View ArticleTokyo Jungle Review
I'd recommend Tokyo Jungle to anyone looking for an utterly unique take on the post-apocalyptic theme. It's the sort of game that can get overwhelming if you play it all in one weekend, but if you jump...

View ArticleTorchlight 2 Review
Overall, Torchlight II is a great game. As far as gameplay goes, this is going to bring back memories of the earlier Diablo games. The story is perhaps less interesting, but it certainly doesn’t take...
View ArticleNBA 2K13 Review
I guess what I'm saying is - you can safely ignore My Team mode in NBA 2K13. What you can't ignore is the rest of the game, because it's probably the best sports game out this year. My Career mode -...
