They're pitching it as the Humble Saints Row Bundle, but with extra games like Mighty No. 9 and Killer is Dead, this is really more of a Deep Silver dealio. Which, hey, it worked. They got my attention. Pay $1 or more: Risen 3: Titan Lords...

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 different classe...

I've been hooked to Volition's Saints Row series ever since it underwent a major tonal reboot with Saints Row: The Third. The series may have been a victim of diminishing returns as of late -- you can only jump over the proverbial shar...

Daniel Dae Kim may be famous for his roles on Lost and Hawaii Five-O, but to me, he will always be Johnny Gat. His performance as the mad dog leader of the Saints in the Saints Row series has become so ubiquitous that I almost can't separat...

Like a good little zombie, Dead Island 2 refuses to stay down. You could be forgiven for thinking Dead Island 2 was one of those games that got quietly cancelled; Deep Silver hasn't said much about it since developer Yager was tak...

Agents of Mayhem must've slipped off my radar, but it's back on now. Gosh I hope this turns out well. Today's trailer better introduces three of the game's dozen playable characters: Hollywood, Fortune, and Hardtack, who you might recogniz...

Size is relative. That's the concept at the core of the magic of Micro Machines. Try to stick with me: Cars are usually big, but this time they're very small and that's fun. It sounds condescending but it's honestly not meant to be. There'...

In addition to the four extra characters and the free DLC levels coming to King of Fighters XIV, we're also getting new costumes -- and it looks like a decent amount of effort was put into them. The four that have been revealed by way of a...

Just a few days after the worldwide release, Persona 5 has moved over 1.5 million copies. For context, the only single Persona game that has reached over one million worldwide lifetime sales so far is Persona 4: Golden. Atlus added tha...

"I am private property, please step away." The high-pitched voice is emitting from a speaker lodged in a saucer-eyed, cartoon squid mascot for a fast-food sushi joint in Seoul, Korea. I am playing as Daisy, a roller derby skater with rockab...

When I was a kid, the Persona series was on the fringe of a niche. I had to be introduced to it on the original PlayStation by way of my cousin, who subsequently went on to show me Wild Arms and a few other classics. But after the resoundin...

The Metro franchise is one that publisher Deep Silver seems to care deeply about. For good reason, too. It's right alongside Saints Row in terms of its games that are consistently well-received. In some sense, Metro is almost a sure th...
