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

Temple Run 2 hits the App Store this...

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

New Super Mario Bros. U

New Super Mario Bros. 2 was a good game, but I couldn't help feeling disappointed with it. The first New Super Mario Bros. felt like a breath of fresh air, a welcome return to the past in an age where such simplicity had been forgotten. The right bit of nostalgia at the right time can feel incredibly new.

The sequel was not that. Already following New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario 3D Land, it didn't feel old-school as much as it felt plain old. Still good, but wholly unambitious.

With the advent of New Super Mario Bros. U, I now know why it lacked adventure and inspiration. Nintendo had clearly already spent itself working on this little bit of greatness.
