Sunset Hills review: A beautiful but imperfect story

Ever since I bid farewell to Nico in theSunset Hillsdemo, I’ve often thought about the dapper little dog and his ability to stumble into a series of events that require his unique resolutions. So much promise nestled between the twisting streets of this quaint story, but does the full release deliver on its unspoken oath? Much like Nico’s story, this is a tale of two halves. Although there is much depth to be found, especially after we move into the second chapter of this visually stimulating game, there are multiple aspects that prevent the title from receiving the accolades it should be claiming with ease....

Age of Mythology: Retold review - Godly powers add to an already great formula

I had two major concerns when I started playingAge of Mythology: Retold. The first was how the game had aged in the many years since its first release. Sure, the visuals were getting an upgrade, but much of the game was left intact and since 2002, the RTS genre has grown and evolved. I didn’t have to worry too much about this concern though. After playing through the extensive campaigns - there are three - and seeing all the narratives had to offer, I moved on to skirmish mode and found that everything I loved about the Age of Empires franchise was still here - as good as ever....
