    The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths Developer: Neko Entertaiment Publisher: Ynnis Interactive Genre: Puzzle/Adventure Game Release Date: 11/21/2013 I can honestly say I’ve never really watched The Mysterious Cities of Gold. When I was a kid, I was more a G.I. Joe, Transformers, Captain Power, Visionaries and the like fan. I’ve always thought the…

    Wipeout: Create and Crash Developer: Be Havior/Endemol Publisher: Activision Genre: Platformer/Game Show Release Date: 10/15/2013 I’ve never actually watched an episode of the game show Wipeout.

    Rayman Legends Developer: Ubisoft Montpelier Publisher: Ubisoft Genre: Platformer Release Date: 09/03/2013 If you’re a long time reader of me here at Diehard GameFAN, then you know platformers and driving games are my two least favorite genres.

  • Review: Pokemon Rumble U (Wii U)

    Pokémon Rumble U Developer: Ambrella Publisher: Nintendo of America Genre: Beat ‘Em Up Release Date: 08/29/2013 The Pokémon franchise has always been good about turning spin-offs into full length series. Pokémon Ranger, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Stadium/Coliseum are all examples of the series breaking free from the same old “eight to ten year old…

  • Review: Lego City: Undercover (Nintendo Wii U)

    Lego City: Undercover Developer: Traveller Tales Publisher: Nintendo Genre: Sandbox Release Date: 03/18/2013 I know, right? This is a bit late. Lego City: Undercover came out in mid-March, right when my pet started having some severe medical issues and so I wasn’t able to touch it until now. I asked other Diehard GameFAN staffers if…

    Bit.Trip Presents…Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien Publisher: Gaijin Games Developer: Gaijin Games Genre: Rhythm/Platformer Release Date: 02/26/2013 My familiarity with the Bit.Trip series doesn’t extend far past the initial reaction of “Wow, there sure are a lot of releases of that game.” Not realizing, of course, that there are actually six different games in…

  • Review: The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultimate Edition (Nintendo Wii U)

    The Amazing Spider-Man Ultimate Edition Developer: Beenox Publisher: Activision Genre: 3-D Action/Sandbox Release Date: 03/05/2013 I have to admit, it really does seem like Marvel is doing its best to destroy their Spider-Man franchise.

    Tekken Tag Tournament II Wii U Edition Developer: Namco Bandai Publisher: Namco Bandai Genre: Fighting Release Date: 11/18/2012 Wow, is this really my eighth review of a Wii U title in less than a month?

    Call of Duty: Black Ops II Developer: Treyarch Publisher: Activison Genre: First Person Shooter Release Date: 11/18/12 Those unfamiliar with Activision’s extremely popular Call of Duty series probably don’t play video games.

  • Review: New Super Mario Bros. U (Nintendo Wii U)

    Nintendo plays it safe with a Mario launch title, but what it lacks in innovation it makes up in fun.
