Nick Tylwalk enjoys writing about video games, comic books, pro wrestling and other things where people are often punching each other, regaardless of what that says about him. He prefers MMOs, RPGs, strategy and sports games but can be talked into playing just about anything.

    NBA 2K: MyLIFE Review

    By

    I've been wishing I was a little bit taller and that I was a baller since Skee-Lo first hipped me to the idea in the mid-90s, but I've never been able to live the life of an NBA basketball player. Now I can, and you can too - or at least what Fifth Column Games thinks it might be like, thanks to NBA 2K MyLIFE for Facebook. Apparently it involves very little basketball. Who knew?

    Pirate101 Review

    By

    Once you get past all the looting and pillaging, pirates can be alright people. As evidence, I submit Pirate101, the all ages, free-to-play MMOPG from KingsIsle Entertainment, where players take on the role of heroic pirates in a land of flying ships, anthropomorphic animals and tactical combat. Also booty, but since this is a kid-friendly game, I'm talking about treasure.

    Cricket Fever Challenge Review

    By

    I'm not sure if Cricket Fever belongs to the same family of afflictions as Bieber Fever, but hopefully there's at least a cure. If there isn't, at least Cricket Fever Challenge can help people deal with some of the symptoms, allowing players to experience some of the fun - but only some - of what is possibly the world's second most popular sport for free on iOS devices.

    Armed Heroes Review

    By

    Say this for Armed Heroes (formerly known as Armed Heroes Online): It's not misleading you at all with its title. This freemium fantasy action MMORPG does contain heroes, and they are in fact armed. Chinese developer EGLS didn't provide it with a whole lot of originality, but it's a competent way to do some questing with or without other people helping you on your iOS device of choice.

    in Space Review

    By

    Starting off a review with a rhetorical question might be a little passe, but here's one anyway: Can a game be unabashedly retro yet forward thinking at the same time? Actually that might not be rhetorical, because in Space by the one-man indie shop Ysty Games qualifies on both counts. It's a quirky space shooter that marries a minimalist aesthetic with challenging and potentially unlimited gameplay, pretty much taking less is more to a whole new plane.

    True Skate Review

    By

    Skateboarding is cool, but undeniably hard. I only had to suffer a few dozen bruises and road rashes in my youth to realize I was never going to be good at it. Were it easier, though, there's little doubt I would have stuck with it longer. And if True Skate by True Axis had been around back then (along with an iOS device to play it), I probably would have just skipped the pain and skateboarded with my fingers instead.

    Death Dome Review

    By

    I don't know about you, but I hate it when a virus starts mutating people into monsters, the powers that be decide to seal the infected in a big dome, and you have to fight your way out. Of course if it's just a game, it's all good, which is why Death Dome by Glu Mobile is more fun than the real thing, even if  its gameplay doesn't break any new ground.
