I’m always looking for a new strategy game I can sink dozens of hours into and for the last couple of weeks that game has been Horizon. Developed by L3O and published by Iceberg Interactive, Horizon is a turn-based space strategy game. Following up my interest in StarDrive, I turned to Horizon. Does Horizon offer those hours upon hours of gameplay that a strategy should offer? Yes. You’ll choose from one of ten races. You can choose the technological level you...
Adventure Park is just what you may think it is, a theme park management simulator in the same vein as Roller Coaster Tycoon. It has everything you’d expect in a theme park simulator, its got your roller coasters, your stand alone rides, mazes, drink and food stands, themed decorations and more. With Adventure Park providing you with all you’d expect from this type of simulator, does it pull it altogether to give you those dozens (hopefully) of hours of gameplay...
Peggle is back, and it really is better than ever. The formula is all the same: shoot your balls and hit the pegs in a great mashup of plinko and strategy. You aim your shots and shoot your balls, gaining points and multipliers for every peg you remove. The goal is to remove all of the orange pegs from your board and get the highest score you can without running out of balls. With very little core gameplay changes, aside from the addition of new “armored pegs”...

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is Namco-Bandai’s latest title, currently out for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii-U. Based on a television series of the same name, the game follows Pac-Man and company on a quest to return a giant gun… or something. The story isn’t one that’s truly worth paying attention to. The story is delivered to you through prerendered cutscenes shown in the style of the television show. Pac Man, being the last of the Pac-People left...
Let me just get this out of the way, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is a silly, silly game. Don’t take that as a slight on this entertaining and at times challenging platformer, however. In this case, silly is just what the doctor ordered. Though not without its faults, of which there are a few, Namco Bandai has done a commendable job of translating the current animated series to Nintendo’s handheld. Ghostly Adventures is not Pac-Man as you know and love him...

Though, more popularized now than ever before with people eating bath salts and all, one game really puts you into training mode of how to actually deal with zombies. You know, if they ever became real. How do you kill something that is already dead? Burn them? Shoot them in the head? Push them off buildings? All...
At first blush you could be forgiven for dismissing Girl Fight as a shallow fighting game cashing in on cheesecake but you’d be mistaken, sort of. Girl Fight is definitely cashing in on cheesecake but also offers surprising depth in its all-girl roster of fighters. Each character sports a significant command list of combo chains and moves. As a 3D fighting game, it succeeds in feeling like some of the bigger budget games in the genre. When compared to the likes...

Throughout the games twelve hour campaign, players will experience a wide variety of things that they’ve never seen before, drawing inspiration from the gameplay of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption and L.A.
