    Acme Planetary Defense Review

    By

    Most of us, when we hear the word "acme," skip the dictionary definition and make a mental beeline straight for the misadventures of Wile E. Coyote. At first glance, the connection between the mischievous character and Acme Planetary Defense - the new shooter from Taptoon Games - is tenuous at best, consisting only of the fact that your upgrades and resources are delivered in iconic crates. A little hands on time with the colorful, chaotic shooter however, reveals a game that would do the Looney Toons proud.

    Conquer 3 Kingdoms Review

    By

    The first thing you're likely to notice about Conquer 3 Kingdoms is that despite being billed as an RPG, the actual game is more akin to classic arcade beat-em-ups like Double Dragon. Instead of roaming around on an open fantasy landscape, you're restricted to a limited side-scrolling area, and must do battle with hordes of enemies. In fact, it's arguable that LeTang mixes the arcade formula up a bit by throwing in conventional RPG elements like character levels, inventory and skill points. Unfortunately, the game is never able to elevate itself beyond much more than frantically mashing buttons.

    FleetCOMM: Operation Vigrior Preview

    By

    Vigrior, according to Wikipedia, is a large field upon which the forces of the Gods and Surtr will do battle at Ragnarok. It's also the name of the galactic sector you'll command in FleetCOMM: Operation Vigrior, an upcoming real-time strategy game in which humanity struggles to defend itself against an alien enemy known as the Virals. Unlike conventional RTSes, however, FleetCOMM will forgo unit building or resource gathering in favor of what strategy games are supposed to be all about: epic military engagements.
