Theres an increasingly noisey debate about what makes a game a game, with the likes of Proteus offering very little in regards to interactive elements and titles like Phoenix Wright focusing on character interaction, the past 10 years in videogames have really branched out and genuinely challenged what it is that makes us put something […]

bitparade: Surge Deluxe (Vita)
Surge Deluxe, an update of PlayStation Mobile title Surge, is a “Match-3” puzzle game from Velocity Ultra developers Futurlab. The basic premise of the game is to connect 2 or more coloured blocks in order to eventually clear each screen and move on to the next one, all with under the pressure of being on […]
bitparade: TxK (Vita)
Jeff Minter is, apparently, an easy developer to criticise. Whilst its all fine for one guy to dedicate the majority of their career to one particular series of games, it doesn’t seem to be okay for another guy to do the same in regards to trying to perfect the same game over a large space […]
bitparade: Senran Kagura Burst (Nintendo 3DS)
Some will say its brave that Marvelous Entertainment are brave to release Senran Kagura Burst, a game that features rather top heavy female Japanese high-school Shinobi with Dead or Alive-esque physics and a focus on panty shots, during a time when Western gaming culture is so heavily focused on the lack of female characters that […]
bitparade: Talisman (PC)
Now I must admit, I used to see virtual versions of popular board games on the PC and on consoles way back when I was a teenager and think that they were all pretty pointless, I couldn’t really understand who would buy them, anyone I knew who would play Monopoly, for example, would do so […]
bitparade: Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God (Vita)
Every so often a game comes along that kind of makes you blink and wonder just what the hell is going on. Sorcery Saga: The Curse of the Great Curry God is exactly that type of game. Genre-wise its kind of dificult to pigeon-hole, some will label it a JRPG, others a Dungeon Crawler and […]
bitparade: Final Fantasy X HD Remaster (Vita)
Before we go any further, I’ve decided to split our review of Fial Fantasy X\X-2 HD Remaster into two seperate articles, with this one covering Final Fantasy X and a later one covering Final Fantasy X-2, this is purely because of the size of the two titles that are included as this re-release of one […]
bitparade: Luftrausers (Vita)
Theres some kind of romance attached to the dog fighting pilots of the Second World War, lines are drawn in sand, the British were brave, tea drinking sorts who piloted their Spitfires with great skill, the Americans were incredibly patriotic and gung-ho, the Germans evil calculating and incredibly accurate whilst the Japanese would do anything […]
bitparade: Football Manager Classic 2014 (Vita)
Sports Interactive have tried on several occassions to shift their hugely popular and ridiculously addictive Football Manager titles to systems other than the PC. They’ve seen some success in adapting the system to iDevices in recent years and now its the turn of Sony’s PlayStation Vita. On the surface it really does seem like a […]
bitparade: NASCAR ’14 (PlayStation 3)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your engines! Or so says SEGA’s Arcade classic “Daytona USA”. However, whilst this isn’t the high adrenaline cabinet racer featuring the “Sonic Turn” our story does start at the infamous circuit in California. For this I decided to dig out my old “Beer Hat”, bought from the Gadget Shop over a […]
