Name: Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

Release Date: 2/16/10
Genre: Point and Click Adventure
Rating: T

Eureka! We are back with another installment in the popular Ace Attorney franchise. Its been two years since we were last in the courts with Apollo Justice and it seems that we will have to wait a bit longer because in Ace Attorney Investigations, the player takes the role of Miles Edgeworth as he uses logic to deduct what really happens at each crime scene. The game takes a fresh and new approach on the Ace Attorney series introducing the first major changes that the series has seen since its creation. I appreciate that they are taking creative liberties, however, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

Story ( 2/10 ) :

I’m one of those gamers who likes to have an intricate story planned out when I play a game. From the loading screen I assumed that this would be some type of sci-fi mech shooter, but I was soon introduced to the error of my assumption. The game has no visible story line when you play, but from what I’ve gathered your a mech named Thexder and you’re sole mission is to get to the core of this space base to destroy to find out and destroy whatever is messing with it.

Multi-player( 2/10 ) :

As far as the multi-player component is concerned, there weren’t many people online to play with. You pretty much get to go through a level together and beat it. Although this can be fun, it would have been nice to see some more modes, like dog fights between two Thexders (If that’s the right way to say it, haha) or things of that nature. If you’re really into this game and like playing on the harder difficulty you’ll appreciate this. Well, that is if you can find someone online to play with. Read the rest of this entry »

What do slugs do when they’re not looking for bigger shells to crawl into? No, wait. Those are snails. Apparently we don’t know much about slugs, but luckily for us the guys over at Republic of Fun do. Their latest game, Slug Wars, chronicles exactly what slugs do when Homo sapiens like ourselves aren’t watching; partaking in all-out warfare.

What do we think of Slug Wars? Should Slug Wars be on your iPhone or iPod Touch? Find out after the jump!

Platform: PC
Genre: MMO

The Star Trek Online Open Beta began on January the 12th and ran for just 14 days. It enabled people who were lucky enough to get their hands on a beta key from give-aways or pre-orders to test out and get a feel of the game as well as helped the developers to fix numerous bugs.

The time of the game is set in 2409 and the Klingon/Federation peace treaty has gone sour. (Full time line can be found here) However, there are also the Borg flying around space trying to assimilate anything that moves.

So, how does the game stack up?

I don’t know about you, but I’m a sure sucker for a Tower Defence game. I can’t count the hours I’ve wasted in front of a PC playing TD while I should have been working (mostly on this very site).

When I eventually leave the house I have found myself with a problem, I’m no longer in front of my PC and I can’t play a Tower Defence game. Yes, I am truly that addicted. In a desperate move I begged my HTC Magic for help and I fount this brilliant Tower Defence game, Robo Defence by Lupis Labs. Read the rest of this entry »

By now you would think that Hyrule would be safe enough. However, it is not, so lets dive back into Hyrule for the 15th (cannon series) time. I have played 14 out of the 15 released Zelda (never played Oracle of Seasons), I have beaten 10 of them, so while I am not the biggest Zelda expert in the world I do love the series and am a fan of them. Therefore, I am writing this as a fan of the series so if it seems a little biased, it probably is.

So in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks we dive into New Hyrule, a place discovered by Tetra and crew after the events of Phantom Hourglass. It is now many year later (probably about 500 or so) and the game begins with relatively no peril. It starts with Link the Engineer going to Zelda’s castle in a train on the spirit tracks (divine tracks that were created by the great spirits) to become an official Engineer. After arriving Link must sneak Zelda out of the castle because she want to go to the Tower of the Spirits, a tower which is keeping a great evil force at bay and also is the center of the spirit tracks. However, along the way Zelda’s chief advisor ends up being a demon goat thing and having a minion who is one of the seven sages and also having a demon train. He then kills Zelda and steals her body to summon the Dark Lord Malladus, a great evil force sealed in the tower, which he just destroyed. So the adventure beings with Link and ghost Zelda having to save the day.
