Many will come to Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds for the beautiful boys, but what struck me most about the game is its attention to detail and historical accuracy. Note: There are some minor spoilers in this review. It’s bizarre to me that video games haven’t really tapped into the potential of …
Prior to Andromeda, my only encounter with the Mass Effect series was a brief few hours with the first game. I enjoyed what I played of it, but the Xbox 360’s infamous Red Ring of Death cut that short. I got a PS3 as a replacement, but by the time …
I must admit: aside from DuckTales, I can’t remember ever playing any of the games in The Disney Afternoon Collection. I didn’t have a NES as a kid, and when I discovered the joys of retro gaming as a teen, I was much more interested in games like Final Fantasy and …
A fifteen-minute pre-alpha demo of Black Hive’s upcoming side-scrolling action RPG Kova is enough to make me very excited about the full game. The first thing that hit me was the beauty of the world, as my character woke up from a crash landing on deserted, icy planet. With it’s …
One of the best side effects of a new LEGO movie (or, really, any movie with a LEGO license) is the range of new LEGO sets released to tie in to it. The LEGO Batman Movie is no exception; since its cinema release earlier this year, we’ve seen a bunch …

Troll and I tries to channel both Tomb Raider and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and ends up living up to neither of those inspirations. Troll and I feels like two very different games rolled into one. On the one hand, it’s a “single-player co-op” game in the vein …
I’ve been cautiously optimistic about Uncharted: The Lost Legacy since it was first announced last December. I’m clearly in the minority, but I was really disappointed by Uncharted 4 and the way it abandoned the series’ trademark sense of fun and character for a hollow attempt at telling a “serious” story. Its worst problem, …
I love PaRappa the Rapper, so I hate to have to say this, but PaRappa the Rapper Remastered is even more broken than the 20-year-old original. I love PaRappa the Rapper. It was one of my favorite games as a kid. I played it to death on PlayStation, and did …
