We took a look at Capcom Fighting Collection 2 recently and in that time, our enjoyment of it has only grown. Like the prior...
When approaching anything from developer Compile Heart, players tend to know what they're going to get. Assets will be recycled to save on development costs, the plot will be silly and take a bulldozer to the fourth wall, and the gameplay won't be extraordinary or even particularly original. Understanding that...
DOOM: The Dark Ages, the newest installment in gaming's quintessential FPS franchise, is the biggest change of pace in the history of the series. The main factor in this dramatic shift isn't the new medieval setting, or even the addition of flight and mech gameplay. The most extreme difference between...
There are good career decisions and bad ones, but it's safe to say that any job requiring company solvency a century after it starts can best be described as "terrrible" and only goes downhill from there. Still, it's too late now for a lone settler dispatched to a remote solar...
Milestone has officially released MotoGP 25 as it continues to firmly put its foot into the talks of the top annual racing video game series. With the amount of racing series that exist, there are only about four that get annual releases. Ironically, three of those are from Milestone. The...

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 2 drops you straight into the story with next to no recap on what has happened before. It has been months since the first part, so you may have forgotten major parts of the storyline. It would have been great to get a cutscene...
The PC gaming era from the late 1990s to the early 2000s is untouched in gaming history. Only a select few were able to experience this as the amount of exclusive titles at that time were truly just that. These games didn't make their way over to consoles, and if...
