Bloodborne Review (PS4)

From Software knows how to develop a game and Bloodborne is no exception. For new players, be warned this game is challenging and it will be very punishing and very frustrating.

The Order 1886 Review (PS4)

Upon hearing that Ready at Dawn was developing their first AAA title on the Playstation 4, I had fairly high hopes for it. They had a pretty good track record on the PSP handheld with well received titles such as the God of War prequels.

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell Review (Xbox 360)

After the crazy ending for Saints Row IV, many wondered where the series can go next. At PAX Prime, it was shown that the game will venture to Hell to save your character, with you playing as fan favorite Johnny Gat or Kenzie Kensington. The reaction was mixed due to the city being half the size of Steelport and not being able to play your character. Are you ready to ride on the highway to hell, or should you ignore this and stay in purgatory?
