I don’t want to make too big a deal about this but did you see the way her shoulder knocked those bricks loose??? I’m replaying Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC, and have been appreciating some of the smaller details about the game as I’ve played. Most of the time, when Lara Croft moves…

The Final Fantasy Adventure Remake Is Excellent

This week, Square Enix released Adventures of Mana, a remake of the classic Game Boy action-role-playing game Final Fantasy Adventure.

Nice One, Avengers Academy

Out today, the new free-to-play mobile game where you play as teenager versions of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes has a clever wink at a Nintendo character’s iconic super-attack.

Fan Remakes Street Fighter III‘s Q In 3D

Unlike the main characters, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike’s mysterious Rorschach-esque fighter never got the 3D treatment. Poor Q always remained a 2D sprite and he’s never appeared in any of Capcom’s newer games ,either. So modder Pior Oberson thought it’d be a good idea to make a slick 3D version, with a similar art…
