News by Jedediah H. I’ve been deservedly punched on the side of my head a couple times in my life (for being too handsome, I guess), but none of those hits registered with quite the impact or playfulness as Team Ninja’s flurry of news: Dead or Alive 5 Last Round…

Review by Nick H. Depending on your personal sensibilities, it is possible that the young women showing plenty of skin in Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus will be distracting or even offensive. However, if you focus on that aspect of what Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus has to offer, you might be…

Review by Sam M. In Space We Brawl is quite simple in its design, which is funny because space is meant to be limitless. It takes the local multiplayer focus that made the likes of Towerfall so great and combines it with that classic that almost everyone has forgotten now…
