ARMS lacks legs — ARMS review

It’s easy to draw comparisons between ARMS and Splatoon, Nintendo’s paintball shoot-‘em-up that debuted on Wii U in 2015. Both games represent major new first-party IPs – a rarity for Nintendo – featuring stylized visuals and gameplay that usurps their respective genre norms. But while Splatoon succeeded at presenting

Second verse, same as the first: Beholder: Blissful Sleep review

In Beholder: Blissful Sleep, you play as Hector Medina, the former building manager of the apartment block in the main game. This seems to be a prequel, giving you a glimpse into the lives of some of the characters residing there before Carl Stein and his family moved in. While

Fighting among friends – Black & White Bushido review

There are few games these days that allow for a group of friends to sit together in a room and just have some good ol’ fashioned fun: enter Black & White Bushido. Playing this stealth-em-up arena brawler with a group of friends is an absolute blast. Getting to see the

A return to Tamriel – how Morrowind brought me back to The Elder Scrolls Online

Many of the editors here at Gaming Trend are avid Overwatch players and they’ve been telling me to hurry-the-hell-up and try it out for months now. I managed to hold out for about a year, but I finally succumbed to the pressure. So, in this week’s episode, you’

Weak-minded: Randall review

When a side-scrolling “Metroidvania” game is at its best, it’s addictive, challenging, and full of unique experiences. As a fan of the genre, I look back fondly at classics like Super Metroid, and some of the fantastic modern titles like Ori and the Blind Forest. When this genre is

Brawl in the family – Tekken 7 Review

It’s a testament to how much the Tekken franchise has evolved; ever since the good ol’ PS1 days, the 3D fighter has undergone some pretty distinct graphical and gameplay changes, and the seventh main installment shows this quite spectacularly. While there are some hiccups here and there, Tekken 7
