High On Life 2 is right on time. At a moment in time that seems increasingly bleak, Squanch Games’ latest project has dropped in to let you escape for a bit, laughing like an idiot while you do so. The typical Squanch brand of humor – the kind you might see on Adult Swim shows like Rick and Morty and Smiling Friends – runs rampant through dialogue, visual gags, and unexpected story twists. Combat and movement feel terrific thanks to the new skateboard system, the world has enough hid...
Exciting side-scrolling action and a varied roster of heroes come together in a fun retro romp.
Digital Eclipse's latest is a love letter to kombat with a K, warts and all.
Capcom delivers another great fighting game collection--even with varying quality in the selections this time around.
Doom games, throughout the ages, have one simple premise: Kill demons with big guns. The formula has been modified slightly over time – our new era of Doom is now "kill demons, big guns, HEAVY METAL," which is an improvement – but as long as the basics are there, the game will likely be a ton of fun.

If I'm being honest with myself, the opening sequence of Indiana Jones And The Great Circle had me worried sick for a while. Rather than jumping headfirst into the newest adventure starring Dr. Jones and his archaeological exploits, The Great Circle instead places its tutorial level in a digital version of one of the movie franchise's most iconic scenes. I won't say which one for spoiler reasons, but once it was over, I started having doubts.
Three additional characters and brutal Animalities are overshadowed by an uneven, head-scratching story expansion.
