News Underhero Is a Turn-Based RPG Platformer That Turns the Genres Upside-Down
Turn the other cheek
How about this, then? Underhero is pitched as a turn-based RPG platformer… Without the, er, turns.

Review Super Blood Hockey - Streets of Rage Meets Ice Hockey
Bloody H.E. Double Hockey Sticks
When it comes to hockey games on the PlayStation 4, it’s relatively slim pickings. 2K has been out of the game for quite a while now, and EA’s monopoly has resulted in each annual NHL release offering up mediocre titles that haven’t changed in a decade.

Review Fall of Light: Darkest Edition
Keep the lights off
Developer RuneHeads is one year old, fronted by just two people, and based in Italy. Combined, these three factors make Fall of Light: Darkest Edition’s release on PS4 a surprising one thanks to the speed at which it has arrived, as well as the lack of staff on board to manage the port. Unfortunately though, after releasing to...
