Tweet The Force was somewhat strong with Soul Calibur IV, but it was held back by a combination of controversial guest characters, egregious DLC, and a fighting system that wasn’t very friendly to high-level tournament play.  Three years later, Project Soul is back with a new title in the...

Tweet TNT Racers is basically a throwback to the top-down arcade racers of the 8-bit days. If you’ve ever played a kart racer, or an arcade racer from the early 90s, you’ll know what to expect. Think of RC Pro AM or Rock n’ Roll Racing for a comparison. The sad thing however is that TNT...
