EVO 2017 also proved to be full of surprises — some, not so much surprises, but confirmation of previously leaked announcements — in terms of news relating to fighting games. Most of these were delivered in between grand finals on Sunday. Here’s a rundown of all the news that came out of Las Vegas this weekend… […]

And that was EVO 2017!
It was terrific weekend for videogame fans for sure. The curtains have closed, and Evolution 2017 is finally over. For three packed days, competitors from all over the globe duked it out, with only a few making it out for the grand finals that not took place yesterday over at the Mandalay Bay Arena, but […]
EVO, the biggest fighting game tournament in the world, begins today!
Saying that EVO is the world’s biggest fighting game tournament might be an understatement. What began as “Battle of the Bay” in Sunnyvale, CA in 1996 with a meager forty-person bracket for Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Street Fighter II Turbo eventually moved to much bigger venues in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it’s been held ever since, […]
E3 2016: EA Sports Showcase Roundup – Kicking and hitting things really hard
In a surprising bit of news at the beginning of the year, Electronic Arts announced that they would not be part of E3 this year. The plan was to host an off-site event instead, right next door to the show proper, in downtown Los Angeles. EA Sports was there in full force, with a trio […]
The Walking Dead: Michonne Episode 3 – What We Deserve Review – Middling Results
For better or for worse, Telltale’s first regularly scheduled miniseries The Walking Dead: Michonne has been a familiar experience to just about anyone who’s played, seen or read anything set in the world of the giant multimedia franchise that The Walking Dead is. At the end of episode two, the shit was about to hit the […]
The Walking Dead: Michonne Episode 2: Give No Shelter Review – Ain’t no heaven up there, honey
Michonne’s foray in Telltale’s The Walking Dead games felt like it had a rocky start in episode one. Given their experience with working with established characters in their previous series, like Game of Thrones and Back to the Future, it would seem that they’d nail making such a fan favorite character like Michonne into very compelling protagonist. For better […]
The Walking Dead: Michonne Episode 1: In Too Deep Review – You’ve got a name people remember
Although it doesn’t stray from Telltale’s usual M.O, The Walking Dead: Michonne‘s first episode delivers the starting bits of what could turn out to be great development for one of the comic book and TV show’s most beloved characters. Including established characters in a companion piece of media is always a shaky proposal for any popular franchise. It’s […]
E3 2015 – Remember that time Gandalf drove the Delorean across the yellow brick road? Yeah, LEGO Dimensions
Out of the many games we got to see at E3 2015, the one I took the most for granted was LEGO Dimensions. Surely it would be yet another Skylanders-styled collectible figurine game, but this time with a LEGO license tied to it, right? To my surprise, LEGO Dimensions didn’t feel like just another rehash of the same […]
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Review
The LEGO games have been enthralling gamers for years, with their addictive mix of collectability and puzzle based platforming, capturing some of the most successful franchises in media history, such as Lord of the Rings, Marvel Super Heroes, and Star Wars. Traveler’s Tales newest entry in the canon of buildable worlds is LEGO Batman 3: […]
Resident Evil HD Remaster Review
For as much as we can say about high definition re-releases of video games over the last few years, for how easy a cash-in they can be or giving out judgment in regards to their quality, there’s one fact that can’t be denied: a great game from years ago can still be a great game […]
