It’s been a great month for games, starting off with “Super Smash Bros.” on the 3DS, (with the Wii U version coming up in November), “Driveclub” on the PS4 and “The Evil Within” on all major consoles. We started off strong, but the month isn’t over yet, so here are some of the titles that are yet to come...
On Nov. 4, Natsume yet again released its redundant farming simulator under a new title, "Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley." Since its first installment on the SNES, the Harvest Moon series has been making its way through all of Nintendo's home and handheld consoles with generally the same story, protagonist and objective — as an ungodly optimistic newcomer in...

The word ‘final’ in Final Fantasy is very oxymoronic from a series perspective. How can something be so final if it has 15 different fantasies? Yet, players quickly understand the meaning behind the title when fully enveloped in one of the 15 titles' story and gameplay. None bigger than...
“Child of Light” is the newest RPG from developer Ubisoft Montreal that uses the UbiArt Framework, the same game engine used to create “Rayman Legends.” It is a 2D, side-scrolling RPG that adds in some minor platforming and puzzle solving to its stellar turn-based combat system, and the gameplay instantly grabs your attention with its storybook-like art style, which...

Despite being released to much fan praise, it was also met with some criticism by reviewers...

Some of the most well known figures in pop culture, characters such as Superman and Batman (who need no introduction), started in comic books. For years the number one show on television was an adaptation of Robert...
It is hard to say that one of the best-looking games from the PS3 and Xbox 360 needed a visual upgrade, but that is exactly what we got with “Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition." The game is a re-release of a reboot that came out a little less than a year ago in March 2013. Lara Croft made the jump...

While these titles would capture the fighting and story aspect of the series quite well, they failed at capturing the worldbuilding aspect that makes the series so endearing.
