Impressions by Brad L. Captain Toad returns to the Wii U in a follow up to what was probably the most refreshing aspect of Super Mario 3D World. I recently got an opportunity for some hands-on at the EB Games Expo, and I walked away feeling exactly the same about…
Read MoreImpressions by Harvard L. It’s past the time in the First Person Shooter (FPS) genre’s lifetime that critics are starting to question whether each new title is necessary. We’ve pushed technical innovations so far that there’s not much more room upwards to go – FPS gameplay is slicker than ever.…
