Yoshi’s Woolly World Review
Yoshi’s games in the past have left me mixed. On the one hand, Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario World 2 is a remarkable sequel, one that changed the core gameplay that we’ve come to expect from the series, while revealing something innovatively new in the process. On the other, there was Yoshi’s Story for Nintendo 64, and…well, it didn’t quite have the same level of qualit...[Read More]
Inside My Radio Review
Surprisingly enough, music/rhythm games aren’t just limited to Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero Live this holiday season. Nope, a team called Seaven Studios has brought over its PC cult hit Inside My Radio to the Xbox One, hoping to appeal to a new range of platforming fans with its unique set-up and interesting soundtrack vibe. But is it enough to pull us away from the bigger dogs in the genre? ...[Read More]
Rock Band 4 Review
Plastic instruments are dead. Long live plastic instruments.
NBA 2K16 Review
For years, NBA 2K has managed to dominate in the paint, starting its run on the Sega Dreamcast and, eventually, becoming a powerhouse sports franchise for 2K Sports. One would think that EA Sports would have the know-how to try and come up with a fierce competitor with its NBA Live brand – but, nope, NBA 2K16 makes NBA Live 16 look like a has-been.
Transformers: Devastation Review
I’m going to make this real simple for everyone, if you grew up on the original Transformers from the 80’s then you need to play this game. It’s that simple. That’s not to say that there isn’t a lot to love for everyone else, because there is. The game is fun, colorful, and well written(in that 80’s throwback kind of way) and just plain enjoyable. It’s a b...[Read More]
Penarium Review
Who hasn’t wished they could run away and join the circus? In Penarium you get to do just that. Just be careful with what you wish for… because Penarium isn’t your normal circus. ID@Xbox has been pumping out amazing games since it’s inception and Penarium is no different. A mix of platformer and puzzle, this game will challenge you to the very end. At least I think it does. I’ll admit now that par...[Read More]
Plague Inc: Evolved
Can you infect the world? Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero'. Now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself.
Plague Inc: Evolved Review
Plague Inc: Evolved isn’t exactly a brand new title. There have been multiple mobile versions, but now, the Plague has spread to Xbox One.
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls Review
Some series engender heated debates, with supporters enamored beyond comprehension, while detractors will take any chance to dismiss the series. Danganronpa is a series that precious few people I know are tepid on. Oddly enough, I was extremely dismissive of the series initially (full disclosure and all that), so the thought of diving into Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls was nerve...[Read More]
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, known in Japan as Zettai Zetsubou Shoujo: Danganronpa Another Episode (絶対絶望少女 ダンガンロンパ Another Episode lit. Absolute Despair Girls: Danganronpa Another Episode?) is a action-adventure video game developed by Spike Chunsoft for PlayStation Vita. The game is a spin-off of the Danganronpa series of visual novel games, taking place between the events of...[Read More]
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Review
As someone who has put in a lot of time in the Gears of War franchise I was more than happy to start playing Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Xbox One. I can remember the late nights when friends and I would just play co-op on insane hoping to one day beat the game itself. Did beating it on the difficulty ever happen? Sure, but we took our time since we often died, but in the end had fun.
Leo’s Fortune Review
No, you’re a ball of fluff! First booting up Leo’s Fortune on Xbox One throws you into a story narrated, by Leo of course, about amassing wealth and having it ripped from your grasp. All of the spoils from your hard work are gone, scattered across the landscape in a Hansel & Gretel breadcrumb-styled “come at me, bro” journey to find the game’s villain. You play as...[Read More]
