Letting the AI take over put me in the director's seat of a high intensity post-fantasy anime, and I'm never going back.

Superbly polished, 'Nier Replicant' reminds us that rough edges can be as important as intentions.

A landmark anime that immortalized a generic fantasy story through the power of loving imitation gets the metroidvania treatment.

An intriguing premise and a clever idea for a visual style go badly wrong in this ambitious but clueless sci-fi murder mystery.

It's only a matter of time before Sony kills access to PS3 and Vita games entirely.

The newest DONTNOD game is the result of pushing for better representation, only to have the edges of identities filed down and wrapped in Nerf foam. 

Ghosts with weightless cameras, photographing lifeless worlds.

We regret to inform you the world did not end, and we're doing this all again.

Photography isn't just about posing the perfect shot, it's about working within limitations to capture a moment.

Fun stealth mechanics and a passable photo mode can't free the series from the baggage of its core fantasy: Lara Croft is still just a thief playing at being a savior.

In a game very much about fathers and sons, the role of a mother is to be invisible or toxic.

Armed with our virtual cameras in our virtual worlds, we can create the images we want to believe in.
