Pac-Man, a gaming staple since nearly the beginning and a title that is a timeless title. From the music to the graphics, that impression on the subconscious is permanent once you play a few mazes, even if it has been years.

Review: Blazing Star by SNK Playmore on the JXD S601 Android Hand Held
January 5th, 2013 triverse The Neo Geo, a system that not many owned but many know about and probably wanted (who didn’t want arcade perfect home games?). The price was the biggest hurdle for many gamers back in the day and with a recent relaunch of the basic idea of the system, more gamers will probably get to enjoy [...]
3 Pinball Games Worth Your Time on Android
January 1st, 2013 triverse Pinball is a genre that I never really got into growing up, partly because of the high cost of entry and the speed in which the game was over (a buck for three chances was NOT a good deal to a youngster that could own Strider for a good 10 minutes on a single quarter). [...]
Review: Raiden Legacy on JXD S601 Android Hand Held
December 22nd, 2012 triverse Back in the day, we took games like Raiden for granted, the genre was overpopulated so to speak, there were tons of scrolling shooters available on all platforms. Even with all of that competition, the quality of Raiden was able to stand out and spawned quite the following with fans. Now, years later, Raiden has [...]

Review: Rimblade by Gremlin Games Mobile on Android Using the Zeepad 7″ ICS Android Tablet
November 24th, 2012 triverse Anyone that grew up playing games in the late 80′s and early 90′s will recognize the style that Gremlin Games Mobile are going for in their title, Rimblade. Overhead scrolling shooters are rarer than they used to be (at one time, overhead/sidescroll shooters were more popular than action adventure games).

Wingbreaker Shoots Onto the iOS Platform
October 3rd, 2012 triverse Anyone that remembers the old days of gaming when we had overhead scrolling shooters that were cool, interesting and challenging without being obnoxious with the bullet count will be right at home with Wingbreaker on iOS by Riggerman Games. Blasting enemies, collecting power-ups and more abound in this throwback to a simpler, many would say [...]

Review: Contract Killer on Zeepad Android Tablet
September 2nd, 2012 triverse Contract Killer is a title that I was very interested in reviewing on the the JXD S601 but couldn’t due to the lower screen resolution. While the game played fine, there came a point where advancement was impossible due to the screen not showing all of the gameplay screen (the “buy” button was below the [...]

Retro Review – Godzilla Domination – Game Boy Advance
August 12th, 2012 triverse When I first discovered Godzilla Domination, I was apprehensive about it. I was a dyed in the wool fan of King of Monsters fan from way back when it first hit arcades (and later certain home consoles). One thing that constantly came to mind while play KoM oh so many years ago was how cool [...]
