When Devil May Cry 4 launched in 2008, it quickly became a fan favorite and a critical success. Now, after rebooting the franchise with DmC: Devil May Cry, Capcom is giving players a more traditional Devil May Cry experience with Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition. With additional modes, new playable characters, and upgraded visuals, Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is the definitive version ...

On June 25th, The Last Roman DLC was released for Total War: Attila. I’m usually a little hesitant when picking up Total War DLC, and I believe that many others feel the same way. If I were to purchase all of the DLC for Attila then I’d have to fork out almost as much money as I did to buy ...

The next stage (or more accurately, the continuation of a stage) has just been released for Plants Vs. Zombies 2 and in it, the zombies are back on the march in the Lost City. With more than a dozen new levels, an endless wave mode for the stage, modified side quests that are repeatable, 3 new plants (one of which requires ...
Read More »Batman: Arkham Knight Review – The Hero We Deserve
Batman: Arkham Knight is the third (and, reportedly, final) title in Rocksteady’s series of Batman games. In 2009, Batman: Arkham Asylum truly defined the superhero video game – though it had been attempted many times before. It was followed by Arkham City in 2011 and a prequel title, Arkham Origins, developed by Warner Bros. Games Montréal. All of the games (except, perhaps, Arkham Origins) were ...
Read More »Splatoon Review – A Beautiful Mess
Splatoon was a risky choice for Nintendo. Nintendo’s success rests mostly on its existing IP – Mario, the Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon are just a few of the massively successful franchises that Nintendo has launched. 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 ...

Continuing from where our fearless protagonists last left off, Tales from the Borderlands: Catch a Ride wastes no time in getting back into what makes the Borderlands series great: lots of shooting and lots of laughable moments. The big questions though, are whether or not returning players will remember what is going on and will new players starting from here ...
Read More »Fallout Shelter review
In the midst of Bethesda’s first E3 conference, among all the (well deserved) jabs at smartwatches and announcements of a real Pip-Boy for the collectors edition for Fallout 4 was the revealing of Fallout Shelter, yet another way that you can bring your love of Fallout with you wherever you go. Described by Todd Howard as a kind of a ...
Read More »Heroes of the Storm Review
On paper, I shouldn’t really be enamored by Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s first foray into the MOBA genre. Its casualized and dumbed down approach to the genre seems like a retraction rather than an advancement for the MOBA formula. On the contrary, where Heroes of the Storm removes complicated staples of the genre, it adds in new mechanics that ...
Read More »Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure Review
Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure came as quite a surprise. It was announced and released in Japan on May 31, and it finally hit the eShop in North America and Europe on June 11. By bringing classic Dr. Mario gameplay together with elements from Dr. Luigi and Dr. Mario Online Rx, Miracle Cure provides an excellent Dr. Mario experience for a low price. If you’ve never played ...
Read More »A Windows Phone App Review – Lara Croft: Relic Run
The Windows Phone app ecosystem often, and with reason, receives criticism. The Windows Phone app selection isn’t as great as iOS or Android, and many of the WP’s titles come no where close to parity with its competition. It’s one of the biggest things holding Windows Phones back. If you’ve ever played something like Infinity Blade on iOS, WP apps ...
