OlliOlli Two for One on Nintendo Platforms-Review

While PS and Xbox owners are grinding with OlliOlli2, Nintendo owners can't go wrong with a buy-one-get-one-free deal going on for the original OlliOlli, giving you both the 3DS and Wii U editions of the game when you purchase one of them. The series is steady enough that you can get plenty of fun out of the original if this is your first chance at playing the games, but which console will be your favorite? Ryan Johnson from The Gamers Lounge got to review both editions, and gives you his opinion of which Nintendo console should be your go-to for this twitch skateboarding game.

Shiftlings Review (PS4)

Shiftlings is a new digital game that places you in charge of a couple of aliens tasked with fixing things. Little do they know that they are the stars of a highly popular TV show, and a happy accident with a bottle of cola results in a strangely comedic play mechanic that has you (with a friend, if you desire) to think your way from Point A to Point B.

It may even improve on the formula, making it something to actually boot up more than the one time. Read in for a full review.

Titan Attacks! the 3DS

Titan Attacks received a glowing review when it came through The Gamer's Lounge for the full Sony cross-buy situation. Now, it finds a home on the 3DS. Does the twitch gameplay and fast action make for a fun 3DS title? Ryan Johnson at The Gamer's Lounge found a few flaws in this version, but that's not to say it's without any merit.

Dying Light Review

Dying Light takes a genre--zombie apocalypse--and turns it on it's head. Much like the duality of the day/night cycle, the game manages to take a stagnant genre and inject it with new by simply harkening back to the old. By borrowing from several modern classics outside of it's own genre, Dying Light manages to bring together a fun game. While not without it's faults, Dying Light will have you feeling the classic terror of survival horror as you pray for sunup.

Citizens of Earth Review

Citizens of Earth! The Vice President of the Earth needs your help! A quirky new RPG that honors classic gameplay tropes from games like Earthbound and Pokemon has just arisen. Instead of the stereotypical grizzled war heroes, you control a VP who doesn't want to get his hands dirty, so he enlists the general populace who use their own talents to take down evil.

Sneaky Sneaky Slips onto iOS Platforms

Sneaky Sneaky is currently available for $2.99 on the iOS App Store. A neat mix of Final Fantasy RPGness, Metal Gear Soliton Radar scoping, and Zelda-esque graphics, it looks to steal your heart as it fills it's wallet. With the new release on mobile devices, does it make it more approachable, or do the mobile adaptations shove all the ugly bits out into the limelight? Ryan Johnson puts his two cents in (so long as they don't get stolen before you read them).

I've Got to Run: Complete Edition Review

A few months ago, I got a copy of the original I've Got to Run for the Wii U to review. While I didn't see much in terms of overall excitement, it became a recommended purchase due to the overall cheap price and the fact that it hooked my son more than Mario Kart 8 for a while. The game's "Complete Edition" now heads to the Wii U's handheld sibling, albeit at a higher price point. It it worth your time to hop along the kitchen counters again?

Anomaly 2 (PS4) Review

I've been around strategy games long enough to have dreamed of a game similar to Anomaly. Tower Defense have often disappointed me: in the end, you're fortifying yourself in one spot to hope that nobody can get through your defenses. 11 bit studio's change up to a "Tower Offense" has taken the genre by storm, and now Anomaly 2 makes it's way onto the PlayStation 4.
