Reviews   -   Mar 09, 2015 “Platforming Perfection” – Ori and the Blind Forest Review (XB1)

Five minutes into Moon Studios’ Ori and the Blind Forest, I knew it was something special–and I hadn’t even begun playing yet. The opening sequence is powerful, emotional, and comparable in quality to any of Disney’s best animated films, and sets a very high bar for the

“Under 9,000” – Dragon Ball Xenoverse Review (XB1)

Namco Bandai has been releasing Dragon Ball series games for almost as long as the series itself has been around. The manga debuted in 1985, and less than a year later the first game was released. Since then, dozens of games have found their way into the hands of fans,

“I Fought the Law and I Won” – The Escapists Review – XB1

Travis’ Top Ten Games of 2014

I played nearly every game this year, which is something I can only claim to have done for the past few years, and despite that, this year it actually wasn’t hard for me to pick a top ten, as more disappointments launched than surprising successes. It was kind of

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy – 3DS Review

I have a confession. This time last year, I reviewed Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, the fifth installment in the Ace Attorney series. It was my first time playing an Ace Attorney game for longer than a few minutes, and I ended up giving it a positive review, which

LEGO Batman 3 Beyond Gotham Review

Anyone who has played the LEGO video games over the years has probably noticed that each game has endeavored to be even bigger than the last. Whether they were pushing the limits with 150+ playable characters, the addition of voice-acting, or most recently, including open-world elements in their games, it’

Evolve Alpha Preview

Travis Northup, Staff Writer As an Xbox One user, I got quite a bit of time to play Evolve’s Alpha. I played as each class, and as the monster quite a bit. Cooperation is key when playing as a hunter, unlike most multiplayer games, and sadly this was not

Shadow Warrior Review

In 1997, Shadow Warrior released for PC as a spiritual successor to Duke Nukem 3D, and starred a terribly racist Asian caricature named Lo Wang. This isn’t a premise that sounds like it would be able to endure nearly twenty years later, and yet developer Flying Wild Hog revived
