Review by V8NinjaRacing video games tend to sway in one of two directions; either hyper-realism or pure arcade action.

Read MoreReview by Clark A. Many will regard Rune Factory 4 as yet another release in the farming meets fighting franchise.

Read MoreComcept’s upcoming Mighty No. 9 seems to be living up to its title already, at least monetarily. Headlined by Keiji Inafune of Mega Man fame, the 2D platformer amassed $4,031,428 between over 67,000 backers and hit all of its announced stretch goals in the process. One of the game’s main…
