New Game: Rise and Shine Mixes Alien Hominid and Metal Slug to Create New Game
July 13th, 2014 Carl Williams Just from the title alone you can tell there are some pretty big shoes to fill with this game called Rise & Shine. Just watch the video for a bit of a level that showcases a lot of different play mechanics mixed together. It is interesting to say the least.

GBA Platforming Underdogs Six Pack
June 15th, 2014 Carl Williams This post was originally made available on Gaming on Nintendo on July 7th, 2013: The premise for this article is that it could not be a huge movie success license, made by Nintendo (so no Mario/Wario/Kirby/Donkey Kong/Metroid) and it had to be a 2D side scroller that was pretty much ignored on the shelves.
