  • News Pokémon GO Global Rollout Delayed While Niantic Fixes Server Woes

    "We thought the game would be popular, but it obviously struck a nerve"

    Pokémon GO developer Niantic has paused the international rollout of the game following performance and server issues. The monster-catching AR download went live in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and North America this week, and despite topping the iOS App Store and

  • Review Infinite Dunamis (3DS eShop)

    Infinitely Decent

    Kemco has found a comfortable niche on the eShop; over the past few years, the publisher has been steadily putting out budget JRPGs ported from mobile, from Grinsia to Justice Chronicles. They vary in quality, but their mission remains the same: to provide low-priced, nostalgia-tinged JRPG goodness. As the latest in the lineup,...

  • Video Take a Look at Nintendo's First Ever Console - The Color TV Game 6

What do you get when you combine the two? Emojikara, the name of a game that is anything but powerful (or clever, as the title would lead you to believe). While the...

  • Video The Story of Cel Damage 2, The Car Racing / Combat Title That Got Blown Off Track

    It hit the wrong gear

    Some GameCube owners may remember Cel Damage, a car racing / combat game that was also on Xbox and, eventually, PS2. Developed by Pseudo Interactive and published by EA, it had a mixed critical reception due to its rather unique blend of car racing and battling, though its visual style was certainly eye-catching. There was a...
