I like to consider myself a semi-hardcore fighting game fan. I watch the Evo tournaments and Capcom Cups, memorize the combos, and hell I even used to compete in Soul Calibur competitions. I’ve played nearly every notable fighting game ever made, but the Dissidia series has never managed to ...
“Kamehameha.” For those in the know, the word conjures an image of spectacular destruction. Granted, we’ve seen stronger and evolved forms of the attack in the decades since, but the Kamehameha remains an iconic Dragon Ball staple. With Dragon Ball FighterZ, that devastating wave of energy has never looked ...
Last year’s Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth was a breakthrough for the series. Finally, a quality monster collecting game that isn’t on a Nintendo platform! Sure, Digimon may not have the popularity of Pokémon but it’s still better than nothing, right? In fact, the game turned out to be a ...
There’s no delicate way to put it but Gintama Rumble on PlayStation 4 is pretty much “Dynasty Warriors Gintama”. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Warriors-creators Omega Force should be tickled pink at what Tamsoft Corporation have created. The gameplay and control scheme are so similar ...

The Assassin’s Creed brand took a massive hit to its reputation when Assassin’s Creed Unity (2014) came out. Technically broken and glitchy, it sent the series into a downward spiral, even after subsequent patches got the game into a playable state. Not even Syndicate (2015), a much better release, ...
The first LEGO Marvel game was like a breath of fresh air for a stagnating series. It mixed fun open-world gameplay with linear stages, and had a cast of characters that ran the gamut from the Fantastic Four to the X-Men and the Avengers. It proved that a Traveller’s ...
After constant delays, Gran Turismo Sport is finally here. Even though it is the successor to Gran Turismo 6, it is dramatically different from earlier Gran Turismo games before it. Gran Turismo 6 was a game of big numbers. Players could race on 71 layouts of 33 tracks, and ...
