Kameo’s Steve Burke, too I need to take some deep breaths here. Former Rare developers arecreating a spiritual successorto “those fondly remembered platforming adventures we built in the past,” and they’ve brought on Grant Kirkhope, David Wise, and Steve Burke to contribute music to the project. The soundtracks toDonkey Kong Country(Wise) andBanjo-Kazooie(Kirkhope) rank among my favorites in all of gaming. Magical. And while I have painful memories of my launch-day Xbox 360 struggling to runKameo: Elements of Powerwithout red-ringing, Burke’s score was pleasant....

I figured it was only a matter of time before EA Sports started a tennis franchise. Hell, I always wondered why they hadn’t yet done so — in fact, as far as I’m aware, EA Sports has never made a tennis videogame. They’ve got franchises for sports ranging from cricket to rugby, so why not tennis, which is an immensely popular sport around the world (and, more importantly, one that the North American market actually gives a damn about)?...

Some might fall to the blade, but you’ll need something decidedly more cerebral to handle the others. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor‘s Wriath has the abilities for the job. The Wraith gives the Ranger the ability to get inside the heads of his enemies to understand their strengths and fears....

[Seymour embarks on a journey of swords, discovery, the desert, and cross-dressing. I really hope the comments turn out alright but I liked seeing this unique view of one of the year’s biggest games. ~Strider] Breath of the Wildbecame a very special game for me over the course of my first 30-40 hours. It wasn’t just the high-quality open world design or delightful quests, but one unexpectedly engaging facet. A facet that was brought on to me via a short strand of these aforementioned quests within the desert wastes....
