Review Round-Up – 10/28/12

I HAVE THE POWERRRRRRRR!!! …to show you the latest stuff I’ve been reviewing, and part of why there hasn’t been more original content in this space.

From Slide to Play:

He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe – He-Man is back, and he’s brought all of his fabulous secret powers and friends with him!

Stupid Zombies 2 – There are too many zombie games, true, but if we needed to start burning them for fuel, I’d definitely put this one aside.

Kumo Lumo – It’s hard to believe a game like this didn’t come from Japan. I mean, the cloud has eyes and everything!

Pocket Climber – No, it’s not innuendo; it’s parkour, minus the running.

Cartoon Wars – If the characters in xkcd went to war, it would probably look a little something like this.

Blade Guardian – Further proof that Mistwalker needs to stick to what they know.

Dead Stop – Imagine if Doc Brown was the one in charge of stopping zombies from invading, and you were Marty McFly…

Shufflepuck Cantina – A great idea for an air hockey game which doesn’t seem to play as well as its inspiration.

From Gamezebo:

Space Tanks – Visually pleasing, but mentally braindead (in terms of AI, anyway).

Oh! Sheep – Just flocking around with multicolored sheep and a mad scientist. Very strange.

Grow Away – “Hey guys, all these angry animals are coming here to eat us! What should we do?” “Let’s fling ourselves at them! That will surely drive them away!” “Brilliant!”

Stunt Star: The Hollywood Years – No one said that making it big in showbiz would be easy… or without irritation.

Indestructible – Think Twisted Metal, but top-down and with a greater need to buy things.

GridBlock – It’s like a board game for your iPhone. Not like a Monopoly, but more like Operation or Perfection. You know, the physical stuff.

From Mario’s Hat:

Fractured Soul – How good are you at being in two places at once?

Double Dragon Neon – Not only is Double Dragon back, but they’ve brought the 80’s with them! Bodacious!

Kirby’s Dream Collection: Special Edition – If Super Mario All-Stars: Limited Edition made you wary of Nintendo’s ability to create a game collection, this will renew your faith.

NightSky – A calm yet engaging journey through the night; definitely worth a look.

That’s all for now, and as always, you can keep up with my Slide to Play reviews here, my Gamezebo reviews here, and my Mario’s Hat reviews here.
