2025 has seen plenty of new games, but as is the case every year, there are always those that stand out. We’ve played through plenty of new titles, spin-offs, sequels, prequels, and games that have generated discussion about genre as a whole. As the year ends, we’d like to highlight a few of our favorites. […]
Back in 1993, Mortal Monday hit the world and the arcade behemoth Mortal Kombat came to the home console. Now, over 20 years later, Digital Eclipse and Atari bring us Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, a curated collection celebrating the early years of the gory fighter with titles from the arcade, home, and handheld console releases. […]
Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is quite the peculiarity within Nihon Falcom’s catalog.

Throw in some change, and let’s go first to three. Crime Fighter Pocket […]
It has been 26 years since the Wolves last threw down in Southtown. Although the original Mark of the Wolves was overlooked at the time for the more popular SNK titles like Samurai Shodown or King of Fighters, the world made noise when Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves was announced a few years back, […]
We are in the middle of an SNK resurgence, and I couldn’t be happier. Between new releases and rereleases, we have been eating well lately. Joining the group of SNK rereleases is The King of Fighters XIII, but with rollback netcode. This has gone well for previous fighting games such as Guilty Gear XRD/AC+ and […]
It is another year and another release for the king of the anime tie-in, Dragon Ball. Fans around the world are offering their energy to Bandai Namco as they take on the test of producing the next contender in Dragon Ball’s Budokai Tenkaichi series. Put down your Xenoverse 2 and your FighterZ; it’s time for […]
