Ultracore (REVIEW)

It's not very often that gamers have the chance to play or own a never before released retro game. Thanks to Softdistribution, and Strictly Limited Games they get to do just that though. With the release of a reprogrammed 1995 Metroidvania platformer known as, "Ultracore" we get a sneak peek at what could have been. This DICE created game is a unique take on the Metroidvania genre, and attempts to do something different by adding in scoring as well as twin stick shooting. While there are no intros, and story elements can only be found during spaced out character interactions via progress once you learn the mechanics it's an interesting little adventure worth at least a try.

Togawa: Among Shadows (REVIEW)

Looking like something inspired by Don Bluth animated films, and the Mayan apocalypse, "Togawa: Among the Shadows" brings the fight of the light to the armies of darkness through a surviving tribesman known as Chimu. Through Chimu, and his aid that is Kurro we find out that not only has Chimu's tribe been turned into evil spirits by the corruption of Metnal the Voidmonger, but that Chimu is the only thing standing between the growing darkness, and it's intended remaining victims. As Chimu the lightbringer you must utilize your light beam, and spells to exorcise the dark beasts that come at you in seemingly never-ending waves. Ultimately cleansing five shrines at both their respective alters, and the skies above. Your goal, in the end, is to defeat Metnal once and for all. Restoring light, and banishing the darkness forever.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare | Season 4 Battle Pass ...

Season four of Call of Duty's battle pass is well underway. We are several days in beyond a short delay that was caused by certain world events. The new battle pass saw the addition of Price as an unlockable/playable character, and the new unlockable Mil-Sim operator character skins for both factions. Along with that is the usual assortment of single use XP boosts, freebies for freeloaders, and paid for exclusive content. As per usual both the paying, and non-paying players will get the chance to unlock some worthwhile items though the paying players might feel a little short changed by the fact that some of the free items seem like premium quality goods, pass-wise. For ten dollars, or 1,100 COD points that base fee may or may not be worth it for you depending upon what you feel about what you get ...
