Hits A Sweet Spot
Fun Bits Interactive and Sony Santa Monica created exactly the game I needed in Fat Princess Adventures: short, simple and shallow in the best possible way. Continue reading Fat Princess Adventures Simple, Not-So-Clean Fun

Shadow Complex Remastered review
TWO STEPS FORWARD, THREE JETPACK LEAPS BACK
Shadow Complex is a game whose reputation precedes itself. Heralded as one of the greatest releases on Xbox Live Arcade, it reinvigorated the 2D Platform Adventure genre, which now has a strong presence with titles like Guacamelee and Axiom Verge. It’s been six years since its initial release and a PC port entitled Shadow Complex Remastered is now available. Along with the typical improvements and options that come with the platform, this version also has additional gameplay elements and improved graphics thanks to a new engine. Being a fan of the genre but having never played the original, I jumped in with hopeful expectations, which were both exceeded and severely let down. Continue reading Shadow Complex Remastered review
Bloodborne The Old Hunters Review
A HUNTER’S VICTORY
It’s more Bloodborne. But I suppose you already knew that. The Old Hunters is a dense amount of DLC that has plenty to offer Hunters both old and new to Yharnam. While the setting’s depth may be more rewarding for those who have already explored the main game, this expansion gives players plenty of reason to come back for more punishment.

Game of Thrones: The Ice Dragon Review
“… OR YOU DIE”
The season finale to Telltale Games’ Game of Thrones may seem like culmination of all choices players have made in the past five episodes, but the biggest impacts to the world are primarily based on the decisions made in the last. While the story ends a little sooner for some of the Forrester bloodline, for better or worse, it is certainly not complete for the players who have followed these characters through a six episode season.

FATAL FRAME: MAIDEN OF BLACK WATER REVIEW
DROWNING IN FEAR
Fatal Frame is not a series that I’m overly familiar with. In fact, other than a brief mention from a friend about seven years ago about how “scary” the PlayStation 2 entries were, I hadn’t even heard of them. All that changed recently when I finally tried it out for myself. Continue reading FATAL FRAME: MAIDEN OF BLACK WATER REVIEW

PERFECT PLAY! INCREDIBLE!
It’s been quite the year for rhythm games! The once-dormant genre is making a comeback in a big way, with new entries in the Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Project Diva, and even Persona series. Drawing on their past experience with the DJMAX series, the developers at Nurijoy are capping off the 2015 resurgence of rhythm games with Superbeat Xonic. But did they end the year on a high note?
