I was planning on making a full review for this game, but I don’t feel like it, so instead I’ll make a shorter impressions post.

DeathSmiles took over a year to get here after coming out in Japan, and frankly I’m surprised it came out here at all. But after seeing that it was selling for 65$ here in Canada (though it did go down at 55$ already, which I still feel is too high), I decided that I would just rent it.

So read on and see what I thought about it!

The first game in the series only made it to America recently via the Wii’s Virtual Console. So we can be pretty happy that the second one came out here in a relatively timely matter.

The original on the N64 was a fun shooter in the veins of Star Fox, but with really confusing controls, since you had to control the character seperately from the cursor that you use to aim at enemies, it was a bit hard to manage (though not impossible once you got the hang of it). So the Wii release should logically correct that minor problem, and at the same time make for a very fun game.

Well, I did my massive post, so let’s go back to what I’m used to writing: reviews. 

This time I’m gonna touch on a game that came out around 7 months ago on the Nintendo Wii, which was largely overlooked. That game is Castle of Shikigami 3. Though “hardcore” gamers on Wii complain a lot that the Wii lacks “hardcore” games, and with good reason, they always seem to disregard this one game which can only interest the “hardcore” gamer.

With its oldschool shoot ‘em up gameplay and intense challenge, is it one of those games that non-casuals should look into, or is it just a big flop? Click on the link to read on! (don’t worry, this definitely won’t be as long as my previous post )

Super Stardust Portable is the little brother to the smash-hit PSN title, Super Stardust HD, and is currently sitting on the European PSN Store for £6.30. With a lot to live up to, will this game manage to match its big brother? Or is the PSP too limited a piece of hardware for the game to meet its potential or for it to even be worth the asking price? Read on to find out for yourself.

Wow, just wow. This game is overwhelming, VERY overwhelming. Now I won’t claim I completed the game at all, as I’ve barely scratched the main story, so I won’t really mention anything about it in this review, but feel free to leave your comments down here about the story itself. The game as so many things to let you do, that it doesn’t really matter though.

I’ve been playing the ps3 version, and it has received a lot of bad press, at least compared to its 360 and pc versions, but I didn’t find anything anywhere near game breaking. So if you’re on the fence and PS3, just like me is your only option, don’t hesitate to still get it.

Have you ever played a Fallout game before? I played a quite a few hours of Fallout 1, and couldn’t find time to sink into Fallout 2 back then, and never got my hands on Fallout Tactics. But if you did, you should have a very good idea of what you expect out of this game. The game delivers very well in general.

For those that don’t know, Fallout is an RPG series set in post apocalyptic settings, with a 1950s view on what things would be like if there would have been a nuclear fallout, hence the name. Full review after the save point!
