Sadame | Review

Posted on March 8, 2016 by Jason Nason

When describing this game to a friend I told him that the game feels like playing Double Dragon, but set in Feudal Japan. While that’s not completely accurate, it does lend to the way that the game feels when you play it. Aside from the fact that the game isn’t a two-player co-op, the game does have a single player “multiplayer” aspect which has some fun to it. In SADAME one hundred years have passed since the Onin War. Havoc struck the heart of the holy city of Kyoto and the world flooded with evil spirits from the mountains and

Solitaire Meets Horse Racing in Pocket Card Jockey

Posted on March 7, 2016 by Jason Nason

I’m a sucker for neat little niche games, and have always enjoyed card games. So when Nintendo tossed out the news that Pocket Card Jockey was coming to North America, I had a huge smile on my face. The game has been developed by Game Freak, a name you should know if you’ve played any Pokémon game ever. They’re only the developers of those games. Since developing the first Pokémon game they’ve been behind every game in the main series since then, including upcoming Sun and Moon. Pocket Card Jockey was released in Japan as a mobile game which has

Metroid Prime Federation Force looks like a fun game

Posted on March 6, 2016 by Jason Nason

There has been some hate online since the brief glimpse Nintendo gave of METROID PRIME: FEDERATION FORCE last year at E3. And when Nintendo showed off a new trailer for the game at their Nintendo Direct last week it didn’t get much better. But perhaps I’m in the minority here, but I think the game looks pretty fun. Sure there are some changes to the look of the game, which is what people are likely upset about. The game’s look and art style is a departure from the METROID PRIME games for the Nintendo GameCube, as well as METROID PRIME:
