• Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Review

  13-09-2016 20:05
  
  When it's at its best, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 puts me in a zen-like trance that few games manage to pull off. The sense of old-school arcade speed, visual pizzazz, and organized chaos that it dishes out brought me deliciously close to the edge of insanity. It just makes a few too many unnecessary tweaks and additions, and those end up muddying the waters of Pac-Man’s timeless formula.
  Championship Edition 2  is crammed with options and modifiers. First, an Adventure Mode with

  13-09-2016 19:32
  
  Of the many alternate universes that make up DC's vast multiverse, few are as fascinating as the world of Injustice: Gods Among Us. This is a universe that started out very much like the regular DCU, but took a serious left turn right about the time Superman killed the Joker and became an iron-fisted dictator. While the original Injustice video game showed what happened when the Justice League crossed dimensions to overthrow this evil Superman, the prequel comic has spent years fleshing out the

• PES 2017 Review in Progress

  Editor's Note: This review in progress is based on the offline component of PES 2017. We'll bring you the complete review once we've had the chance to properly test the online aspects of the game on live servers.
  Last year, I said that PES 2016 might well be the best football game ever made. I also said that think it was too early to say that with absolute confidence; that it would be some time before its standing could be properly measured. Over months of play, a few small cracks appeared in th

• From Mega Man to ReCore: The Legacy of Keiji Inafune

  13-09-2016 19:20
  
  I’ve only met Keiji Inafune once, in a noisy demo room in a corner of the main hall at PSX 2015.
  Our team’s audio equipment was on the fritz and everything we tried to do to repair the malfunctioning microphones only seemed to make things worse. Through the whole process, Inafune waited graciously and patiently — a middle-aged, stylishly casual Japanese man with strikingly-bright eyes, courteously tolerating our shenanigans as we arranged and rearranged seating and equipment.
