Leap of Fate is a unique roguelike that incorporates the best elements of the genre with the action of a bullet hell shooter. The game is very similar to Overture, which is another roguelike shoot'em up. What really sets Leap of Fate apart from other games in the genre is its story; this is where other games in the genre seem to fall short. Every time you start a new game or advance to a new ch... more.

Shadowrun Hong Kong is the latest release in the Shadowrun series. Like its predecessors, Hong Kong’s premise is a dark, twisted cyberpunk tale that will take you through the bowels of Hong Kong in search of justice, revenge and a body count like no other. Hong Kong happens to be the most in-depth Shadowrun game to date, as it dredges up memories of pen and paper D&D. With a story that pu... more.

Like Battlefield and Call of Duty, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series has been entertaining console and PC gamers alike for well over a decade. But unlike the competition (which uses fast-paced gameplay and quick respawn times), Rainbow Six Siege for Xbox One uses a slow, tactical approach to the gunplay that causes hearts to race and tensions to run high. The game also uses a punishing, 'once you're... more.

Brian Fargo is known for a laundry list of ionic game franchises that have appeared on a variety of platforms, including the popular Apple II and Commodore 64.

BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend for PlayStation 4 is essentially the same game as BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, which was released last year on PlayStation 3 by Aksys Games. What separates this release from its predecessor, though, is a myriad of updates that include additional DLC, the reintroduction of a character, and a new story that focuses on the events of Blazblue: Remix Heart (i.e. named Remi... more.

Tembo The Badass Elephant is a quirky 2D side-scroller that combines the blazing speed of Sonic The Hedgehog and the gameplay elements of many notable titles from the genre (i.e. Alien Hominid, Metal Slug etc.). But unlike the games that came before it, Tembo takes a light-hearted approach to the fast-paced, military carnage it portrays, as you control the elephant protagonist through seventeen le... more.

Until recently, developer Tin Man Games was best known for their efforts in bringing the Fighting Fantasy series - a largely popular series of role-playing books co-published by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone during the early to late 1980s - on various Android and iOS devices. Like the books they represented, the gameplay was rather straight-forward -- you would read through the story; roll ... more.

It was just a matter of time before Xbox gamers received a remastered version of Gears of War. Since HD collections and remasters are so popular these days, it's surprising it took this long for The Coalition to release Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Xbox One. Like its Xbox 360 counterpart, Ultimate Edition for Xbox One reminds us why Gears of War was such a great series -- it didn't focus ... more.
