    Are you a chicken man or a BATMAN?

    Batman: Arkham City

    Are you a chicken man or a BATMAN?

    Decidedly Batman Arkham Asylum had lots of room for improvement and people usually don't hate money so a sequel didn't take too long to come. Two years after the first game Arkham City arrived and tried the somewhat easy... Read Full Review

    Batman: Arkham Asylum

    Something laughs in the dark.

    Unfortunately when it comes to PC games -- and this review is based on the PC version of the game -- there are much more than the actual game to comment on. Sometimes it's sad to say that the complex structures of PC bui... Read Full Review

    While nothing really groundbreaking can be found here, basically no one expected that anyway.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

    While nothing really groundbreaking can be found here, basically no one expected that anyway.

    People, people, comparing anything titled Smash Bros with Melee at this point is poignant. When a developer wants to make tweaks to improve upon a game they've established they have two ways. Throw everything into the ru... Read Full Review

    Super Mario 3D World

    It might feel a little out of place in the Wii U, but still solid.

    This is the Wii version and follow-up to the reboot version of Mario released for the Nintendo 3DS a while back. I've already talked about the previous game, Super Mario 3D Land and argued that while it might seems stran... Read Full Review

    Correcting the past.

    It was a decisive moment for Zelda at that time and age. The wheel was set in motion when Ocarina of Time broke the boundaries of 2D to delve into the 3-dimensional realm. Having sowed the seeds for the way Zelda was ima... Read Full Review

    One of those infinite games, it might suck you in if you're not careful.

    Some series are not meant to be taken lightly.

    I've said it before in 2004, it doesn't matter whether or not this is too classic to be messed with, it doesn't matter if it's Nintendo most serious game and when people buy it -- and they'll buy it if the box clearly s... Read Full Review

    This might look the black sheep of the family, but it's actually worth it.

    Right from the get-go you realize why this is called “Judgement”. Somehow, Damon Baird, one of the original four in the group since the first Gears, is being judged in a rather trumped-up trial. The form in ... Read Full Review

    The best thing about this is that we finally get to see Mario in glorious HD; regardless of it being a solid game.
