Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain Video Game Review

With a wide open world full of story-driven missions, random encounters, and even plants to collect, the third-person stealth-action game Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC) plays like a sneaky version of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt if you swapped magic for machine guns. But while that might sound like a big departure to fans on this long-running series, what this really does is adapt the classic Metal Gear Solid formula to a engaging new setting, one that helps make this one of the most compelling games of the year.

Zombi Game Review (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC)

When the first-person survival horror game ZombiU came out in 2012, it showed how the WiiU’s tablet-like controller could be used for some inventive games. Which makes it all the more ironic that Zombi — a version of ZombiU for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC — is just as good as the original, even though it’s played with a more typical controller.

“Until Dawn” Game Review

Ever since Don Bluth made Dragon’s Lair in 1983, people have tried to make video games that were more like interactive movies, with varying degrees of success. But while Until Dawn (PlayStation 4) mostly manages to get the “interactive” part right, it doesn’t do so well in the “movie” department.

Exclusive Interview: “To-Fu Fury” Producer Darren Anderson & Executive Producer David Holmes

Heroes in video games are usually strong and sure, steadfast in their resolve, as well as tough. All things you can’t say about the titular hero in To-Fu Fury, a puzzling, side-scrolling platformer for iPhone, iPad, Fire phones, and Fire tablets that features a spongy piece of bean curd. But in talking to the game’s producer, Darren Anderson, and Amazon Games Studio executive producer David Holmes, it seems being squishy and flexible can have its advantages.

“Onechanbara Z2 Chaos” Review

Once you get past puberty into maturity, you realize that being sexual is easy, but being sexy, truly sexy, takes real smarts and skill. It’s the difference between a trashy sex novel like E.L. James’ Fifty Shades Of Gray and an erotic classics like Pauline Reage’s Story Of O. Unfortunately, it’s not something the makers of Onechanbara Z2 Chaos (PlayStation 4) — an acrobatic hack & slash action game in which women with big curves and small bikinis take on hordes of zombies — seem to understand. Though there is some fun to be had if you’re a fan of mindless swordplay, it’s hard not to think how much better this could’ve been if they had spent as much time on the gameplay as they did the character’s outfits.
