If your summer has been going a little too slow, we've got some good news for you. Sonic Origins, the collection of Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3, Sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic CD, is here. It's an exciting collection because its super-speedy 2D platformers have all been remade in a new engine that adds widescreen support and other enhancements. As always, Sonic 2 features 2-player local co-op, and Knuckles is even playable now.

Is this the year of the retro collection? Taito Milestones and Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection have already come along, and the upcoming TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection is hotly anticipated. Sega wants in on that classic compilation action too, as Sonic Origins now has a firm release date of June this year. Alongside the release date and opening of the preorders are new details about what the collection of 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog games will contain.

Last October, I reviewed the HyperX Alloy Origins Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (with Red/Linear switches) and had a lot of great things to say about it. Today I’m reviewing the same keyboard, but this time with Aqua/Tactile switches. While it would be easy to just say “The Alloy Origins with Aqua switches is great, just like the last vers...

If you’ve read some of my other peripheral reviews, you might know that I’m a big fan of the HyperX Alloy series of keyboards. The original Alloy FPS (reviewed three years ago in October of 2016) made me believe that mechanical keyboards weren’t all just hype. Since then, I’ve reviewed the Alloy FPS Pro, the Alloy Elite, and...

While there’s certainly advantages to living in a gaming era that emphasizes online co-op, couch co-op games will always hold a special place in many of our hearts. Therefore, we (the folks at Co-Optimus) were extremely pleased when the recently released Nex Machina brought back this nostalgic experience in fine form. As a game developed with...

You can enjoy defending towers, solve underground puzzles, and even go on a grand platforming adventure with some buddies next month. January's Games With Gold will include Deathtrap for the Xbox One, and The Cave and Rayman Origins for the Xbox 360.

Hey, do you own a PC that can play games? Then you'll probably want to stop whatever it is you're doing, head over to the Ubisoft Club, and snag seven free games, including the co-op friendly Rayman Origins, The Crew, and Assassin's Creed 3.

Ubisoft is continuing their 30th anniversary celebrations this month by giving everyone Rayman Origins for free! All you have to do is launch the Uplay application on your PC, click over to the "Ubi 30" tab, and claim it.

The Humble Bundle is the type of friend that keeps on giving.  Not only do you get games for as little (or as much) as you want to pay, but you also get to give to charity.  As the deals are time limited, sometimes you miss out.  Therefore, the likes of Ubisoft come back and offer you an encore; in this case games including Rayman Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Far Cry 3.

Now you can play one of the best platformers of the last generation of consoles on the current one. In a tweet last Thursday, Major Nelson announced that Rayman Origins has been added to the list of backwards compatible games for the Xbox One. 

You've got a limited time (just 10 more days!) to pick up the gorgeous/fun platformer Rayman Origins, and the also good Splinter Cell: Blacklist for just $9.99. $9.99? Actually, it's more like $8.01 but I felt like being topically relevant to a tax commercial.

Treyarch released their latest Black Ops 2 update for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions a few days ago, just near enough for the release of today’s “Apocalypse” DLC on Xbox 360.
