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...
One way or another, film noir will persist. Although it’s been decades since the genre was in vogue, various stories keep appearing to carry on the tradition. The Red Strings Club is one such story. You’ve got a girl in trouble, death, deception and a mystery that begs to be...
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.

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...
I really liked the odd characters that popped up to give the game a narrative. And levels have one semi-unique mechanic, like rescuing people, which is accomplished by hovering over them for a set amount of time.
Steep: Road to the Olympics is based on the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics taking place in PyeongChang, South Korea. Ubisoft has decided to narrow the focus of this Winter Olympics game to 12 events featuring Snowboarding and Skiing. While that means we won’t get any skating, bobsledding or curling (sorry,...
Some adventures are just better with a few friends. Others are downright punishing when you try and go it alone. Nine Parchments, the latest co-op game from Frozenbyte, is an excellent example of that second category. Like the Trine games that came before this one, you really shouldn’t try and...
Wrap up that public event you’ve been grinding for the last three months and cash in your tokens because you’re headed to Mercury, Guardian. To nobody’s surprise, the Vex are up to no good as they’re rummaging about on the planet closest to the sun. Thankfully, the legendary outcast, Osiris,...
