Far Cry/Far Cry 4/FPS/open world game/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Ubisoft

Review by Nick H. Far Cry 4 is in every way a summer blockbuster movie – only it has been released at a time of year that is decidedly anything but summer. It is full of big, explosive moments and is constantly trying to outdo itself for the big, explosive…

Review by Matt S. Arcana Heart 3: Love Max!!!!! has been a sharp reminder to me that when it comes to fighting games, I want more than a workable combat system. Examu’s semi-sequel to Arcana Heart 3 is a very workable fighting game, but unless you’re a hardcore fighting game…
