April Fool’s Day is the single worst day in the games industry. Fake news stories plus a rapid fanbase ready and willing to accept any morsel of information as gospel, regardless of how obviously fake, makes for a painful combination. It turns out the day isn’t particularly good for video game releases either. Double [...]

March hits the ground running with a week packed with solid releases.

No, you should buy Soulstorm because it promises to [...]

This week can only be described as disappointing, especially after last week’s unexpected lineup of excellent titles. We can’t wholly recommend a Pick of the Week or Runner-Up this week, but we’ll keep you informed just the same.
