Fun while it lasts, this unique puzzle platformer ends just as it's getting started.
It’s almost eerie how much Mighty Switch Force reminds me of an SNES game. It’s not bogged down at all by story, character development, or anything that normally keeps a game from moving forward. Players are dropped into a world with no explanation of who they are, how to use their abilities, or what they must do in order to complete the level. Despite all this, it comes naturally, as if you’ve played it before and already know exactly what to do; a sure testament to the game’s fantastic design. Unfortunately, like many an SNES game, it’s over all too quickly.
Without (much) further ado, we present the nominees...

The cloud-based gaming service is headed toward Google TV. Are you?

A change has occurred for Sony's transferable dungeon crawler.
At last year’s E3, Sony paraded out a little title called Ruin that was playable between both the PS3 and on the Vita. Much has been made of this transferring ability but today Sony announced that Ruin is no more. That’s right, Sony has decided to exchange the game’s original title for a new one and as such Ruin is now Warrior’s Lair.

Difficult block puzzles may now be my worst nightmare as well.
It’s not often that the gaming world is delivered a title with such depth, difficulty, and intrigue as Catherine. Its dual gameplay elements blend aspects of the Persona series with extremely challenging puzzles alongside subject matter that has never truly been explored by a game before. While it suffers from its fair share of problems and squanders some of its own potential, the difficult gameplay will leave players with a sense of considerable satisfaction and the twisted story will keep them guessing.
Based on the graphic novel of the same name, players can dive into the game in just 2 weeks.
Square Enix announced today that they plan to publish Scarygirl on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC. Appearing as soon as January 18 on XBLA, with a January 24 PSN release to follow, players will be able to action-platform with the titular, tentacle-armed protagonist. Scarygirl is haunted by bad dreams and sets out on a quest to determine their meaning.
Firaxis states the new title is already in the works.
XCom is a franchise that, until two years ago, many assumed was dead and gone. In 2010, however, longtime fans rejoiced at headlines that revealed a new title was in the works. In most cases, though, this excitement only lasted as long as it took to read the article under those headlines, which revealed that this latest entry would actually be a first person shooter instead of an overhead strategy game. Internet outrage soon followed.
