Review by Matt S. We’ve reviewed Pure Chess in the past. It’s been across just about every game platform I own now, in fact, and the standard has been astronomical across the board (hah, there’s a pun for you in the opening paragraph). The Wii U version is the latest…

News by Matt S. When you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Recently the first tidbits of Assassin’s Creed: Unity were leaked out of Ubisoft’s towers. Rather than try to downplay the leaks, Ubisoft has decided to formally release a “sneak peak” minute of very early footage of the game. Unity…

Review by Nick H. I love it when developers are willing to take risks. I enjoy a good shooter as much as the next person, but there is little doubt that the genre has gone a little stale due to the oversaturation of titles on the market. When it was…

Review by Chris I. On a remote space station floating just above Earth’s atmosphere, some of the brightest minds have come together for the ultimate experiment: breaking down the barriers of the space-time continuum to open the galaxies for leisurely space travel.

Review by Matt S. I can’t believe that it’s taken me so long to discover the Inazuma Eleven franchise. Well, actually, I know why it’s taken me so long to discover the Inazuma Eleven franchise; it’s hasn’t exactly been given the highest profile out of Japan in the past. Because…

Review by Matt S. It must be a tough act to follow up the Disgaea games. That series of tactics JRPGs is so finely balanced, complex, and ultimately rewarding that any game made “from the same team as Disgaea” was always going to be exposed to some serious scrutiny from…
