A Blissful Purgatory – Divinity: Original Sin Review

Divinity: Original Sin is a title that seems to speak to a certain kind of player. The gameplay requires experience, and to get the most out of it means having the patience of a stone and the wits of a chess master. It’s not a combination for the faint

A nice straw hat, but a little loose- One Piece: Unlimited World Red review

Right off the bat, I’ll tell you that One Piece: Unlimited World Red isn’t a terrible game. It isn’t even a bad game. At its worst, Unlimited World Red is mediocre, not doing much in any direction to sway it into a particularly positive or negative light.

Still meching to its own beat – Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn review

Koei’s Warriors franchise is a lot like the Hostess Cakes of videogames. Sure they aren’t particularly good and just different versions of the same thing, but when you have a taste for one just nothing else will do. Whether or not you’re a fan or a critic

A party of pinballs – Rollers of the Realm first look

I’ve never liked pinball. Sure, I’ve had the odd game or two decades ago when I was 3 feet tall and needed something to do in the local Laundromat while my mom washed the clothes. But generally speaking, the frustrations of pinball always outweighed the joy for me.

The brightest knight– Batman: Arkham Knight preview

Anyone who’s played the Arkham games is intimately familiar with their formula for bringing the Batman experience to life.

Out of formation- Ace Combat Infinity review

When I tallied my first impressions of Ace Combat Infinity a few months ago, I admitted that while I’d come to a few conclusions about what the game would finally be like, I was still holding unsteady hope about what the Project Aces team would ultimately do. After all,
