Tweet Up until now there haven’t been many big video game releases. Don’t get me wrong, Margaritaville Online has its place, but it is hardly a hardcore title. Unless you mean hardcore drinking, but even that is questionable. Luckily the end of January means the first of 2012′s big console...

Release of the Week: Zen Pinball 3D (3DS eShop)

Tweet The death of Pinball is one of the saddest events in gaming history. While no one can question the popularity of a pinball table, they never made much economical sense.

Review: Saints Row: The Third

Tweet The Saints Row franchise is one that is easily looked over or dismissed. On the surface it appears to be just another Grand Theft Auto ripoff. Both franchises are third-person open world games taking place in a city that you and your gang are attempting to take over. In that respect Saints Row: The...

Release of the Week: Infinity Blade II (iOS)

Tweet It isn’t very often that the week’s biggest game is on the iOS. Publishers tend to push rather hard to get their games out before Black Friday as they apparently want to make money. Downloadable games, especially those in the mobile space, aren’t as particular. This is especially true...
