Being an early adopter for any console can be rough. Usually you have a go-to game on launch day, but then you find yourself counting the days ’til the next big release. That’s where I’m at, at least. Of course I picked up Breath of the Wild, and I’m excited…
After playing through the first few worlds of Vertex Pop’s new title Graceful Explosion Machine, I’ve graduated from a space scrub to a smooth, skilled space pilot filled with swagger. The constant onslaught of enemies in small, intense worlds provides an addicting, fast-paced shooter that keeps me saying “just one…
Playing games as long as I have, you take certain things for granted. While physics and movement in games are important and varied, the idea of getting from point A to B never feels daunting or engaging.

Welcome to the final chapter of the Zelda look-back series! We’ve taken a trip down memory lane and revisited some great games over the weeks, but now we are approaching the final stop with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The 3DS title was released back in November…
Plenty of games in the Legend of Zelda series are divisive, but none seem more-so than 2011’s Skyward Sword. It brought motion controls to the forefront, focused on narrative more than ever, and detailed the beginnings of the Zelda timeline as we know it. Now, despite five years having passed,…
For today’s addition to our Zelda recap series we’re tackling things a little bit differently – by combining both DS Zelda games together. Built on the same engine and having many of the same mechanics, they definitely come from the same mould, but there are a few unique aspects that…
