Review Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered (PS5) - Definitive Package Closes Out the First Chapter of Lara Croft Adventures

Gods, angels, and mummies

Storied developer Aspyr has been knocking it out of the park recently. It followed the first three Tomb Raider remasters with an update of the beloved Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver games.

Review Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered (PS5) - PlayStation Classics Return in a Deserved Revival

The soul remains

When you think back on the Soul Reaver games, you think about their atmosphere, their tone, and that often immaculate voice acting. What you don't necessarily think about, is how awkward and clumsy they were to actually play — and ultimately, those same ups and downs apply to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered. To...

Mini Review Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - A Wonderful Treasure from Star Wars' Glory Days

Jedi business

Coming hot off the heels of the acclaimed Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy is a surprisingly robust experience given its short development cycle. Stepping into the boots of Jaden Korr rather than the series’ usual protagonist Kyle Katarn makes for an interesting change of pace. You play as a student, learning...

Review Next Up Hero (PS4)

Holding out for a hero
