There may not be a game yet available for the Wii U that can best the thoughtful, cohesive aesthetic of Chasing Aurora. The eShop exclusive from Broken Rules doesn’t exactly push the system’s horsepower, but everything, from the ambient soundtrack to the differently-scaled TV and GamePad interfaces to the look of the levels, is exactly what it needs to be. For all the game’s missteps (and there are a few), it maintains a wholly pleasant feel throughout. READ MORE
Adventure games are great to play but hard to review. I can’t really talk about the gameplay, because there isn’t a whole lot of that present. You move with the mouse, pick up items by clicking on them, combine items in your inventory and let the story unfold, because that’s why you’re here.
I can’t tell you about the story, because it’s the only thing that adventure games really have, it’s the big reason that I play them and if I spoil the story for you then I’m doing both the game and you a disservice. That said, the narrative journey that Primordia takes you on is well worth experiencing. READ MORE
It’s been three years since we last saw a Tekken game, but almost 12 years since the last Tag installment. The series itself has been considered one of the best 3D fighters available on the market.

Definitely. READ MORE
Not often can a game earnestly tout itself as a nigh-perfect package of gameplay, audiovisual presentation and narrative and, even if it can, there is usually some other critical flaw that it faces that sadly mars the overall experience. But, once in a very, very, very great while, some game passes through that gauntlet of development and reaches a state akin to Nirvana amongst games; a place where the true legends thrive and real gaming history is made and its players can count themselves truly privileged to have experienced it. This is where the game can stand with the classics of the other arts in a veritable pantheon of greatness.
One of these games is Persona 4 Golden. READ MORE
Three years ago, Batman: Arkham Asylum redefined superhero games, licensed games and even action games. We haven’t seen anyone attempt to re-create what Arkham Asylum did and pull it off as successfully. Arkham City proved that the formula still works, and the addition of an open world added a lot to an already great formula. Now we have the Armored Edition, the Wii U version of one of last year’s best releases. It provides all of the content you would want out of Arkham City with a few interesting Wii U specific changes, some better than others. READ MORE
