Tales of Zestiria is a milestone title in the Tales series for a couple of reasons: it’s the 15th main entry in the aforementioned franchise and it was designed to be the 20th anniversary Tales title. It’s also the first Tales game to release on the PS4 (albeit, only in the west). Does it live up to expectations? Let’s find out....
Star Wars Battlefront leaves an excellent first impression. The commercials for the game compared the game to reliving your childhood of playing with Star Wars action figures & toys, and they pretty much deliver on that promise. The graphical fidelity in this game reaches a level of visual authenticity that no prior Star Wars game has been...
Looted the living daylights out of The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes' stock levels? Nintendo's got a nice little surprise for you. A DLC release scheduled for December 2 brings 30 new stages to complete, along with two new outfits and some welcome changes to online play.
Dig through your closet for those neon socks and break out your calculator watch, the golden age of arcade games is back. Circuit Breakers from Triverske is a classic twin stick shooter that belongs in an upright cabinet with four greasy joysticks. Or on Steam with four local players shootin' stuff all evening long, that works, too.
We've been covering Alienware's recent Steam Machine release on the site. We just launched our contest to giveaway a Steam Link and Steam Controller too! Our box is spec'd out with an i3 Processor, 8GB of RAM and a custom NVidia GPU. The box comes with Steam OS pre-installed but that means you lose access to games outside of Steam. Unless you decide to install your own OS. And that's just what we did.
I'll be honest, my loyal co-opateers, we've got less than a month until The Force Awakens comes out and, as such, Star Wars Battlefront is dominating the airwaves. While its co-op offerings are... let's say "lean", it gives players everywhere a chance to avenge the death of the most aptly named X-Wing pilot in the galaxy.
Some clever video game spelunkers recently uncovered a pair of easter eggs hidden away in LEGO Dimensions. Apparently, LEGO exhumed and then dusted off the long-dormant, classically beloved (not to mention chronologically opposed) cartoons The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Not that Batman, Gandalf, and crew can actually go kick it with Fred or George, but you can break into their houses and smash all of their furniture!
While the hey day of arcades may be gone, many of the games that spawned from those times still exist in one form or another. One of the rarest of these (in the U.S., at least) was the DARIUS series; a side-scrolling shooter with an extra wide-screen in the cabinet, a unique feature. The series lived on through several sequels over in Japan and the latest entry, DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours, will now see a digital release on the PS4, Vita, and PC.
When I first lost myself in the world of Rivellon last year, it was a fun trip, though one I never quite finished. With the release of Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, I believe I will be seeing that journey through to the end.
You don't have to wait until Cyber Monday to get a good deal on a Steam Link and Steam Controller. Just for tuning into Co-Optimus today, you'll have a chance to win the set along with a key that unlocks EVERY VALVE GAME EVER, even the ones that haven't released yet. Yup - even Half-Life 3.
Sword Coast Legends, released back in October, is an attempt by developers Digital Extremes and n-Space to hearken back to the days of yore. A time when CRPGs were (sort of) turn-based, loot littered the ground like candy wrappers on a street after Halloween, and just about any Tom, Dick, and Harry could claim their right to be heroes of legend.
Nice name, right? Fermenter Games' Neighborhorde is a four player couch co-op twin stick shoot-em-up that aims to bring a little levity into the horde-vanquishing shmup genre. It does this with colorful 3D visuals, crayon drawings of freaky monsters, and hair dryer weapons that shoot flames.
