    Reiner Knizia’s Callisto Review

    By

    If you've never heard of Reiner Knizia, you really should take a moment to look him up. Claims that he's "the world's most accomplished game inventor" seem pretty reasonable; after all, the man has created over 500 published games (most of which are pretty highly regarded within the board/card game communities). That said, many of these games have yet to be ported to digital platforms. However, based on Reiner Knizia's Callisto, more of these games deserve such releases.

    RPM: Gymkhana Racing Preview

    By

    There aren't too many gymkhana games available for iOS devices, which is a shame. The motorsport is incredibly challenging and fun to watch, thanks in large part to the tricks and advanced driving skills that participants have to demonstrate. In a couple of weeks, though, the App Store will have one more such title when BulkyPix releases RPM: Gymkhana Racing.

    Six-Guns Preview

    By

    A lone gunman travels the Old West, moving from town to town, facing down enemies under the hot sun and monsters beneath the cold light of the moon. What's that? You've played this game already and it's called Red Dead Redemption? Sorry, no. I'm talking about Six Guns, the new action title from Gameloft.

    Evertales Review

    By

    Let's be up front about something, shall we? Fearless heroes need their heads examined. For every one of those muscle-bound pretty boys that runs off into the darkness to make the rest of us look bad, there's a dozen more —smarter— folks who're hanging out in the tavern, keeping warm by the fire and enjoying a pint. But what happens when some of those folks get drafted to save the kingdom? The results, as seen in Evertales, are delightfully goofy.

    Crystal Caverns of Amon Ra Review

    By

    It's probably for the best that Amon Ra, Ancient Egypt's sun god, isn't around anymore. If he could see his name in Crystal Caverns of Amon Ra, I'm pretty certain that he'd rain fire down on the land from his sky barge. Honestly, he'd be pretty justified, because this new game for the Mac isn't worthy of his association.

    Kinect coming to Windows in 2012

    By

    Kinect has been a massive hit for the Microsoft since it was released last year. Actually, "massive hit" might be an understatement; when you sell 8 million units within 60 days, "gift from the heavens" may be a more accurate description. It was no surprise when Microsoft revealed, back in February, that it was working on a Windows version of the device, but official details about the release date have been a hard to come by… until now, that is.
