I’m sure there are at least a couple of you that read my last column. Those few of you may recall that I teased this week’s game as being some sort of RPG. So, upon seeing the title for the column or any of the pics, you’re probably wondering if you missed an edition or [...]

Alice in Wonderland
Publisher: Disney Interactive
Developer: Disney Interactive
Genre: Action/Adventure
Release Date: 03/02/2010

I usually start these columns off with a little paragraph of two that relates in some way to the reason I decided to play the game. I won’t do that this time.
Instead, I’d like to apologize for not getting a column up in the past two weeks. My computer at home suffered a massive [...]

Crime Scene
Publisher: SouthPeak Games
Developer: White Birds Productions
Genre: Adventure
Release Date: 02/16/2010
At this point, I’m clearly no stranger to detective games on the DS. It all started when I played Hotel Dusk. After the awesomeness that was that game, I was ready and willing to play any any other detective game just on the off chance it [...]

There were two reasons I was really excited to get my hands on Overlord Minions for the DS.
The first was that the Overlord series is one that I find interesting. I don’t know if it is the charm of the minions or the sheer thrill of getting to play the bad guy for [...]

Here we are in week four of Catching Up With 2009. It has been nearly a month since I started this column, and trust me, I’ve still got a ways to go before I’ve fully caught up with everything. I even ventured over to a new Gamestop in my area and picked up about six [...]

Developer: Infinite Interactive
Genre: Puzzle RPG
Release Date: 01/28/2010

So, first things first. I promised that any game that came up in my journey of backlogged games that didn’t have a review, I’d review. That hasn’t changed. I was initially planning to write a separate piece for both the column and review itself. However, after discussing it with my fellow staffers, I’ve decided that [...]

Yep. I got a new banner for this thing. Yep. I’m aware it has all the artistic merit of a Miley Cyrus CD. What do you expect? I’m a writer, not an artist. I have several teachers from middle school that can attest to that. If nothing else, it will make sure Henry Hatsworth gets [...]

Despite the fact that I am pretty much dirt poor, I buy a ton of games. In fact, I buy more games than I can even play. I’ve lost count of how many excursions to used games shops I’ve walked out of with a handful of games. Most of the time, the games I buy [...]

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
Genre: Action Adventure
Release Date: 12/07/2009
I didn’t grow up with The Legend of Zelda like many other lucky gamers. In fact, the only game I played before Ocarina of Time was Link’s Adventure, and that hardly counts because it is so different from the rest of the series. [...]
