Wait, this is a follow-up to Sacred 2? Really? Really??

I’ve made it no secret on this website that I’m waiting for some forward-thinking developer to reinvent the classic beat ‘em up genre and bring it into the 21^st century. While some games have come frustratingly close, I’m still waiting for that one shining example of the modern side-scrolling brawler. It’s become clear to me that it’s going to be a long wait, but games like Sacred Citadel at least tiptoe in the right direction.

This generation has gone on so long, people have forgotten what to expect from next gen!

Now that Microsoft has revealed the Xbox One, the stage is finally set and all the players have taken their places.

It's going to be thirty cents for a month on Wii U, and that is a steal.

More stunning confessions from me to you! I didn’t get into the Metroid series until Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion, and didn’t even play Super Metroid until maybe two years after I played Metroid Prime. While the first Prime title took many design inspirations from Super Metroid, I didn’t enjoy Super Metroid at first, mostly because I played it through less than reputable means. Once I got to play it on the Wii Virtual Console, I finally understood why this game is considered an SNES classic. Super Metroid sports great game design, with a wonderful atmosphere unparalleled on any 16-bit system. At only 30 cents on the Wii U eShop until June 16, there’s little reason to not give this excellent title a shot.
