Awesomenauts was not a game that was on my radar coming into the month, but after playing the game I have to say that I couldn’t be happier that this review fell into my lap. A side scrolling arena battle game with fun platforming elements, Awesomenauts takes simplistic rules and gameplay and mixes them with a decently deep upgrade system and encourages players to come up with their own strategies to claim victory over their opponents. Each team’s base is...
The Walking Dead Episode 1 is a perfect example of a mature Adventure Game done right in this generation.
Is Fable Heroes the game Xbox Live Arcade needs, but not the one it deserves? We'll chase it in my review.
Four criminals are taken to the top of Grimrock Mountain, given a pardon, and then thrown down into the ancient tunnels inside. If they can survive, they are free. But that’s a big if. With only their wits and what they can find in the dungeon, they must find a way to escape or die in the depths of the mountain, like so many before them. Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling RPG which draws on classic games of the genre but manages at the same time to be modern and...

Does the second game in Microsoft's Arcade NEXT Promotion stand up? Or will it be thrown to it's knees in front of the Blood Forge?

Whenever I purchase a downloadable title I’ll try and ramp down my expectations and try and remember that I am not playing a full feature title. With I Am Alive this was not necessary because the game reminded me at every turn. After grinding through the longest 5-6 hours of gameplay that I’ve experienced in years it became clear why this game was delayed, delayed again, went from being a feature title to a downloadable one, and also why someday they...
