Reviews

Mini Ninjas Adventures review (XBLA)

The Kinect gets a new downloadable offering, and this one is actually pretty enjoyable. If you’re looking for something to play on Microsoft’s motion gaming device, check out Mini Ninjas Adventures.

Ace Attorney review (Movies)

Capcom’s courtroom series hits the big screen, and it does so in major fashion, delivering an experience that’s sure to gain a major cult following.

Savages review (Movies)

Don’t let this action thriller’s questionable ending(s) deter you from watching it. Savages is a great movie worth the price of admission.

NCAA Football 13 review (Xbox 360)

College football hits consoles once again, and it manages to provide an awesome experience for fans of the sport.

Bellator: MMA Onslaught review (XBLA)

If you’re an MMA fan and are looking for a more simplistic, arcade-like experience, Onslaught has exactly what you’re looking for. It’s no heavyweight champ, but it’s still a lot of fun.

The Walking Dead Episode 2: Starved For Help review (XBLA)

Telltale’s take on the popular Walking Dead series continues to offer rewarding adventure gameplay.

The Tommy Wi-Show Season One DVD review

If you’re a fan of quirky video game humor (or The Room), do yourself a favor and add this DVD to your collection, you basturrs.

Centipede: Origins review (iOS)

It’s old school, it’s fun, and it’s a dollar. What more do you want from this retro throwback?

Five iconic video game items that should never be made into replicas
