Not so super after all

One Piece: Unlimited World RED review

The Straw Hats return with renewed strength

This year's earliest One Piece video game offering, Romance Dawn, was a disaster. With a poorly integrated story, uninspiring gameplay, and a flawed battle system, there was little to redeem the game and probably damaged players' hopes of a good RPG-esque One Piece. Fortunately for us, the fourth installment... read more

Former Factor 5 President Reveals Cancelled Rogue Squadron Game for the Wii

The force wasn't strong with this one

It's a fact- During the course of a console's lifespan, many games never see the light of day. There are several reasons for this: A game proves too costly to make, the developers shift their focus to other projects, or perhaps the game is unable to attract a publisher.

From Civilization to Warcraft, I've played my fair share of PC and console strategy games. Enter Cubemen 2, the sequel to 3 Sprockets' 2012 title, a hybrid... read more
