Mighty Gunvolt Burst looks streets ahead of the original

I’m bursting with excitement to play it WhenAzure Striker Gunvoltfirst hit the 3DS, I picked it up right away. Not because I was zealous to play it, but rather I wanted to get my hands on the included freebieMighty Gunvoltright away. Looking like a side-project Inti Creates staff whipped up in an afternoon, it proved for me to be more memorable than the game it was based on, reminding me of how the sweet simplicity ofDark Void Zeroeasily outshined its HD brother....

My favorite matches from CEO 2015

The best of the best! CEO 2015, one of the biggest fighting game tournaments of the year, took place this weekend and had some insane moments. My favorite was probably the above match between Armada and Leffen inSuper Smash Bros. Melee. Yes, it’s Fox against Fox, but these two play so differently and are always striving to do better that it’s anything but boring or predictable. I didn’t get to see everything, but certain games stuck with me as I watched....

Now that the Switch port of She Remembered Caterpillars is beatable, you should play it

Colors of the wind A few months back,I took a lookat the charming indie puzzle gameShe Remembered Caterpillarsand walked away mostly impressed. I say mostly because there was a big problem with the Switch version: It was unbeatable. A game-breaking bug rendered the final few levels inaccessible and it put a damper on my enthusiasm for the game. I was gripped by the artwork, enchanted by the soundtrack, and enjoying wracking my mind, but I couldn’t finish the game....

Preview: Hands-on Crysis 3 single-player and Hunter Mode

A deadly game of hide and go seek I absolutely lovedCrysis 2. It had a relentless pace,gorgeous visuals, and gameplay that tickled my brain as much as my trigger finger. For a game that was never on my radar (I never played the original on PC), it absolutely swept the rug from under me. Best impulse buy I ever made. Having gotten some time to play around withCrysis 3,I feel pretty confident that the romance is going to carry on come February....
