I have a weakness in my heart for side-scrollers. Trine definitely plays on the nostalgia card by taking three unsuspecting heroes with their own skill sets to have them solve physics puzzles to stop the advance of an undead army in this "2.5d" adventure

One of the most revered RPGs of this generation finally comes to the PS3 with new content in the form of additional quests, music, and characters. I missed the game the first time it came around on the Xbox 360 last year, but I'm sure glad that Namco Bandai Games decided to release Eternal Sonata on the PS3, giving PS3 owners the chance to play this rather charming RPG.

  Aside from the many puzzle games I’ve played over my yearsas a gamer, Pipe Dream has a longhistory with me as being a highly addictive experience. Whether it was playedon the Microsoft entertainment packs or on SesameStreet ABC’s 123’s, I used to love the game. And, this long history is alsoa testament to the skills that I have while playing the game (and many gamesfrom the puzzle game genre). The gameplay just comes natural to me and I lovethem dearly.  

When your retired father's paradise island is under duress from environmentally unfriendly people, it's up to you, his son (or daughter) to grab your pipe wrench and get busy. This is the basic story behind Pipe Mania, a new game by Empire Interactive based off an old puzzler they released in 1989 named Pipe Dreams.

 In 1985, Capcom released Commando, followed sometime later by a sequel known as Mercs. Both of these old school games featured Rambo like characters that were likely inspired by Hollywood figures of time, and both games led players through short, but satisfying all out blastfests. Recently, Capcom released Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 for consumption on the PSN and XBLA. For $10, you can choose from one of three characters and take it to the enemy across five terrains. Each version also supports online and local play with up to two other players. As typical of these older shooter games, Commando 3 is short, but still a blast with friends.
