Fans of the Donkey Kong franchise are likely aware of the infamous “DK Rap” from Donkey Kong 64. Conceived as something of a goof to start off DK’s first 3D outing, the theme was written and composed by legendary composer Grant Kirkhope after being implored by designer George Andreas from…

Having seemingly come out of nowhere earlier this year, Liar Princess and the Blind Prince already has me drawn in. The illustrated aesthetic and theming on display are top-notch, putting you in the middle of a fairy tale’s muted pages as you lead a blind prince through the forest in…
The last few months have been a Bayonetta frenzie for fans of the franchise. After the announcement of Bayonetta 1, 2, and 3 for the Nintendo Switch at the Video Game Awards in December, we know that this is definitely the year of Bayonetta. With the first two games out…
