Disarmed and dangerous: Severed review

Severed is the first touch-based action game I’ve ever loved. It carries itself with intelligence and fluidity, using a hybrid of thumbsticks and touch controls in ways that are intuitive and never gimmicky, making Severed feel perfectly designed for PlayStation Vita.

Complications on Corneria: Star Fox Guard review

Star Fox Guard presents a concept that sounds great on paper, but seemingly loses something along the way.

A lasting legend — The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD review

The original Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is very much a product of its time. Created with an art style designed to look gritty and mature after early fan backlash of Wind Waker’s bright and “kiddie” presentation, and with each foot loosely planted between two console generations, Twilight Princess

A new page in the platforming playbook — Klaus review

It’s rare for a game to come out and turn its genre on its head. Every once in awhile, though, a title comes along and flips traditional norms, taking a unique approach to established conventions. Klaus is one of those games. A platformer at its core, Klaus feels different
