The Messenger plays with game design conventions in exciting ways
It is easy to understand why the team behind The Messenger was so reluctant to show the 8-bit/16-bit environment mechanics in the trailers. It’s a very well executed twist: you travel through time and this is represented by an aesthetic evolution between two gaming generations. That’s not exactly a new idea — 2007’s Super Paper…
Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition Review
“Because I could not stop for death, he kindly stopped for me.” The first line from a lyrical poem written by Emily Dickinson may sum up the final battle from the recently released Reaper of Souls expansion, far more elegantly and with outstanding accuracy, given that it was first published in 1890. In truth, Diablo III’s journey…
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a bittersweet piece of dumb fun
If you can ignore the really poor storytelling and the fact this new version of Lara Croft flings the previous games’ character development out the freaking window, Shadow of the Tomb Raider can be widely enjoyed as the closest to a proper old-school Tomb Raider the reboot series has ever been.

Inversus Review – Black and white
Inversus has all the qualities of a good local multiplayer game. It’s easy to learn, the matches are quick, and it has a fair amount of depth. It even has online play, a rarity for games like this, as well as a solid single-player mode. As far as feature sets go, Inversus pretty well-rounded. But…
Review: Hot Wheels Unleashed is better than it has any right to be
Hot Wheels Unleashed might be extremely simple, but it’s got plenty to keep you busy if you’re looking for a fun arcade racer.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey doesn’t stray from Origins’ formula, and I’m okay with that
Assassin’s Creed Origins was a refreshing take on Assassin’s Creed last year, and if the demo I’ve played at E3 is any indication, it looks like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will keep that streak going. Picking up about four hundred years before Origins, around 431 BC, Odyssey is currently the earliest Assassin’s Creed has ever gotten…
Review: Gradius Origins is powered up by the inclusion of the excellent Salamander 3
Salamander 3 is reason enough to get Gradius Origins, and the rest of the games on the list are also well worth sticking around for.
