This year, the powers that be at Disney Interactive made the wise decision to continue supporting their flagship. Disney Infinity 3.0 is last year’s edition of the number one toys-to-life pla...
The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition is a mixed bag of a port for the PlayStation 4. The original game, without “Revival Edition” on the end, came to the PlayStation 3 with relat...
Strafe cuts an extremely appealing outline — at least to me. Its marriage of “rogue-lite” permanent death and impermanent progression to Quake-like first-person deat...
Story of Seasons (or Harvest Moon, as it used to be known) remains one of gaming’s most effortlessly charming franchises. Even if the idea of farming sounds incredibly dull, it’s hard to a resist a se...
Several hours into my time with Jurassic World: Evolution, I stumbled upon a tiny detail that changed the way I thought about the game.

Every year when I was a kid, my mom would buy me a new “I Spy” book, with pages filled with photographs of cluttered item search puzzles. Find five pins or find 10 owls. We would settle in my bed afte...
Project X Zone 2 is a mess in theory. It’s crossover strategy game featuring characters from Capcom, Namco, Sega, and Nintendo that exists almost entirely as a vehicle for jokes that make up...
Pony Island has utter contempt for games that use mechanical bells and whistles to extort something from their players. It is a seething letter to the CEOs, profiteers, and grubby busine...
