Dig Dig Dig!
This week the Weekly Time Waster is all about digging in and digging it. Terraria is the game that gets it done and it earns the Time Waster coveted 5 GiN gems award!
Wii Got Another Shooter
Although shooters on the Wii are rare, one series keeps plugging away at it with the release of Conduit 2. The campaign mode is a bit generic, but splitscreen multiplayer really saves its bacon.
A Treasure Trove of Fun
Seeing four blockbuster movies recreated as legos for the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean title is a real treat. The fact that it’s also a great game with fun for all ages is like icing on the cake.
Victory for the Indie Forces!
Naval Warfare is a game made by an independent studio that can give the big boys of this industry a run for their money. And a $10 price tag is absolutely incredible.
A Light Plot, But Fierce Fighting
Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy has some of the best, most beautiful fighting ever to be found on the PSP, but also a head scratching storyline that is outside the norm for Square Enix.
A Zentastic Experience
The UnderGarden lets you swim through an enchanted underwater world while you bathe in ripples of sound and colors. Oh yea, and solve puzzles along the way.
Indie Doesn’t Mean Easy!
And it flops in the worst possible way, by never even trying in the first place. Why anyone would waste their time with Fortix 2 is beyond our reviewer.
Not Quite Bringing It Home
For all the hype that surrounded this title, Homefront is remarkable only in the fact that it’s a completely average shooter, neither great nor terribly flawed. Overall, the game is fun but forgettable.
No Cop Out: LA Noire Is The Real Deal
LA Noire is probably the most anticipated game of the year so far, and for the most part it lives up to its billing, though a few plot holes and gameplay shortcomings drag down an otherwise perfect title.
Blast From the Past!
Join some old friends as they come together to save Princess Toadstool from the evil tyrant Bowser!
