Road Not Taken Trailer
I’ve never been very fond of the rogue-like genre, but this game has a certain charm about it that presses buttons in all the right order. It also helps that it’s not a traditional rogue-like in that it focuses heavily on puzzles. From the video, I gathered that puzzles are a part of the combat as well. Check out the video and see for yourself what the developers of TrippleTown have in store for the Vita and Playstation 4. Road Not Teken is scheduled to release early next year.

PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate HD
PixelJunk Monsters is a beautifully rendered tower defense game. What primarily separates Monsters from other tower defense games is cursor movement; while most tower defense games feature the player as an omnipresent figure, Monsters provides the Tiki-Man as the protagonist. This adds a unique layer of difficulty because Tiki-Man is not an agile character. Also, any contact with the monsters you’re tasked with destroying ends in a massive loss of coins and more importantly, time.

Nintendo Has Lost Their Minds
So, this is a thing. It’s called the Nintendo 2DS and can do everything the Nintendo 3DS can except the 3D and close to protect the screens. I have lost all hope that Nintendo will ever get back to the Game Boy Advance days. I just…I’m flabbergasted, stunned, and bewildered by this announcement. Looking around, people who have had a hands on with it say that it’s comfortable, but come on! Look at it! It launches October 12th and will cost $130. When I first saw it, I considered it being something parents might get for their kids if it were $100, but I really hope nobody does as they’re…

Killzone Public Beta Today
The Playstation Vita has struggled for over a year to gain a foothold in the Western market, but perhaps things are about to change. For starters, Sony dropped the price of the system and is gearing up for it’s first really decent first person shooter. While I don’t care much for these games, a lot of people in the US have been clamoring for a good FPS on a portable system for years. There have been good games over the years, but most were riddled with bad controls. This one looks to be the game that makes or breaks the Vita in the States. I really hope it turns heads…

Rymdkapsel was first released for the Playstation Vita, but has recently been ported to both iOS and Android smart phones and tablets.

Shonen Jump’s One Piece
I nearly break down in tears anytime I watch a minute of One Piece on Saturday mornings. The awful dubbed voices and extremely over-editing 4kids has done makes one cringe. I want to enjoy One Piece’s story and characters, without painful edits and horrific voice-overs. I had hoped the videogames would be different. Shonen Jump’s One Piece for GBA is tons better than the dubbed show, but it still leaves a lot to be desired.

The Game Boy Advance seems to be THE system to go to in order to play top caliber strategy games. It has seen numerous hits with Tactics Ogre, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars 1 and 2…the list goes on and on. Even dubious titles, such as Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, are still considered quality titles. When all is said and done, the GBA has received a great deal of excellent strategy titles.
