It took a bit for today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase to get going, but I immediately latched onto OlliOlli World the moment it showed up. The next skateboarding game from Roll7 looks fantastic — and it's more ambitious than I would...

Man, Balan Wonderworld. I mean, once the demo hit a lot of people weren't super enthusiastic about its success. Even when Square Enix announced that there would be changes based on demo feedback,  folks weren't hopeful that they'd...

Naughty Dog, a studio seemingly locked into making Uncharted and The Last of Us releases until the end of time, has closed down internet hopes that it is secretly working on a new entry in fantasy franchise Jak & Daxter. The fevered fan...

While I may have sidelined Spelunky 2 after finally earning the "Master" trophy and deciding that I'd need to recuperate before earnestly attempting to reach the real final zone ("Awakened"), that doesn't mean I can't enjoy watching other p...

2020 was a kick-ass year for video games, I'm sure y'all would agree. But when it comes to the crunch, I don't there's any new release I played more than Easy Trigger Games' anarchic, explosive, kick-you-in-the-crotch-fantastic platform sho...

Metroid Prime is a classic. I don't think that's up for debate. It just is. Nintendo thinks so! Which is why they released it again years later in trilogy form on the Wii after its GameCube debut in 2002. But ever since that 2009 ...

Balan Wonderworld is out, and the reception has been...interesting, to say the least. While it's extremely clunky and has myriad design issues, I think most people will agree that the soundtrack rips. It feels like a true AAA score, with a ...

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is an excellent release. Toys for Bob have done a fantastic job in creating a sequel that lives up to the mad marsupial's roots while implementing smart design ideas for a modern generation of platform gam...

I'm not so burned out on indie action-platformers that I have to scroll past new ones that show up – at least not at the moment. I could see myself getting invested in Rising Hell, a heavy-metal "vertical platformer" about fighting th...
