I am terrible at fighting games. I watch what happens at events like EVO and shake my head in shame, knowing that I will never even come close to that kind of level of skill. Too many button combinations, too much speed. I’m a JRPG player, damn it, I like…

Zombie Army Trilogy plays like a second rate movie starring plenty of action and sometimes chuckle-inducing horrors. The idea plays out like an old 80’s action flick but set during World War II. Hitler, in a last ditch effort to stave off his enemies, has unleashed zombie plague on his…

The game so nice, we reviewed it twice! We loved Project CARS on the PlayStation 4 and the PC, but apparently Project CARS is not so fond of the Wii U. Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed that it has stopped development for the game on Nintendo’s Wii U due to it being…
