Scarygirl Publisher: Square Enix Developer: TikGames Genre: Action/Platformer Release Date: 01/18/2012 Platformers have been something I've had a love/hate relationship with for some time. I enjoyed them immensely during the 90's along with the rest of the world, but aside from a few franchis »»
Someone just hearing of Scarygirl for the first time might think of a survival horror title, or perhaps a game chronicling the rise of one of the Spice Girls. The truth of it is actually a bit more grounded in reality: http://youtu.be/-k8pSPko-tQ Scarygirl is being developed by TikGames and pu »»
It's hard to believe that it has been almost two years since the release of Final Fantasy XIII. I know friends and family that both enjoyed and loathed it to some degree due to some of the design decisions that went into it. And understandably so.

I'll be honest, I didn't know a whole lot about Binary Domain prior to going into the demo. Then again, that's what demos are for, right? To learn about a game by way of actually playing it? All I knew is that it was developed by the studio who brought us the excellent Yakuza series of games. While »»
