Hyper Scape Review

We’ve Been Here Before

HIGH That soundtrack absolutely rules.

LOW Navigating menus like a hub world.

WTF Yeah I’ve been in the pre-game lobby for a while now


EA Sports UFC 4 Review

This Rookie’s Got Some Heart

HIGH Fighting is satisfying, as are choices in career mode.

LOW I swear I hit the right buttons!

WTF I’ve injured my training partner way too many times.


CrossCode Review

An Uneven Blast From The Past

HIGH Faithfully recreates the look and feel of 16-bit RPGs.

LOW No feeling for the story or characters.

WTF A fantasy MMO with no toxic players.


Spellbreak Preview

If the success of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has taught us anything, it’s that it’s possible to make a successful battle royale without the use of guns or crafting. As the genre becomes increasingly popular, it’s interesting to see the different spins developers add to the ‘last person standing’ style of play. Spellbreak’s twist? Fantasy.


Tannenberg Review

War Never Changes

HIGH It reminded me how great Battlefield I and V were.

LOW It looks like an N64 game exclusive to KB Toys.

WTF Am I going to hell for laughing at the noises enemies make when they die?


Rocket Arena Review

I Wanna Rock(et) And Roll All Night

HIGH A creative combo of styles rolled into an online shooter.

LOW The playerbase numbers, apparently.

WTF An impromptu game mode in Halo inspired this.


Rogue Company Early Access Preview
