For this week's retro review, we're taking a look back at the B-Movie horror-inspired classic that spawned one of gaming's most iconic franchises.
It's been six, painstakingly long years since the last mainline Zelda release. Does Tears of the Kingdom live up to the hype and precedent set by Breath of the Wild, or does it fall flat on it's face like Link without a paraglider? We talk all about that and more in our biggest review yet!
Arkane's latest first-person shooter is a boring, slog marred by a litany of technical issues. Wipe that smug look off your face, generic playable character, we've got a lot worse things to say than that.
Latest News
Summer is a big time for game reveals, with many companies hosting conferences showcasing their upcoming titles. However, sometimes a game might not be ready to show, but developers just can't help themselves and want to tell the world about their newest project. In this case, "Croc HD" has been teased by Argonaut Software founder, Jez San. There's no footage, screenshots or even a logo but I'm sure this news has made Croc fans very happy... all 7 of you.
This trend of reviving and remastering platforming mascots from the '90s can largely be attributed to the wild success seen with the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon remasters a few years prior. Here's to hoping Croc gets the same treatment.
Newest Trailer
The latest trailer for Nintendo's upcoming game, Pikmin 4, has just been released!
The trailer shows off a fairly extensive (for Nintendo's standards) character customization option. It also sets up the premise for the game's story, as both Olimar and a rescue crew have crash-landed on a planet.
The Japanese site has oodles of new screenshots and hints at more information being shown soon. Check out the video and the site for yourself!
