After a disappointing outing with Assassin’s Creed III, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is just what the tired series needed. Regardless of some gameplay issues that have been plaguing the series since its very beginning, Assassin’s Creed IV is an extremely fun refinement to the franchise. Black Flag opens with Edward Kenway, a pirate in search of […]

Rayman Legends Review
There are few games out there that can match Rayman Legends. It sets a new standard in charm and creativity, and it should positively be played by just about anyone with even the slightest interest in videogames. Picking up from where Rayman Origins left off, Legends takes everything one step above. It seems Rayman and […]
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist Review
Splinter Cell has always been in a continuing shift in tone and in gameplay. Double Agent introduced the concept that Sam Fisher isn’t always willing to be the good guy and Conviction showed that he’s pretty darn good at shoot outs. The latest entry in the series, Blacklist, attempts to appease fans on both sides […]
Entertainium Extra: 2DS announced, Wii U getting a price cut, and suspicious Ouya game Kickstarters
Hello, and welcome to Entertainium Extra! Our weekly news round-up feature highlighting some of the bigger, interesting, or just plain weird stories from the past week.

DuckTales Remastered Review
Ah, DuckTales. A huge part of some of the 1980s/early 1990s babies and certainly a part of mine. The videogame adaptation handled by Capcom for the NES is still considered by many one of the best platformers ever. Twenty something years later, it’s getting a high resolution remake, complete with voice acting from the original […]
A Look At: Runner 2’s Good Friends Character Pack
Most downloadable content is too miniscule to devote a complete review to. But sometimes we still want to highlight such an add-on or two. Thus, A Look At: a sort of mini-review/impressions piece or whatever term you prefer for when we wish to highlight DLC, general post-release updates for games (say, Monaco’s recent level editor), […]
E3 2013 – Super Mario 3D World Preview
If there’s anything that can be taken away from Nintendo’s showcase at E3 is that they like playing it safe. Established franchises are refreshed with new games, and even after years of re-inventions of an almost 30 year old gameplay formula and putting Mario in countless different styles of games, the series is still as […]
Entertainium at E3 2013
Entertainium is going to E3 2013. That announcement alone is enough to make me smile, not only because this is yet another opportunity for me to go to E3, but also because it’s our first time going there officially as Entertainium. What does that mean in terms of content? Well, fellow editors Callum Rakestraw and […]
Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien Review
Bit.Trip Presents… Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is the lost episode of the Bit.Trip series. It details the events that took place between Bit.Trip Runner and Bit.Trip Fate, wherein protagonist CommanderVideo is transported to another dimension – the third dimension. Yes, the series has moved to the present, discarding the endearing retro-aesthetic of […]
Retro City Rampage Review
After the dust subsided in the great video game crash of 1983, a new era arose from the ashes with the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. Gaming became cool. Everyone had an NES. Brothers and sisters played it together, friends came over to play, and even mom and dad played from time […]
