I've been playing with Red Hood off and on for the past few weeks since his release and he's... odd. I still can't figure him out. I can't tell if he's an amazing character, or a dud. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be played like a zoner, a rushdown monster, or something in-between.
And that makes me pretty excited for the future of Injustice 2's DLC characters. read

Micro Machines World Series wants to be Overwatch. It's an odd fit for a top-down racer to draw inspiration from a hero shooter, but that's what World Series does. The influence is immediately apparent -- from the d... read

It's a new day and a new colony. My duplicants, dead-eyed and bushy-tailed, eagerly dig out rock with abandon in every direction. Beds are placed, power is created, and research is done. Things are looking up!

What Binding of Isaac does for The Legend of Zelda, GoNNER comes pretty darn close to doing for Metroid. Like Metroid, it's largely about stumbling upon bizarre new creatures. Some can be peacefully avoided, others require ha... read

Crash always marched to the beat of a different drum -- but unlike Bubsy, his drum wasn't loaded with explosives, Keith Moon style. He rose above the drove of mascot platformers and literally clawed his way up to stardom. For a bit.
Now Crash is very much a relic of the past, a property that Activision parades out every so often to remind us that he exists. Until this week. read

I've been constantly thinking about Dragon Ball FighterZ ever since its E3 reveal. Arc System Works has found the perfect property to show off their engine, and I'm hoping it's going to be a great experience for Dragon Ball a... read

My PlayStation VR hasn't gotten much use as of late and after hearing people talk up Arizona Sunshine on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, I was eager to put my name down to review this week's PSVR port.
I was maybe expecting a bit too much. read

Gladiolus got his due with his own Final Fantasy XV DLC a few months back, and we all kind of stumbled through it.
Coasting by on the fumes of XV's core mechanics, the idea of witnessing a brief gaiden that ultimately ended up lacking an impact on the narrative just didn't feel like add-on material. Prompto's gun-fever lore-heavy mission in an arctic sandbox though? A little more so. read

It's always strange to see a successful series come and go.
It happens in every medium -- a bright new talent swoops in, drops a masterpiece, then the IP holder struggles to monetize it. Sometimes individual works of art were... read

The internet, full of opinion-havers and never-be-wrongs, had a lot of steadfast thoughts about E3 2017. They ranged from "It was very good" to "It was very bad," with some "It was okay" and "It was not great" peppered in the... read

Housemarque combined Robotron: 2084 with Resogun. The end result, Nex Machina, is sublime.
After spending some more time with the human-saving, robot-blasting arcade shooter following my review-in-progress, I'm ready to call this one. It's arguably the studio's best work yet. read
