When Resident Evil: Revelations came out last year, it was overshadowed by the impending release of console big brother, Resident Evil 6. While Resident Evil 6 ended up being criticized for a multitude of issues and is still routinely ravaged today, Revelations was praised as a refreshing return to form for a franchise that had [...]

After a disappointing entry on the 3DS, I was hesitant to jump on New Super Mario Bros. U  before realizing that disappointing or not, it’s nigh impossible to make a bad Super Mario game. It’s also impossible to resist a brand-new Mario game launching with the system, one that unlike NSMB 2, doesn’t just feel [...]

While the current Wii U eShop is a mess to navigate, it’s worth suffering through for Chasing Aurora. Reminiscent of Flower, it’s the most relaxing experience I’ve had with the system. Instead of playing as a gust of wind going into flowers, though, you’re a bird partially propelled by gusts of wind. You’ll also get around by [...]

Note: Portions of this review appeared in our Xbox 360 review of Just Dance 4.  Back when Dance Dance Revolution was reigning supreme, who would have thought matless games would be the future — or even possible? Yet here we are, ten years later, with DDR a mere afterthought in a “Just Dance Central” world. While that [...]

The Mass Effect series has become a generation-defining franchise, providing players with compelling characters and storylines along with some really good third-person shooting. While the original had some rough edges, the sequel smoothed many out, and the third game came as close to possible to eliminating the rest. The franchise makes its Nintendo console debut [...]

When Trine originally hit the PC in 2009, it instantly became something special among the community. It was a vibrant and well designed action platformer that involved three lovable characters, each who had different motives for why they were on their quest. By reinventing the world through alluring visuals, adding cooperative play, and now making [...]

Good things come in threes; so three “tanks” in a video game title? Not a bad proposal. That’s exactly what Namco Bandai is banking on when it comes to allocating the surely barren funds (after picking up a $349.99 console) to but a few key launch titles. Sure,  ZombiU and Super Mario Bros. U are [...]

Note: Portions of this review appeared in our Xbox 360 review of Assassin’s Creed III. Assassin’s Creed III is one of those rare games conceived to be revolutionary from the beginning. In development since the second title launched in 2009, Ubisoft had enough confidence in it to release the next two entries in the series numberless. [...]

The combination of two properties at the height of their exposure, Wii U and zombies, ZombiU couldn’t have come out at a better time. Given that the same day it was released, a new episode of The Walking Dead continued to break cable records and the Wii U sold out everywhere, it’s no surprise the [...]

The franchise that mixes Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors together is back once more for an excess amount of hack ’n slash action. While the game initially hit the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 earlier this year, Koei has decided to bring this historically inaccurate franchise to Nintendo’s new console, offering additional features and characters.
