The Pocket Gamer Silver Award-winning Siege Hero has received a new sequel this week in the form of Siege Hero Wizards. This high-fantasy, low-investment physics puzzle game might look like a first-person version of Angry Birds but don't say that too loudly around developer Armor Games. Its Crush the Castle - which features gameplay rather similar to Rovio's flagship game – beat Angry Birds to ...

GamesRadar - Playing a modernized version of Sega's Castle of Illusion makes it difficult to believe that it was formerly a Genesis title. And that's a great thing for a remake to do--to feel like a unique product while simultaneously honoring the source material. This new Castle of Illusion is vivid and charming in ways that the original wasn't. It also preserves the game's severe brevity and adds a few new mechanical issues of its own, which is not as endearing, but it's generally an enjoyable platformer nonetheless.

GamesRadar - The original 1990 Castle of Illusion is considered a classic, probably because everybody who had a Mega Drive or Genesis either owned it or knew someone who owned it. But it aged very quickly. By the time Sonic 2 was out in 1992, loading up Castle of Illusion was laughable. It had ideas, certainly, but they were hamstrung by a predictably weak early grasp of the hardware. However, underneath the creaky implementation, the concept was pure gold. In fact, the make-believe world and the characters within it were so good, it's only now, 23 years later, that a modern-day redux has finally delivered the real Castle of Illusion.
