Injustice: Gods Among Us Review
A few years ago NetherRealm Studios put out Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe to mixed results. Since the title featured DC Characters, many hoped that it would feel like an interesting experimental hybrid of a fighting game, but sadly it turned out feeling more like a Mortal Kombat game with DC Character skins.

Drinkbox Studios is following their Tales from Space games with Guacamelee!, a 2D platformer set in Mexico that has you donning a luchador mask and jumping between the [...]
BioShock Infinite Review
When I first saw imagery of BioShock Infinite, I immediately lost interest.

The Best and Worst Video Game Character Redesigns
Coming up with original characters seems to be getting harder and harder for video game creators these days, with the myriads of sequels and remakes that have been coming out.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Review
Now, I am not a man of God. But if I were, I would believe that he was punishing the Aliens fans that actually care about the franchise and want it to succeed. Damn near every Aliens game ever released has been incredibly average at best, and never truly did the franchise justice. When I [...]
Could Cross-Buy Save the PS Vita?
Regardless of your handheld preference, it’s an unfortunate truth that the PlayStation Vita hasn’t been doing very well. Maybe it’s Sony’s fault for not marketing as well as they should have or that the game library is minuscule compared to the game libraries found on the Nintendo 3DS and original PSP.
