Review: Line of Defense Tactics:
Real-time strategy is tough to do properly on tablets and smartphones. There are usually just too many components to juggle on a simple touchscreen interface. Just about the best way around this that we've seen in recent years

Review: Naughty Kitties
Review: Naughty Kitties:
The titular naughty kitties of Naughty Kitties aren't really naughty. They're noble, occasionally sleepy warriors who, rather than playing with wool and licking themselves all the time, hang off spaceships destroying robots.

Puzzle Defense: Dragons Review:
If two game genres ever deserved to be nominated for a "most over-used" designation, it's match-three and tower defense. Still, the shelf life of stale mechanics can often be extended a bit by creating unexpected combinations

Star Wars: The Old Republic - Galactic Starfighter Review
Star Wars: The Old Republic - Galactic Starfighter Review:
Star Wars: The Old Republic has been an ever-changing chameleon since its inception, continually trading off features and mechanics with its jump to free-to-play powerhouse and subsequent release of the feature-rich Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion. Even though the focus of each additional chunk of content has shifted, the sentiment remains the same: exploring the Star Wars universe in new and unique ways should make you feel like a badass. Galactic Starfighter endeavors to make you feel just that, strapping you into the cockpit of your very own strike fighter and thrusting you into battle. If running down Sith fighters while engaging your turbo engines in a hail of blaster fire sounds like your idea of a party, this meaty experience is tailor-made for you.

Loadout Review
Loadout Review:
My first moments of Loadout could not have been more perfect. Entering a match, I found myself in a circle of players, made up of allies and opponents alike, staring each other down. As a disembodied voice began a five-second countdown, I quickly pieced together what would happen after it reached zero. The gruff, barbaric-looking horde that surrounded me equipped their preferred weapons, and as the timer stopped, there was a split second of deafening silence before the scene erupted in neon lasers, explosions, and showering viscera. This, in a nutshell, is Loadout at its finest, a game of occasional humor, immense violence, and things that go bang.
