There are worse games to base your 79p, no-achievement game on. The original Super Mario Bros is a classic, there’s no doubt about it, and Super Pixel Kid is a gushing love letter to it.

When Capcom announced it was making an expansion, I knew it would be a tough act to follow. Unfortunately, the three parts of the Winters’ Expansion aren’t up to it. Its new

“Every challenge brings opportunity;” that’s what we thought when we started working on the next expansion for Surviving the Aftermath. With Shattered Hope we went back to the core of the game, focusing more on the survivors, testing their limits instead of aiming for a grand adventure or end goal. The new scenario revolves around

Who would win in a fight? Chris “The Boulder” Redfield or Leon “The Hair” S. Kennedy? Could Hunk take Ada Wong? What would happen if Claire Redfield fought Jill Valentine? What if one of them could transform into a Tyrant when they died? Those are the kinds of questions that Resident Evil Re:Verse seems to

The claustrophobic press of frenzied melee, whistling of missiles, and thunderous charge of cavalry are often represented in games, but rarely so personally as in the Mount & Blade series.
