Tale of Tales gives us a spindle of Salome
Tale of Tales, the creators of “The Path”, are releasing a little more information about their newest venture, tentatively titled “Fatale”. The game is based on a biblical story, specifically Salome, a princess that demanded the head of John the Baptist. I’m definitely not up on my biblical stories, and so could care [...]

Flourless Cooking (ie : Gardening Mama)
Cooking Mama, if you aren’t aware of it, came out on the DS years ago to rave reviews. Not only was it not a typical hack-n-slash or driving game, but it was one of the first games to really utilize everything the DS’s touch screen had to offer. You chopped, pulled, blew, stirred, [...]

…like the fist of an angry god…
OK, if you haven’t seen or heard of “The Guild”, I’m not sure how you even got to this website. If you are a real gamer, I don’t even have to post this.
But, if you are like me & have just simply been kayaking & head-down in a database for the last week, then [...]

Games We Miss
While perusing some old Gaming Magazine issues, I came across a quiz about MDK.
*sigh*. “Oh how I miss MDK. I loved that game..” And I wondered how many other people think back on creatures they’ve killed, heroines they’ve saved, characters they’ve known and loved, and ponder how much they miss them..
So, I want to know: [...]

E3: Running recap
OK, there are about 2,000+ reviews of what is going on at E3 right now. If you’re not following someone on twitter, or their live blog, or blah blah blah, then you’re obviously a very busy monkey… Which is why I’m going to recap some of the highlights!
Here’s just a few of the [...]

Couple Gaming is led down The Path
After Ymiris posted his anticipation of a new horror game called “The Path”, we were positively flabbergasted to be contacted by the developers. US! Couple Gaming, actually being seen! After we got over the shock & Ymiris could hear again (I’m a screamer), we downloaded our Review Copy (Squeee!) of The Path, and after an [...]

Kingdom of Keflings
Ever since Xbox 360 introduced us to their version of a Mii, we have been longing to abuse ourselves in various ways. Sure, we now have our little avatars having Party Chats, and we can dress our avatars in ridiculous clothing (if no one has seen what I did to Ymiris’ avatar, I highly suggest [...]

Nintendo DSi: Now even more DS-y
STOP!
Do NOT purchase a new Nintendo DS Lite just because your last one is not in the new Spring Colors, or because a herd of baboons have trampled over it. I promise you, those baboons will be back, and next time you will need to be prepared!
Last week, I ran across a list of [...]

Zenses: Ocean
It seems to be the new theme: DS comes up with about 4 games, all based on the exact same idea. No “release one and see how it’s received”, no “testing the waters”, and evidently no consumer testing, but as a rip-off version of an actually successful game.
They’ve done this with the [...]

Eye of Providence
Anyone that is a friend of this site knows my favorite games: Phoenix Wright & Hotel Dusk.
I’ve been lucky enough that the Phoenix Wright line has continued to 4 or 5 games (like a good book series), but I have been left cold with Hotel Dusk.
Cing, the creators of Hotel Dusk as well as Trace [...]
