Rocksteady has finally put the conundrum they themselves created to bed. Their new Batman game, Arkham Knight, proves that there can be too many Batman games. Granted, they have been on a steady decline quality-wise ever since the original, fantastic Arkham Asylum, but the series is far from being considered anything remotely close to bad….
The key to a good local multiplayer game is simplicity. The easier it is to pick up and play, the better. Almost all local multiplayer games understand this, but some embody that quality better than others. Cosmic Kites from Fishmoose Interactive understands it well.

That is certainly a little ironic, since I’m such a huge fan of the Knight of the Old Republic games, which play pretty…
Capcom’s new celestial mix of various gaming genres is a sure hit as Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess shows in spades.
Don’t be fooled by the apparently obvious, Cathedral is more than a copycat to that other medieval themed game you might’ve played before.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance made for an impressive display at E3 2016 during my time with the folks from Warhorse on the very last official appointment of the show.
