Review by Sam M. It’s surprising to see a little indie game take on the big challenge of addressing the damsel in distress trope that has been a large point of discussion in video game culture lately. But when it’s done this well it’s hardly a complaint that Dokuro’s developers…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. If there’s one thing I’ve lamented about the Xbox One to date, it’s that Microsoft has really dropped the ball when it comes to small, downloadable titles. Looking back on my years with the Xbox 360, a good portion of my play time was dedicated to…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I admit I had my concerns when I saw that LittleBigPlanet 3 was being developed by a different team, Sumo Digital. There was a charm to the prior games that belied its surprisingly deep platforming mechanics and design options. I am happy to say that LittleBigPlanet…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. A year ago, I had a chance to play the first Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures game.
