Dave Oshry

What if I told you Square Enix and Tik games were coming out with a game based on the celebrated and psychedelic characters of Nathan Jurevicious next week? What if I told you I’ve played it and it was a ton of fun? What if I told you it reminded me of one of my favourite PS1 platformers of all time? Would you be as curious as I am as to why nobody has been talking about this game? Of course you possibly might! More »

Microsoft’s Flight Simulator has for years been the most successful and prominent flight simulator worldwide. Microsoft Flight is a completely different take on the franchise, so much so that it isn’t part of the franchise whatsoever. More »

All I Need Are Waves Of Hexagonal Enemies And Some Electronica To Shoot Them By

It Takes Two To Make NBA Jam Go Right

2:00PM October 10, 2011 | Owen Good

The inability to switch off between players was one of the few drawbacks of an otherwise rollicking NBA Jam revival last year.
