Anthem Impresses Gamers Sliding Into Release
GiN Javelin Pilot Jevon Jenkins has taken to the skies, and the fields, caves and cities of the pending Anthem game from BioWare and EA Games. His beta review tells us what we can expect when the game releases on Friday, and it looks like it will be very good.
Going Through the Motions in Hazardous Space
Billy’s Time Wasting this week is all about a game called Hazardous Space that tries to mix up the rogue-like genre. But does it succeed?
New Vesperia Lives Up To Its Definitive Title
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is much more than a remake of the classic game from 2008. Instead, it’s the cumulation of new game modes, dungeons, mini-games, sounds, bosses and other extras added over the years. And it has a great new HD look as well, making it one solid package.

Bringing More Fire With NASCAR Heat 3
Monster and 704 Games have done a great job with the NASCAR series. After stumbling a bit out of the gate a couple years ago, their follow-up racer was a big improvement. Now, NASCAR Heat 3 ups the ante even further.
Another Eden Is a Win for Mobile JRPGs
Billy’s time wasting this week covers Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space, which is the best mobile JRPG to date.
