With a wide array of memorable music, adorable characters, and easy to pick up and play gameplay, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call strikes the perfect chord between accessibility and challenge in a genre where complexity and uneven difficulty too often dictate the tempo. “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They…
2014 has seen its share of high definition remakes. Although most of these re-releases are ultimately unnecessary, there’s something to be said about The Last of Us Remastered. Released around the one year mark of the original Playstation 3 release, Remastered takes the base game and all of its season pass content that includes the…
Games are a powerful medium. Like a good book or thrilling movie, they can make you feel incredible at times, but given care, there are times when they bring about feelings like nothing else. The Swapper, for instance, makes you feel like a genius every time you manage to find a solution to one of…
The name Spintires doesn’t offer a whole lot of confidence right off the grid. It’s extremely bland and doesn’t say anything other than the most basic thing that a road vehicle does. So when you boot up a game with this sort of name, expectations start off very low, and in most cases, you meet…
There’s no point in sugar-coating this review. Episode four of the current season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead is one hell of a ride. It’s tightly packed in a three hour blow to blow action block that not only ramps up the tension to even higher levels, after the already insane events of the previous…

It’s part of a horror game revival movement that includes many similarly looking titles already, trying to stand out by offering an apparently…
There’s a certain sense of accomplishment when you manage to finish a level in Trials Fusion without any faults. While it’s easy to breeze through the initial chunk of stages, it doesn’t take long before you are hitting the ‘redo’ button over and over again, all the while, your poor on screen rider repeatedly falls…
Umihare Kawase is one of Japan’s hidden gems in videogaming. It isn’t anything particularly special at first look. It’s a series of games that involve a swinging mechanic much akin to Bionic Commando, set on the dreamy backdrop of a young girl’s imagination. After years of relative success in many generations of consoles in Japan,…
It’s become easy to throw around the moniker “the best episode ever” for Telltale’s seasonal adventure games over the past few years. Outside of an exception or two, their work has seen a continuing string of improvements and quality through each of their titles. Between The Wolf Among Us‘ excellent approach to noir and The…
