If there is one thing Kinect users want, it’s more games that really take advantage of Kinect’s motion control capabilities. Mini Ninjas Adventures from motion control developer Side Kick and Square Enix lets you become a Ninja, literally! Through 21 levels, the player uses a variety of weapons and magic attacks to destroy enemies and save the fellow ninjas of their village. As a cheap $10 downloadable game, does Mini Ninjas Adventures have players throwing...
Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. A faithful recreation of the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2. There are several real life licensed skaters to choose from and there are 7 levels including the Warehouse, Downhill Jam and Venice Beach. The classic Warehouse is still the starting point in which you have to collect objects and complete objectives to unlock the next map. Tricks are done in the classic Tony Hawk fashion of using the...
From the creators of The Adventures of Shuggy (review here), Smudged Cat Games brings us a quite unique game called Gateways for the PC. Gateways is a 2D platform game about a lab scientist named Ed, who is trying to escape his very own lab after an outbreak of his experiments.

Is SpikySnail's first game an explosive hit, or will it splatter to the ground?
The game does more right than it does wrong. Give it a shot and you may be surprised. If you're a web head, why aren't you already playing it?
Here we are with Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad available on PSN and XBLA. Simply put, this is a game that while it offers a “racing experience”, ends up being very average on its own, and is completely dwarfed in quality by similar titles like Dirt 3, and that series’ embarrassment of riches. First off, a note to game developers, it is ok to hire whomever you want and slap their name on the title. But for God’s sake, could you at least do a voice...
Adventures of Shuggy is a puzzle/platformer with the heart of a casual game.
The Walking Dead Episode 2 started off with one hell of a bang. It immediately punched me in the face and reminded me how terrible the zombie apocalypse actually is. I am trying desperately to help but the zombies are approaching, my ammo is gone, and I am left violently swinging my ax. In the end, I could not help anyone and things might actually be worse now. As everybody walks back into camp I am left wondering what I could have done better, if I actually even had a...
The following is a transcript from a nondescript clinic in the state of California. “Welcome everyone to the inaugural meeting of OMTA (One More Turn Anonymous). I am Counselor Rioux, and I see that we have a few faces in here, so why don’t we introduce ourselves and say why we are here. Let’s start with you sir” Points to man on his left “My name is Bob.” CR:”And why are you here today Bob?” Bob:”I am here because I fell...
Endless Space is a 4X game (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) due out on the 15th of July via Steam. The interface in this game has a fantastic level of polish. Tooltips put most of the information you need at your cursortip, relevant information is logically placed, there are few submenus, controls make navigation easy with both the keyboard and the mouse, and it actually looks good. (Playing 4X games has conditioned me to expect to navigate at least sixteen confusing...
