Tekken 6
Tekken 6 introduces a quest mode similar to Soul Calibur's which is an update of Tekken Force, their attempt at a Streets Of Rage style scrolling beat 'em up that didn't really work. It still doesn't quite work but it's an okay subgame that acts as a way of earning extra fighters and items for the tournament mode...which is better but a little brief.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus
The Perfect Pokemon Game: Aipom’s Paw Edition
The ‘Pokemon’ franchise has been going strong since the original games, “Pokemon Red/Green” debuted in Japan as Super Gamboy Enhanced titles way back in 1996. Unfortunately for the developer, Game Freak, they’ve also been in the same repetitive rut since 1996. The drill with ‘Pokemon’ games has always been that there are two complementary versions released simultaneously, which are largely identical, but feature a handful of different obtainable pokemon, thus encouraging trading between players with opposite versions. Likewise, the structure and plot-lines have been completely rote and formulaic, in which a kid or young tween decides to travel across their country, battling their slowly-acquired team of pokemon against 8 Gym …

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Before becoming a full-fledged developer, the British-based The Chinese Room began life as a small team modding Half-Life 2. One of these mods, Dear Esther, developed a cult following and in 2012 was released as its own game and gained a fair bit of acclaim itself. Although many may dismiss "walking simulators" as a poor-mans attempt at gaming, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is far from boring. While it may not take the hours upon hours that modern AAA titles demand, the game makes up for its short run time by delivering an impact that will resonate long after the credits have rolled.
Looks and Stuff: Taking place in a small countryside village (the fictional Yaughton in Shropshire) and surrounding areas, Everybody's Gone to the …

Dark Souls
Death Comes Easy, Victory Comes Hard
You play the role of the Chosen Undead, a cursed undead human who escapes the undead asylum in the kingdom of Lordran, who embarks on a perilous journey battling powerful foes, and must decide whether to rekindle the flame and prolong the age of fire or embrace the coming age of darkness.
Presentation
Dark Souls presents a dark atmospheric world, with intricate level design, and countless areas to explore. The game came out in 2011 on console, and in 2012 on PC, so the graphics are quite dated. I installed a graphics update known as DSFix, that improved the graphics dramatically. Definitely a must to enjoy the game fully.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Dark Souls is challenging, rewarding, and unforgiving. Simple as that. I chose a …

Demon's Souls Remastered
Difficult, Frustrating, and also Rewarding
Demon's Souls is a remake of a game with the same name on PS3. It's a beautiful, difficult, and rewarding game that lacks when it comes to controls and explaining things.
I had never played a game in the "Souls" series before starting this so when I began I only knew a couple things. First, the series is pretty popular and second, that it's viewed as extremely difficult. By the time I finished I understood both of these things very well.
The story of this game isn't that intriguing. In a land called Boltearia an evil presence is taking over. A fog is enveloping the area and there are evil creatures and demons strung about. Once you're in there is no escape and it appears there's a evil being making people like you kill …
