Reviews of Shadow Complex, Little King's Story and more.

Little King's Story provides an adorable grind to world domination while Shadow Complex and Wolfenstein takes old ideas and adds a new coat of paint. Check out gameplay reviews, footage and more!

------------------------------

Drawing obvious inspiration from games like Metroid and Castlevania, it's debated whether Shadow Complex is an homage or rip-off. David Ellis and Dan Hsu came by to discuss with Matt and Cesar that while this revamped side-scroller may feel familiar, it's scope and gameplay make it one of the best downloadable games of the year.

We also tread familiar waters to check out Wolfenstein RPG for the iPhone. Does shooting Nazi's (in the standard forms of, soldiers, zombies, and skeletons) in corridors blend well with role-playing elements? Ryan and Cesar take a break from laundry to discuss.

Matt's been taking over the world one territory at a time in Little King's Story for weeks. This Pikmin-like adventure looked simple at first but ended up spanning over dozens of hours of invading, building, and decorating in service of building a new kingdom. Anthony Gallegos and Alice Liang join Matt to chat about whether the task ended up being more than they bargained for.

I just remembered that I've seen someone wearing that EXACT tacky Soul Calibur shirt before (I think it was at the County Annex). I remember thinking how terrible it was.
