Review by Nick H. TowerFall Ascension is a title that feels right at home next to Mario Kart, Tiny Brains or any other kind of party game. The idea is simple, but the execution is almost flawless. You and some friends are dropped into one of more than a hundred…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Awesomenauts Assemble! takes an almost ‘kitchen sink’ approach to things, tossing in RPG elements, 2D platforming and MOBA principles to create an addicting experience that is both unique but a lot of fun to play. If that sounds like an odd mix of things to put…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Putty Squad is an interesting mishmash of ideas that come together early to create a different kind of platforming experience, but one that may not be suited to everyone. The hero of this game, Putty, is a little blue blob who can jump, float, punch and…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Without a doubt in my mind, NBA 2K14 is the best sports game I have played this year. Of course, everyone’s mileage with sports titles generally boils down to what they think of the sport in question, and while 2K has a great engine in place…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Those purchasing a PlayStation 4 early have had PlayStation Plus pushed their way frequently. It is all over the PlayStation Store, most games come with a free seven day trial and if you already had it for your Vita or PlayStation 3, it lives on in…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Knack was one of the two retail Sony exclusive titles that were carrying the PlayStation 4’s launch hopes.
