While we’ve seen this formula before, Eldest Souls is absolutely worthwhile thanks to its incredible combat mechanics and awesome presentation.

Reviewed on Xbox One There’s something great about a game that knows exactly what it is. Freedom Finger from Wide Right Games is a 2D arcade shoot ‘em up that takes cues from R-Type and Gradius. That said, it’s more than just a game inspired by classic space shooters. It’s also a funny, irreverent, foul-mouthed adventure that would feel right […]

Reviewed on PlayStation 4 Dead Cells is a beautiful game. It looks great. It sounds great. It plays great. Hell, playing it makes you feel great, too. Beauty aside, Dead Cells is also a vicious game, brutal to its very core and unrelenting. And yet, somehow, even despite its dastardly tactics, the game is welcoming — so much so that […]

Reviewed on PlayStation 4 Earthfall is a fun game. Earthfall is also a flawed game. It conjures up those fun vibes of cooperative games like Killing Floor 2 and Left 4 Dead, where the goal is to squad up with friends and survive against an onslaught of zombies. Well, they’re aliens in Earthfall, but whatever — they might as well […]

Reviewed on PlayStation 4 Sonic Mania is one of the greatest Sonic the Hedgehog games of all time. That is, without a doubt, a fact. When the game launched last year, it brought a lot of positive attention back to the titular blue hedgehog. Now the game’s received a few noteworthy updates. Title Sonic Mania Plus, this enhanced edition is […]

Reviewed on PlayStation 4 I’m trying to figure out exactly why a Red Faction: Guerrilla remaster exists. Sure, the game was kind of underrated when it launched in 2009, but even then, it was pretty clunky and had a few issues. Unless this is leading up to a sequel or reboot, the game’s re-release raises a few questions. But you […]

If you played Rage from id Software back in 2011, it’s highly likely you fell into one of two categories. Either you liked the game and thought it was a fun shooter from a dev team that excels at making good shooters, or you were vastly disappointed that this wasn’t id’s take on the Borderlands formula. I leaned more toward […]

One of the staples of Lovecraftian horror is the deliberate pace in which a story is told. People sometimes forget that, much like Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft took his time when developing a narrative. In keeping with the style of Lovecraft, developer Cyanide is currently working on the deliberately paced, narrative-driven Call of Cthulhu. Based on a recent behind-closed-doors […]

When A Pixel Story launched last year on PC, review scores were all over the place. The game received just about as many high marks as it did average reviews and low scores. Here we are one year later, and the indie project from Lamplight Studios is now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It’s a fine addition to […]

The folks over at Digital Foundry have put together a comparison video of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Sniper Elite 3. The video, which shows side-by-side shots of both versions in action, has already caused much debate. Ultimately, however, the PlayStation 4 edition wins out. If you take the time to study both versions of Sniper Elite […]

“Make peace before I turn you into pieces.” That one line right there should pretty much be the factor by which you decide whether or not Shadow Warrior is something you need in your life. In case this is a game you want to be a part of your journey to death, you’ll be glad to know that it’s coming […]

If you’ve been keeping up with The Wolf Among Us, you’ll be glad to know that the finale is upon us. Due out next week, Telltale Games will put out the fifth episode of  its latest endeavor for the masses to sink their teeth into. Titled The Wolf Among Us Episode 5: Cry Wolf, the last chapter will be available […]

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel wasn’t the only thing 2K Games was showcasing at this year’s E3. Another shooter on the company’s priorities list was Evolve from Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock Studios. The four-on-one multiplayer shooter switches things up by teaming four players together to take on a lone wolf who takes on the role of the boss. It’s a […]

Speaking of delays, you can now add The Evil Within to the list of anticipated games that have just recently been pushed back. Thankfully, this one’s a fairly short delay. Rather than hitting consoles and PC this August, the project from Bethesda Softworks and developer Tango Gameworks will be arriving to North America on October 21. That means we’ll potentially […]

The upcoming Bethesda-published survival horror game from Shinji Mikami and developer Tango Gameworks recently got a new trailer in time for PAX East. As expected, it’s quite horrific and super creepy. More than anything, though, it’s incredibly surreal. The whole thing looks like an absolute nightmare, which is actually good news considering it all makes for a really interesting trailer. […]

Following an unexpected delay, Ubisoft’s latest franchise Watch Dogs is now set to debut on May 27. Speaking on the Ubisoft blog, Senior Producer Dominic Guay explained exactly what the reason was for pushing the debut game back.
