Don’t run or they will give chase. Don’t hide or they will be lurking around every corner. Don’t shoot or they will undoubtedly fire back. Every action you take has an echo. These are the rules set forth by developer Ultra Ultra for its stealth action game ECHO, in which you must avoid and eliminate enemies

Throughout the company’s history, WWE has changed its product catering to the audience at the time. From the hard-hitting Attitude Era to the current generation of Superstars, shows like Raw and SmackDown have altered the storylines told and the wrestlers that represent the brand to the viewer’s favor. This change of narrative is exactly what 2K

While not every game in the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS lineup has fully utilized the second screen, no series has better or more consistently emphasized the possibilities than Etrian Odyssey. Playing to the insatiable nerdiness of building a detailed map while you explore dungeons, no other series speaks to the inner Dungeons & Dragons

Over two years ago, Turn 10 Studios released Forza Motorsport 6. Many consider that title to be still the best in the Motorsport series. The latest installment has some big shoes to fill, but I am happy to say that Forza Motorsport 7 does not disappoint its star-studded lineage. Visually, Forza Motorsport 7 is alluring at

Over the course of my time with Cuphead, which ranged somewhere in the realm of 7-10 hours, I was both captivated by its beauty and ready to chuck my controller into a wall at some points. Cuphead, as much as its been lauded for its astonishing visuals, has also built up a reputation as an especially difficult

I’ve always enjoyed a good racing game. Although it isn’t my favorite genre by any stretch of the imagination, there is just something about the thrill that racing games provide that match no other genre.

Do you remember the Culdcept series? The last the West saw of the series was an Xbox 360 exclusive called Culdcept Saga in 2008.

While Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver released in North America on Game Boy Color only about a year-and-a-half after I was born, that never stopped me from playing them. After being introduced to the series through Pokémon Sapphire, I have since played at least one of every Generation’s mainline entries, and my love for the series has

The original SteamWorld Dig has always felt out of place on the indie scene — a game that’s history almost embodies the gameplay found within it. From humble beginnings, the title started as a Nintendo 3DS eShop exclusive, with no clear motivation to move into a larger platform. Yet, after months-and-months of heaped praise from

Destiny 2 is lightyears beyond its predecessor. The introduction of an actual antagonist, story missions that provide meaningful content and deliver it in a way that is fun to experience, and diverse means of acquiring loot for your Guardian throughout make the game a joy to play from start to finish. While it isn’t without

Picture this: you’re a detective and you’ve just received word that your partner is missing and in the heads of an unknown suspect. Your head is clouded with the realization that you may never see him again and all you want to do is get him back by any means possible. So what do you
