I did empathize somewhat with …

Capcom Japan's decision to let the Cambridge-based Ninja Theory studio run DmC at a relatively torpid 30 frames per second has met with mixed responses. Gametrailers say that the gameplay feels responsive and Capcom have rallied themselves valiantly against …

Dishonored is a bit of a surprise. It takes concepts from a few prominent games, but is distinct enough to stand-alone and even surpasses certain elements of those titles. The controls manage to put to shame years of FPS-action games, …

Lately, I've found myself getting into discussions online about whether or not Papo & Yo is a "good game." I'm not going to say I convinced myself that the game would be universally loved, however, I did believe that …
