Darkstalkers Resurrection is a great collection of some classic games. I really liked playing Darkstalkers 3, and the unusual round system and art style made the game seem like more than just another solid fighting game. Iron Galaxy [...]
It’s nice that Capcom is attempting to preserve a portion of the company’s product history. Unfortunately, the games just don’t update very well. The absurd difficulty curve and cheap deaths are a constant reminder that these games were [...]
Vergil’s Downfall is not fundamentally broken, but it’s over quickly and falls far short of the quality of the main game. It’s super disappointing. I really liked Vergil’s new characterization, and I was excited to play as him. [...]

Dishonored is a really great video game. I enjoyed the gameplay a lot and the story and world are interesting, if occasionally flawed. It’s certainly one of the more interesting games released this year and everyone should at [...]
