Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is a surprisingly fun addition to our tomb raiding adventures. The isometric camera angle works well with the layout of levels, while co-op brings back memories of afternoons at the arcade. Those who are self-competitive will love the fact that you can revisit levels to find items you missed, beat your time, etc. A few item names and quirks raise eyebrows from time to time, but overall an enjoyable arcade-style experience. VERY good mix of action and puzzles. A must play!

Nevertheless, for $4, Top Gun is pretty hard to beat. Download it now and show the world that, yes, you are dangerous.

Space Ace iPhone Action Adventure June 9, 2009 8.5 | -.-

The iPhone would probably be the last place we’d expect to see a laser-disc game. I mean, come on, how can you fit a frickin’ laser disc onto something that’s smaller than the size of your hand? Surprisingly enough, though, Digital Leisure has done the impossible, cramming Don Bluth’s 1983 arcade game Space Ace into it with little to no problems.

Super Yum Yum 3 iPhone Puzzle Games June 15, 2009 8.0 | -.-

Can a game be considered too cute? In some cases, yes. For instance, Barbie Horse Adventures for the Xbox is too saccharine loaded for its own good. You’ll feel so much pity for the horse being stuck there that you’d wish you could shoot it. Same goes for Barney’s Hide and Seek on the Sega Genesis, but we’ll save you the nausea. Super Yum Yum 3 raises the bar on cuteness, with super-colorful chameleon character wandering around a number of levels, eating fruit. It almost sounds like a crazy twist on the Yoshi’s Story theme, although the folks at Airplay UK surprised us by also including addictive gameplay.

Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad XBOX 360 Miscellaneous June 20, 2009 6.0 | 8.0

OneChanbara is one game that, while unintentionally humorous and entertaining, it’s blatant lack of innovation and substance either grants me a lot of leg room to kick-it down or a serious reason to blabber-on about all it’s overlooked potential. It’s fun or nothing.

Toki Tori iPhone Puzzle Games June 24, 2009 8.5 | -.-

Toki Tori is lots of fun, another winner from the folks at Chillingo. Check it out and have some fun with a hot chick. You won’t even need your credit card. (Well, except to initially purchase it, we suppose.)

NARUTO Shippuden: Ninja Council 4 DS Action Adventure June 26, 2009 6.5 | -.-

Ninja Council 4 is a modest sequel to the Ninja Council series and a fair adaptation of the Shippuden series. The younger and less hardcore you are, the more you’ll enjoy this game.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR iPhone Golf July 9, 2009 8.0 | -.-

Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf is the debut for the series on the iPhone, and EA Sports could’ve easily just ported over an earlier version of the game and called it good. Instead, it went in from the ground up and tailor-made an exquisite golf experience for pros and amateurs alike, thanks to a fundamental touch-screen gameplay system, a mostly solid presentation, and abundant extras that will have you scoring birdies for hours on end.

King of Fighters XII XBOX 360 Fighting Games Sept. 1, 2009 7.8 | -.-

King Of Fighters XII keeps true to its set up with 3-on-3 action with timed matches. The control and combos are extremely easy to pick up. The backgrounds are gorgeous and well done. The online portion was a bit of a headache to use, but it’s nice that you can play multiple people online. Overall, the game itself is absolutely fun to play and it stays true to its arcade roots.

Bionic Commando XBOX 360 Other Shooters July 7, 2009 7.5 | 4.0

After several years in hibernation (not counting the previous XBLA/PSN release Bionic Commando: Rearmed), Capcom’s Bionic Commando franchise is swinging back into action with an all-new 3-D adventure, from the talented development team at Grin. Along with his firearms, he has a trusty mechanical arm that he uses to swing, grab objects and other neat features. The game has many things in common with the NES original (as well as Rearmed), but it’s not quite all it could’ve been.

James Cameron's Avatar - The Game XBOX 360 Action Adventure Jan. 20, 2010 7.5 | 6.0

Overall the game is a visual treat, though the quests and battles are repetitious and not as exciting as one would hope coming off as a movie tie-in. It is worthy of a rent and go when there isn’t much else going on, but not one recommended for purchase and repetitive play.

Disney's Alice in Wonderland Wii Kids/Family March 13, 2010 8.5 | 10.0

Reflects closely to Tim Burton’s style of the film and provides entertainment for children as they are introduced to a timeless classic.

Bubble Bobble Plus Wii Puzzle Games June 22, 2009 9.0 | 6.0

In short, Bubble Bobble Plus is nothing short of awesome, and it’s probably one of the best WiiWare purchases you can make this summer. People who never got into the original won’t get into this one, but everyone else can enjoy the game and burst a few bubbles. Go on, you know you want to.

We’re glad to see Punch-Out!! back on the comeback trail. Next Level Games did a splendid job with it, and we can’t wait to see what project Nintendo has lined up next for them. It truly is the champ.

The excitement keeps rolling and building as you head out and fight for survival in China’s largest city. From explosions to bullets zigzagging in every direction, the only thing you can place trust on is yourself and your partner. But will that be enough?

A CrazyMan iPhone Action Adventure May 1, 2010 8.0 | -.-

Breaking out of the confines of the boardroom, A Crazyman symbolically and physically breaks down the walls of the daily rat race in this action game for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. With concise graphics, and enjoyably fitting music (with just a touch of ridiculous sound effects) A Crazyman looks great on the iPhone. Challenging gameplay is bound to test your tenacity allowing for large replay opportunity.
