Touched by a Turtle

This is Tortimer, a video game character from the Animal Crossing series. He serves as the mayor of your town in all three of the Animal Crossing games, but he is not a real person. He is a character controlled by lines of code and is only capable of relaying so much pre-programmed dialog. You [...]

[Review] MadWorld

I was able to complete my review of MadWorld in record time. That’s because the game is short, disappointingly so. The game’s controls and visuals are excellent, but it ends far too quickly. Rent it!

Layton in Limbo

Sessler Slips on Soapbox

I spent nearly six hours playing Resident Evil 5 today with a friend (we were close to two-thirds complete when I left), and we love it. It’s like a suped up version of Resident Evil 4, a game we both rank as one of our top favorites. Adam Sessler of X-Play would probably agree that RE4 [...]

Red, White & JACK!

MadWorld is No More Heroes meets Jet Set Radio meets Sin City.
Allow me to explain.

Red, White & Black

Mad World looks good. Not “good…for a Wii game,” but good.
Sure, it may be hiding from the Wii’s glaring graphical inefficiencies in a Sin City/Kill Bill-esque visual quirk, but it’s a clever quirk that I’m sure will allow players to focus more upon the gameplay everyone claims is so much more important.
I’ll be spending my [...]

In the Dark

LIT is another affordable excuse to dust off your Wii before Mad World comes out this week. Check out my review over at GamePositive+.
