Livelock Review - Robots Be Crazy
Twin-stick shooters have become an acquired taste: a genre only sought after by those wanting to relive the glory days of games where you destroyed everything in sight, often in an isometric view and with your pals (or alone, if you so chose).

Abzû Review - Gone Swimming
From the first impressions of Abzû, announced at E3 2014, it was clear this wasn't going to be any sort of typical gaming experience.

Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X
Who would have thought that the Xeno series, which began life as the beloved Xenogears on the PSX, would take so many forms throughout the years?
