I finished Bastion for the second time and felt a little something. It's not like envy, or even hungry. A little flutter, a little smile. Let's call it love.

Here's a review of Monster Tale on the DS. Or the 3DS if you like ... you can pretend this is a 3DS game if that would make you feel better, just like all the other games you've bought to play on it. Monster Tale is a mini-Castlevania with some branching-path monster evolution thrown in there, what more could a man possibly desire?

Solve a crime, shoot a man, do a chase. It's L.A. in the 40s, you're a detective. Crouch over a naked body for an hour, who's to say it's not police work? I'm a cop you idiot! Hey what size are your feet?

(... it just ain't your story) They let me out of prison so I can talk about games. Again! When will they ever learn? So I thought I'd write about something all the cool kids stopped discussing months ago. Come, come and play with me in the dusty ruts of the long-departed bandwagon's tracks. I found a woodlouse!

I know sales of Dragon Age 2 have been ailing because you're all waiting for this review before you make your decisions. That's a long sentence! No more of those inside - it's just pictures of me making faces at the case.

Alan Wake is my abusive husband. Our marriage started out well and I was really enjoying myself when horrible things started happening - terrible, tedious, painful things, and I wanted to escape. But every time I'd packed my bags and was about to move away he'd lure me back in with grand gestures and shiny things. Even when I was finally finished with it all he sent me flowers and left me thinking that maybe I could go back ... maybe this time it will be different. Maybe he's changed.

Hey stranger. What are you buying? Is it a DS game? Is it
this DS game? Why won't you answer me? I miss you. 999 is a classy story-puzzler which slides nicely in alongside platform favourites like Hotel Dusk and the Phoenix Wright series. With interesting gameplay and at least a decent stab at a denser, slightly more grown-up narrative, it also carries enough freshness to keep it from becoming just some handheld also-ran.

You may or, more likely, may not have heard about the Winter Uprising, a plan to edge out the embarrassingly awful shovelware that haunts XBLA by releasing a bunch of quality titles in quick succession. This was (in my mind at least) to be figureheaded by Cthulhu Saves the World, the follow-up to
Breath of Death VII, but it still hasn't been released. Luckily there was at least one other thing that caught my eye in the line-up - Epic Dungeon.

Wisely ducking out of a fight with Duke Nukem Forever for title of "Longest Time Spent In Development",
Gran Turismo 5 was finally released this December to pretty much Universal acclaim. Here's our take on one of the biggest gaming launches of 2010.
