Review by Hamza A. Street Fighter has come a long way since it debuted at the arcade gaming scene back in 1987. Over the years since the characters roster has been updated regularly, the visuals have improved, fighting moves and combos have been refined, and new features have been added.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m struggling to think of a more niche example of a character mash-up fighting game than Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel. That’s not a criticism of the game, but the idea of bringing together a bunch of characters from the work of one developer that pushes…
Read MoreIn an era where local multiplayer games are harder and harder to find, Starwhal is a great love letter to those of us who used to spend countless hours playing games such as Madden, Mario Kart, GoldenEye or Tekken with our buddies.
