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…

Sonic Lost World: Deadly Six Bonus Edition Developer: Sonic Team Publisher: SEGA Genre: 3D Platformer Release Date: 10/29/2013 I used to love Sonic games. The first two for the Sega Genesis were amazing as a little kid and even to this day I have a lot of fun with them. Sonic CD is another game…

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. Sure, I’ve seen a few seconds of it flipping channels from time to time, but the hosts seemed annoying and I didn’t find anything funny or exciting about people…

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. Now that doesn’t mean there aren’t games in each genre I enjoy. Take platformers for existence, since that’s…

Star Wars Pinball Genre: Pinball Developer: Zen Studios Publisher: Zen Studios Release Date: 07/11/13 As we’ve discussed previously, while Zen Studios is likely most notable to gamers because of their Marvel Pinball series of tables across the different consoles, they’ve been expanding their range of licenses as time has gone on. The majority of their…

The Croods Publisher: D3 Publisher of America Developer: Dreamworks Interactive Genre: Party Release Date: 03/19/2013 Before you read this article, take a moment to read what Matt said about the 3DS version. The Croods is a movie from Dreamworks Entertainment; this is a collection of mini-games based loosely on the movie. I’ve put off writing…

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…

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Genre: Action / RPG Release Date: 3/19/13 With Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Capcom’s “love it or hate it” Monster Hunter series makes its third Western console debut on Nintendo’s Wii U. If this is your first foray into the series, here is a bit of background on…

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. First we had the “One More Day” fiasco where Spider-Man sold his marriage to the devil to save Aunt May’s life.…

Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 Developer: Koei Publisher: Tecmo Koei Games Genre: 3-D Action/Beat ‘Em Up Release Date: 02/07/2013 Man, it’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a Wii U game. My last one was Tekken Tag Tournament II Wii U Edition back in December and I didn’t think there was going…

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? So much for not reviewing games this year. Anyway, I’ve never been a big fan of the Tekken series. I’ve…

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. At all. Even with that said, the series has been such a tremendous success, within the realms of the hobby, that it has…
