Fallout Shelter is out today on Steam

Free, of course WhileFallout Shelteris a good free-to-play game, it didn’t hold my interest as long as other similar projects did. You can take the plunge and see for yourself on Steam today if you want, if you didn’t already play it on iOS, Android, or Xbox One. Pretty much every aspect is the same, including the microtransactions.

Final Fantasy VI x Lucky Star = WTF?

For those here not as hip asthese kids, you’ll just have to take our word that the animeLucky Staris huge in Japan. The show about four high school girls that do nothing in particular is strangely addicting, and the show’s opening theme song, “Motteke! Serafuku”, topped the Japanese sales charts when it was finally released on CD. The animated dance featured in the show’s opening is still being performed in the streets and at conventions, and fan videos continue to pour out of Japan....

This week’s forgotten game is a very, very special one. If you grew up in the early 90’s, as I did, then the showNick Arcadeshould be more than familiar to you. It wasGUTSfor nonathletic kids, it was a huge marketing ploy for certain video game developers, and it had what — at the time — seemed like the coolest final challenge on television.

Hands on: Full Metal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy

Being a fan of the anime, I admit, I did soil my pants when I first heard aboutFull Metal Alchemist: Dual Sympathyfor the DS about one and half years ago. The information available on the game at the time, although scant, was promising. I believe the DS is a device with layers upon layers of (yet) untapped potential, and a game based on a franchise that relies so heavily on drawing (alchemy circles) sounded like something that would benefit from the DS’s unique capabilities....
