Sine Mora is a side scrolling shoot'em up title that borrows heavily from past titles in the genre such as the cult classic Einhander. The premise involves war torn characters battling a bigger threat as you shoot down enemies and gigantic bosses in your little plane. Although at its core it's a shoot'em up game, the title makes heavy use of time travel and time altering mechanics in both its gameplay and story which creates a strong interaction between the two elements.

Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony Review
You know that point in history when we discovered America then fought in the Interstellar War? Yeah, that was pretty cool. Developers Final Form Games have created a colorful recreation of that war and named it Jamestown. Based upon the British colony of the same name, "Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony" is a steampunk styled vertical shoot'em up that gives plenty of variety while offering a very tough experience that will keep fans of the franchise busy for a while.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 Review
I'm sure that we've seen our share of parodies of the game industry. But in NIS's new game Hyperdimention Neptuna Mk.2, the developer goes one step further and turns the industry into a parody world that has participating companies represented as cute moe girls. Are video game companies in the form of anime girls a good itdea for a game or is NIS just taking advantage of otaku by just filling the game with cute moe girls?

Anomaly: Warzone Earth Review
Anomaly: Warzone Earth takes the concept of tower defense and flips it upside down, putting the player in charge of the offensive force. Does it have what it takes to carve out a niche in this saturated genre?

Dustforce Review
In the PC title Dustforce by Hitbox Team it's up to you to clean up the world...make that four worlds. Specifically, a Forest, Mansion, City and Laboratory. The dirt and flith is so bad that it's starting to put up a fight and it's up to you to fight back as one of four super-parkor hopping janitors. You use various skills including leaps, air jumps, dashes, and combo attacks to clean as much of the world as you can with as much finesse as possible.

Defenders of Ardania Review
The Tower Defense genre is perhaps one of the more saturated in gaming at the moment. Because of this, if a game wants to stand out from the rest of the pack, it has to do something a little different. Defenders of Ardania does this by attempting something so simple that it’s frankly amazing it hasn’t caught on more: it gives you the chance to attack your enemy.

Tales of Graces F Review
After seeing a resounding demand for a localization of Tales of Graces F from fans in the West, Namco Bandai happily obliged and released the game. Was it worth the wait, or has Namco wasted their time on a niche title that might get lost in the sea of games coming out this Q1?
