Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition Review
Guacamelee! was released last year to a lot of fanfare. The mix of "Metroid-vania" game play, old school beat-em-up sensibilities, and vibrant visuals was everything a downloadable title should be in my mind. I never once thought that it was missing anything. It seems Drinkbox Studios felt differently, because Guacamelee! STCE is packed with everything I…

Infamous: Second Son Review
As I was tearing down the streets, running over cars, or up the side of buildings with a purple-ish neon colored trailing me wherever I went, I came to the conclusion that Infamous: Second Son is legitimate fun.

Strider Review (PS4)
There are a ton of games and franchises from yesteryear that would make excellent choices for a revival subject. Gamers as a collective have been screaming for quite a few lately.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Review (PS4)
Every time a developer announces a reboot of an iconic gaming series, the gaming universe reacts one of two ways.

Ru's Retro Review: The Simpsons Arcade

Falling Into Shadow
It took me a while to finish another post. Why, you ask? Well, I wanted my next one to be about my experience playing Killzone:Shadow Fall as a newcomer to the series. Admittedly, it took me a while to actually get going in the game. I got caught up playing NBA 2K14, and Killzone hadn't…
