Review by Lindsay M. I am one lucky girl: it seems as though much of what I love from my childhood in the late ’80s and ’90s is coming back with gusto. Tamagotchis, Lisa Frank stationary sets, Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles… these have all had a reboot in recent memory, and…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I first fell in love with Rhythm Heaven in 2010, one year after its worldwide DS release, after everyone had written it off as “probably shovelware” at the end of the DS’s cycle. It’s a series every fan of rhythm games should be acquainted with, taking…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky is a very good game, but it’s also a game that takes a really long time to get to that point. It’s a given that it might take an hour or two for a game to find its…

However, just focusing on that would be selling Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 short, because there is a quality brawling game with some inspired MMORPG elements that…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. There are some core fundamentals in Mark McMorris Infinite Air that take some getting used to, but the game also takes a lot of time investment to get the most out of what it has to offer. That learning curve, which will probably intimidate newer players,…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. It’s no secret that the original Corpse Party is an older horror game. The latest entry in the franchise is a polished version of that release and retains the original’s overall aesthetics and mechanics. What’s fascinating is that, 20 years later, Corpse Party is still a…
