Go on a terrible date… with justice!
HIGH Charmingly absurd writing hits the right notes.

The Dark Spire Review
Have fun storming the castle
HIGH Surviving an onslaught of six or so enemies without having any characters die.
LOW Constantly having to create and level new characters because I couldn't afford to revive the ones who'd fallen in battle.
WTF I don't want a game that holds my hand through the experience, but a little explanation about how things work would have been nice…
Tokyo Beat Down Preview
Another peek into the inner workings of fan-pleasin' publisher, they were kind enough to send along some photos and information on their upcoming title Tokyo Beat Down for the Nintendo DS. Unless you're the type of player that regularly picks up golden oldies, I'm guessing that it's been a while since a side-scrolling beat'em-up has come your way.
Operation Darkness mea culpa

Zooo – Review
Zooo is a "things switching places" sort of puzzler. Players must capture animals by lining up at least three of the same kind of creature—three lions, three elephants, etc. Lines can be either vertical or horizontal; they're formed by flipping two animals that are right next to each other. Anybody who's played Bejeweled knows this drill, but the game is no less fun for that.
Zooo – Consumer Guide
Parents have almost nothing to worry about. As a puzzle game, Zooo features even less violence than most E-rated games do. There's no nudity or sexual content. However, there is a panda that sometimes says, "Whew! Damn it!" when one's game is over. Puzzle game fans won't find this game […]
