Pokémon Moon
Well, now I know that Pokémon games just aren’t for me. I’d never played a proper Pokémon game before (had never had an interest), but decided to take Pokémon Moon out for a spin, just to try and understand why so many people love these games. I put in 2 hours, and just couldn’t get…

Bullet Hell Monday
I’ve been playing this new bullet hell shooter for iOS called Bullet Hell Monday, and having an absolute blast with it. It was created by Masayuki Ito, who has already created two other iOS shmups — .Decluster: Into the Bullet Hell and .Decluster Zero: Bullet Nocturne — but this is the first of his games…

Actual Sunlight
This is one of the free games on offer through PlayStation Plus this month, for the Vita, and I just played through it this morning in one sitting. I didn’t pay attention to the length it took (lost track of time, but was probably 1-2 hours), which is telling of how I got sucked into…

Rise of the Tomb Raider
I really liked the rebooted Tomb Raider game from a few years ago, and was really looking forward to this sequel, but couldn’t play it last year because I don’t have an Xbox One (it was an X1 exclusive). It finally came out on PS4, and having played 3-4 hours, I’m loving it. If you…

Dragon Quest Builders (Demo)
Been pretty curious about this game – I feel like it’s something that will give me the direction I find lacking (for me) in Minecraft – and so was happy that they released a demo so we can take it out for a spin. The first thing to mention is that I love the soundtrack.…

Destiny: Rise of Iron
Well, after leaving the game for close to a year (the last time I played was I think in December, when they had the Sparrow racing event), as the time was coming for the release of this expansion, I decided to re-install the game. Feeling rusty, I went ahead and created a new character, and…

Picross 3D Round 2 (Demo)
With the release of Picross 3D Round 2 last week, and my newfound love for Picross thanks to the My Nintendo edition I’m currently playing, I was excited to give the 3D game a try thanks to the demo they’ve also released. Having played through that demo, I gotta say that I think I much…

My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
I’d unlocked this through the My Nintendo account I have with points a while back, but had forgotten to download it, something I finally got around to doing this past weekend. Boy am I late to this party. This is the first time I play a Picross game – I’m not particularly attracted to puzzle…

Astro Boy: Edge of Time (Demo)
This has just launched as a Kickstarter campaign, and what’s really nice is that they’ve released a demo that you can check out, that gives you a try at the card gameplay (a tech test of sorts). As I just wrote, I love card games, and I love the creations of Tezuka Osamu, and so…

Elder Scrolls: Legends (PC Beta)
I like card games a lot (been playing them most of my life, from the first years that Magic: The Gathering showed up on the scene), and have actually been quite looking forward to release of this game. I’ve had a chance to try it out during its PC Beta, and gotta say that I’m…
