Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India Review

For better or for worse Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India feels like a reskin of its predecessor. So while there is a pretty new coat of paint on the game, it still plays virtually identical. Thankfully, that means the stealth gameplay is solid, and the platforming is still a fun to watch unfurl. Even if there are no surprises, there is still a lot to be fun to be had in Assassin's Creed's excursion to India.

Hyper Void Review

In 1981 Atari put out Tempest. The vortex shooter added a new twist on the genre by allowing players to move in a 3D space. This is all due to Tempest's signature tube design, and it's been imitated in spiritual successors such as TxK and Space Giraffe in recent years. The latest game to draw inspiraton from the arcade classic is IN|Framez's Hyper Void.

Lucas Pope's PC title was a fascinating look into the stress of working as an immigration officer and was one of the most memorable games to come out in the past decade. So, what happens when you take the same basic setup, but replace immigrants with adorable animals?

Temple Of Yog Review

While it doesn't fulfill its initial promise, Temple of Yog is still a unique rogue-like that you can't find on any other console. If you're a Wii U owner, you owe it to yourself to check out one of the few games that actually takes advantage of the GamePad.
