Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare is an underrated series. So underrated, in fact, that publisher EA and developer PopCap Games has decided to drop that subtitle altogether. Now we’re introduced to Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, a new third-person PvE and PvP shooter, which is Garden Warfare 3 in all but name....
Originally released on PC last year, Twice Circled’s popular aquarium tycoon sim MEGAQUARIUM is now available on consoles. It has made the tricky transition shockingly well for a simulation title, but that can be attributed to it being on the fairly simple side compared to games like Planet Coaster and other genre mainstays....
When you spend most of your time covering new releases, you don’t often get to look at pure arcade experiences. Sure, there are games with arcade elements and enhanced ports, but a top to bottom quarter-muncher is a rare beast indeed. That’s what makes KILLER QUEEN BLACK so interesting. A home version...

Souls-likes and cinematic platformers have been two genre spin-offs that have yet to be topped by any team outside of those who started those trends. The former are still largely owned by FromSoftware while Playdead still reigns supreme over the latter. But that doesn’t mean others can’t try their hand,...

The past couple years have been rocky for Codemasters as the acclaimed racing game developer has released broken games like Micro Machines World Series, laid of huge chunks of the studio after Onrush‘s commercial failure, and come under fire for a lack of content in recent releases. Despite this, the studio has been...
There’s nothing more tantalizing than a game with potential. Be it a unique mechanic, a novel setting or an innovative twist on familiar tropes, originality can sell players on new worlds and unproven concepts. Originality can also cause problems in production. A unique mechanic can lead to design headaches. Untested...
Premier fighting game developers usually stick to that genre for years if not decades. Even though NetherRealm in its many forms has experimented with unique minigames and brawlers in the past, it has almost exclusively created traditional fighting games along with the Tekken team. Or, in Arc System Works’ case, it’s the...
It’s been 10 years since Finnish developer Frozenbyte hit its stride with physics-based puzzle platformer Trine. Early adoption of the bundle model ensured that the TITLE graced Steam accounts far and wide, and the game propelled the studio onto continued success. Despite stumbling with a 3D entry a couple years ago,...
Art can give people life but few games take that as literally as CONCRETE GENIE. Pixelopus is stepping far away from its underwhelming debut, Entwined, to create a game all about, well, creating. From creating lively murals to creating adorable monstrosities with seven horns and four tails, Concrete Genie is...
Destiny 2 Shadowkeep is Bungie’s first major release since fully taking over development and publishing duties from Activision. Some profound changes to Destiny 2 mirror this big business move. There’s a new expansion, a free-to-play release in the form of Destiny 2 New Light, and almost every system in the...
Yooka-Laylee is a marquee example of misguided nostalgia as the Kickstarted throwback ended up being a boring, dated 3D platformer that couldn’t hang with the current genre stars. To combat that tepid reception, Playtonic squished the series down into 2.5D and more closely chased after Donkey Kong Country over Banjo-Kazooie...
It would be a fool’s errand to review Magic: The Gathering. The mother of all card games has been going strong for over 25 years, all the while increasing in complexity. It is like chess, only each player brings their own set of pieces. Even when limited to the Standard...
