Sprint Vector
We’re now rapidly approaching the two-year mark since the release of both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. In that time players have come to expect more. The honeymoon phase of “any VR is good VR” has passed for all but the most recent converts. So where are things going...
Monster Hunter: World is the latest title in the long-running Monster Hunter franchise and is the first mainline title to hit non-Nintendo consoles since Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on the PSP in 2008. This title also marks the first Monster Hunter to release simultaneously in North America, Europe, and Japan,...
The Inpatient
In 2015, Supermassive Games delivered an exceptional character driven horror game with an outcome determined by your own decisions in Until Dawn. It undeniably bore its imperfections but managed to establish itself as one of my favorite titles of that year. After an excruciating three year hiatus from the franchise...
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for a well-done brawler, one that embraces the genre’s roots but also carries its own unique gameplay. I found Full Metal Furies satisfied that criteria, but I wasn’t expecting anything less from the creators of Rogue Legacy. When playing the...
Dragon Ball FighterZ is the culmination of a legendary franchise, packing fast-paced combat and graphics faithful to the source material. With a legacy that spans decades across all forms of media, Dragon Ball is one of the largest Japanese media franchises around. With fighting game titans Arc System Works at...
I’ve been playing Street Fighter since I was five years old, the SNES version of vanilla Street Fighter II being a huge gateway into all video games. Every new release brings me excitement…until Street Fighter V’s limited launch two years ago left a bad impression. Too many things I’d become...

If not from personal experience, we all know someone who has that bratty, annoying, younger sibling who just can’t stop being a pest. As kids with big imaginations, we thought of all manner of cruel and creative ways to be rid of them: devoured by monsters, exploded into the sun,...
Brawlout
The Nintendo Switch has become a fantastic stage for new indie darlings to make a statement, but Brawlout has some particularly large issues to address. For one thing, it’s undoubtedly going to be compared to a certain Nintendo brawler franchise, that comparison coming bundled with some lofty expectations. Brawlout doesn’t...
Gang Beasts
In recent years games have become less and less reliant on sticking to a single genre, but instead taking two or in some cases even three genres and blending them into something completely new and unique. What we end up with is often times something groundbreaking that we never thought...
Dreadnought
Dreadnought, from Six Foot Games, left the Beta stage on December 5th and its floating battleship mayhem has commenced in full force on the PS4. Should you fork over your hard earned money on it? Definitely not … because it’s free to play! See what I did there? But of...
Floor Kids
Floor Kids oozes style above all and that’s immediately apparent with its infectious and simple hand-drawn graphics by artist and creator JonJon. Coupled with some truly mesmerizing animation, Floor Kids is a game you’ll want to show off to friends and family. It sounds fantastic as well, boasting an original...
