Alundra/MonkeyPaw Games/PlayStation/PS3/Retro/Retro Reviews

Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda is a game franchise that has over the years developed into a unique formula, many times emulated and rarely (or never, depending on your perspective) bettered.

ClaDun X2/Nippon Ichi Software/PC/Steam/System Prisma

Despite myself not being a huge fan of Japanese role-playing games, I have to give Nippon Ichi Software (NIS) credit.

Beta/Dust/dust 514/FPS/Opinion

I’ve been messing around a bit with the Dust 514 Beta thanks for my PlayStation Plus subscription, and I really just have one thing to say about the experience: sigh. I want to say from the outset that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the game: in fact, I’m having…

Capcom/Marvel vs Capcom Origins/PAX Prime/PS3/Xbox 360
