The Predator’s trophy room is decorated with many skulls — humans, coyotes, Xenomorphs — but there is one foe that the dreaded beast can’t seem to best: time. Time has turned this predator into prey since the 1987 classic film, transforming an esteemed hunter into an atrophying pile of meat...
Gears of War is a series known for its fast-paced and frenetic cover-based shooting. You’re always on the move, bouncing from one low-wall to the next trying to take down the Locust (and later the Swarm). It doesn’t seem like the Gears games would translate well to turn-based tactical gameplay,...
Journey to the Savage Planet was an exercise in brevity that many, many other games could learn from. It had no filler and let players explore and tinker with the titular savage planet without overstaying its welcome. By that very notion, DLC almost seems counterintuitive to such a lean game....
Each generation has its defining games, but some titles break past generational greatness to be perenially lauded. Final Fantasy VII sits among the pantheon of true video gaming legends like Super Mario Bros., Halo, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time. FF7 is a game that people have an almost holy attachment...
Modern Warfare 2 probably had the biggest shoes to fill in the series. Following up one of the most influential games of all time was a tall task and there was almost no way it could have lived up to that challenge. Now, almost 11 years later, CALL OF DUTY:...
Even though Metroidvania games are quite prevalent nowadays, Ori and the Blind Forest was still among the best when it came out in 2015.

Few studios are as singular and widespread as Ninja Theory. While it mainly produces experiences in the character action genre, those hack and slash games cover a variety of tones and series. BLEEDING EDGE is the team’s foray into multiplayer, bringing its stylistic flair and melee fundamentals to the online...
Persona 5 Royal
Persona 5 Royal gives the game the Persona 4 Golden treatment, adding a bevy of new content, features, adjustments, and characters. It’s the definitive version of the game, making the original release obsolete. Despite Persona 5 being our game of the year for 2017, it did have some minor issues,...
Following up smashing success hasn’t been Doom’s strong suit. Doom 3, the long silence that followed, and the ill-fated Doom 4 are striking examples of the series being damned by its own past achievements. But the Doom Slayer kills damned things for a living and eviscerated that slump with the...
POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON: RESCUE TEAM DX isn’t just a game with a too-long name, it’s also a remake of the 2005 Blue and Red Rescue Team Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance releases. With Pokemon titles usually standing the test of time, can the same be said for Rescue Team? Here’s our review after spending 14 hours...
