Blades of Brim is the newest release from SYBO Games, the minds behind the massively successful Subway Surfers. The game takes the endless runner concepts that made Subway Surfers so successful and builds on them to create an addicting experience that definitely deserves a spot on your smartphone – it’s currently the most addicting endless runner available. Just like Subway Surfers, Sonic Rush, Temple Run, and other games ...

While we all love these games, there comes a time where risks need to be taken and new avenues explored. That’s what Splatoon is ...

Licensed games are a pretty divisive topic in the gaming industry. For every five excellent licensed games, there seem to be ten that are absolutely horrible. Tomorrow, Batman: Arkham Knight will be released, and LEGO Jurassic World was released last week. In celebration of the release of these incredible games, I’ve compiled a list of ten incredible licensed games that prove that these ...

The Nintendo E3 Digital Event is my personal favorite part of E3, and Nintendo’s digital events have been getting better and better with each passing year. This year, we were treated to muppet versions of Nintendo heroes Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Reggie Fils-Aime. We also saw muppet versions of Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, and Peppy Hare. You know what? ...
