Tackling Temple Run 2 for iOS at a full...
When I got my iPhone in 2011, I immediately started snatching up as many free games as I could to get a feel for mobile gaming before making any actual monetary investment. One of those games was Imangi Studios' Temple Run, a...more

Review: Krunch
It's going to be tough to talk about Krunch without also mentioning games like Super Meat Boy or VVVVVV, so I'll get it out of the way now: Krunch is similar to these titles in that you will die. A lot. You will also, however...more

A Hat in Time needs to be on your radar
A Hat in Time looks like Wind Waker, is designed like an N64-era platformer, and is coming out for PC. What? I have to write more than that for this post? Hmm, alrighty then. To be honest, I remember seeing A Hat i...more

The absurdly successful iOS and Android game Temple Run is getting a direct sequel from Imangi Studios very soon. So soon, in fact, that it's already available on the New Zealand App Store and will be making its way to other ...more

If you could somehow combine the addictiveness of micro-transactions with the uncertainty of card packs, you'd probably make a lot of money. Disney is going to make a lot of money. Just a hunch. In June, Disney Infinity, Aval...more

Aban Hawkins & the 1,001 Spikes

Aban Hawkins and 1,000 Spikes (by 8BitsFanatics) didn't get a fair shake. The game is better than 99% of the stuff on the Xbox Live Arcade marketplace, but sadly, that's not where it even ended up.

Combine that with the game's NES-style graphics, Japanese-style gameplay, and tough-as-nails difficulty, and you have a new IP that had a tough time commanding the attention of the Xbox 360 install base.
