‘RIME’ Review: Ephemeral Melancholy

Rime Review
4.2
out of 5
In RIME, the puzzle/platformer hybrid from Tequila Works announced a whopping three years ago, there are no extravagant guns,  melee attacks or even simple instructions. RIME is a lesson in ephemeral melancholy, tasking players to divert themselves from the hustle and bustle of life and rather easily journey through numerous beautifully rendered locations while giving chase to a mysterious red-hooded figure. As RIME begins, a violent storm results in a young boy being shipwrecked on a picture-perfect island. There is no explanation of who the…  Read More

‘Wonder Woman’ Review: DC’s First Marvel Movie

Wonder Woman Review
4.8
out of 5
The DC Extended Universe needs a win. After the incredibly awful Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the lukewarm Suicide Squad, which I actually enjoyed, the entire comic book-based film franchise is sputtering -- for lack of a better term -- to this November's Justice League. DC and Warner Bros. have their hearts in the right place; they want a franchise to at least match what the Marvel Cinematic Universe is doing, but as of right now, they are…  Read More

The fight continues until only one player remains and is…  Read More

out of 5
There are plenty of action oriented games on the crowded game market right now that basically offer something for everyone, but the new game, Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception, from developer Aquaplus and publisher ATLUS, takes a break from all of that and offers gamers a charming, pseudo-interactive visual novel. The player will spend hours upon hours reading text and hearing it performed by amazing Japanese voice actors, with tactical battles interspersed throughout the game to keep them engaged. Coming off…  Read More

‘Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers’ Review: Hadoukens On The Go

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers Review
3.6
out of 5
We've made it very well known that the majority of the "new" games on the new Nintendo Switch console/handheld hybrid have been ports. While most have been very capable games, and near perfect translations from earlier versions to the new Switch version, Capcom's Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is, by far, the oldest port to be polished for the hot new hardware. The core Street Fighter II game was released in 1991, not only FIVE console generations ago, but…  Read More
