Casual Friday: Update for June 27-July 3, 2009
It’s been something of a slow week in the casual game world. For example, most of the Big Fish Games and PlayFirst updates this week were titles that were either members only previously or already launched earlier on other sites. (Enlightenus, Wedding Dash: Ready, Aim Love, Holly 2: Magic Land, Pahelika: Secret Legends, Spiderz, etc…) Very few new casual games debuted. Of course this helps us appreciate the weeks where tons of games are released.…

Gamertell Review: Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament for PSP
More PSP games should be like Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament. It’s a sandbox-style action RPG that gives players total control over the main character, the character’s Trotmobile and the adventure. It also overs single UMD multiplayer.
Battlefield Heroes sports some MJ inspired threads (updated)
We can choose to look at EA’s actions in one of two ways - they’re either paying homage to the late Michael Jackson, or cashing in on his death. Either way it will release two awfully familiar costumers for Battlefield Heroes in July 2009. The first costume is the Smooth… Continue Reading »

Gamertell Preview: Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament for PSP

So when given the chance to test drive the portable Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament, I looked forward to an interesting experience. Adventures in Orion City began after I’d named my character and… Continue Reading »
Opinion: Releasing Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the PS2 a bad idea
At E3 2009, Konami announced the release of a re-imagining of the original Silent Hill. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a pretty good idea, because the development team of the original was pretty limited by the technology at the time. This re-imagining of the original game is coming out for… Continue Reading »

Opinion: Fable 2 on the PC is a smart business decision
Money’s tight. Even if people’s jobs are secure, they’re still cutting back. And then there are those who have been the casualties of cut backs. People aren’t going to be thinking about spending $200, $300 or $400 on a new console bundle, no matter how much they need an escape.… Continue Reading »
Mirror’s Edge 2 is in development
Mirror’s Edge was one of the most unique games we’ve seen this generation. The first-person parkour inspired concept was something we haven’t seen before in games but it wasn’t without it’s flaws. The gun combat, while not an essential part of the game, was regarded as being very frustrating and… Continue Reading »
