Dead Block fills the zombie apocalypse with rampant vandalism and ingenious booby traps, yet somehow the result is exceedingly dull. The Good Enjoyable array of booby traps. The Bad Majority of gameplay consists of the same repetitive actions When you are doing great, it’s boring When you are doing poorly, it’s frustrating Timing-based minigames hampered [...]

Review : Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Posted by Rishi on October 14th, 2011
The Good Exotic atmosphere Satisfying puzzles Fun and rewarding exploration Exciting boss fights. The Bad Poor visual feedback Sometimes finicky controls. If there’s one thing Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet proves, it’s that even the brightest stars can be corrupted. This 2D adventure casts you as an intrepid alien sent to weed out a sickness that [...]

Posted by Rishi on October 14th, 2011
Street Cleaning Simulator is a broken, unrealistic mess that takes a relatively boring concept and makes it even worse. The Good Nicely detailed sweeper vehicles. The Bad Not a realistic simulation AI vehicles do their best to try to destroy you Horrendously slow No replay value. UK REVIEW–The prospect of Street Cleaning Simulator may not [...]

Frozen Synapse is a great turn-based game with stirring tactical multiplayer battles that reward clever thinking. The Good Engrossing tactical gameplay Exhilarating, addictive multiplayer Massive single-player campaign Pleasant electronica soundtrack.

Review : Bleach: Soul Resurreccion
Posted by Rishi on October 14th, 2011
The Good Slick animation and colorful visuals Solid cast of playable characters. The Bad Simplistic combat Repetitive level structure Bland environments Relies too much on previous knowledge of Bleach. Who is Ichigo Kurosaki? Why is Rukia Kuchiki doomed to die? Is Hueco Mundo a person, place, or thing? If you can answer these questions, then [...]

Posted by Rishi on October 14th, 2011
This pricey one-trick pony provides an amusing trot down memory lane, but you’ll be saddle sore before you know it. The Good Campy full-motion video acting. The Bad There’s only one thing to do in the game That thing takes less than five seconds to do Some opponents are brutally quick. It was a different [...]
Review : Galaga Legions DX
Posted by Rishi on October 14th, 2011
The Good Fun shooting action that rewards skill and efficiency Constantly evolving waves of enemies Attractive visual options that make good use of classic sprites.

Review : Red Faction: Armageddon – Path to War
Posted by Rishi on October 14th, 2011
With only four uneven missions of downloadable destruction, Path to War offers too little and costs too much. The Good Shard gun fuels some destructive fun. The Bad It’s only an hour long Vehicle sections blunt the explosive excitement Can’t use new guns in other modes. Given Red Faction: Armageddon’s extensive destructibility and delightfully devastating arsenal, [...]

Posted by Rishi on October 14th, 2011
Flaky detection and awkward menus seriously hamper this dance fitness game. The Good High-energy workouts Jazzy neon visuals. The Bad Inconsistent movement detection Awkward menu interface Unreliable online play. It’s a no-brainer: dance-fitness craze Zumba is good exercise. Try not working up a sweat mimicking the up-tempo jigging of a Zumba instructor, successfully or otherwise, and so [...]

Posted by Rishi on October 14th, 2011
Chantelise is a flawed but fun action role-playing game that’s charming and challenging in equal doses. The Good Appealing characters, setting, and dialogue Offers a satisfying challenge Intuitive controls. The Bad Several key gameplay elements aren’t explained well in-game Gets grindy and repetitive Crude graphics. Easy Game Station might not be a household name, but [...]
