I’ve been waiting a long time for more Sharknife. Corey Lewis’ east-meets-west adventure series seethes with video game logic in the same way that the Scott Pilgrim books do—from label-mate Bryan Lee O’Malley. I first read the adventures of the skateboarding robo-ninja hero in 2005 and have been pining away for a sequel ever since.…

Whether it’s the Marvel vs. Capcom series, X-Men vs. Street Fighter or Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, the powers-that-be at the Oska-based publisher will pit Ryu and crew against anybody if…
Going into Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, I’d worried that I hadn’t played the DLC that followed the 2010 game that introduced Remedy’s literary action hero.

I’d never heard of Animal Kaiser before seeing this video but, after seeing animals doing backflip bodyslams off the top rope of a wrestling ring, I can only weep at the fact that this game isn’t in my life.
