It’s touching, and the puzzle side keeps you engaged while your heartstrings are being tugged.

If you like 3D platforming challenges and exploration-based gameplay, Blue Fire is a game you don’t want to miss.

Ryza 2 does little to break the mold, but what it does do is polish the existing formula.
Hitman 3 is a phenomenal closer to what has been an excellent trilogy in a series I hold dear.
It has some rough difficulty jumps, but Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game – Complete Edition is a masterstroke of a beat-em-up.
From people who have never touched Space Invaders to the high score holders of yore, I think there’s a whole lot of good in this package, and it’s worth checking out!
