/ Jeff Cater, Video Game Reviews

As Kyle Crane, you’ve got to earn the trust of a few different factions still trapped in Harran. A group of survivors led by a man named Brecken quickly take you in after your arrival and fill you in on how a man named Rais has cordoned off many of the GRE supply drops and has a real knack for brutalizing anyone who opposes him. Soon, the GRE starts running short on time and it’s up to Kyle to smash zombies, burn Rais’ rule and show The Ministry that there’s something worth fighting for in Harran.

Video Game Review: Life is Strange, Episode 1

Time travel isn’t just used as a chance to rethink decisions, either. It’s also necessary to solve the game’s various puzzles. For instance, at one point you need to recover a flash drive that’s in another girl’s dorm room, but it’s being blocked by another student for boy-related reasons. A conversation between the two of you may go nowhere initially, however you’ll pick up information that can be used in a second attempt at the same chat, which gets to the root of the issue.

Video Game Review: Dead Kings DLC

/ Mike Chen, Video Game Reviews

As an apology for the gigantic mess that was Unity’s launch, Ubisoft has offered the formerly premium Dead Kings DLC for free. On the surface, this is a generous offer, as the DLC was previously the highlight of the game’s DLC plan. It’s big, roughly 5-to-6 hours to finish the main post-Unity story, and its map is probably about one-third of the main game’s Paris.

Even with that, the fighting is solid and employs a “Strip” system. Once your opponent’s clothes have a purple mist around them, you are able to hold a button corresponding to their body (Triangle/High, Circle/Mid, “X”/Low) and forcefully yank whatever clothing they’ve got right off of them. While fighting multiple opponents (and you will), you can even string together multiple strips and eventually make everyone’s underwear fly off. Yes, really.

Video Game Review: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX

/ Video Game Reviews

As good as KH II is, however, Birth by Sleep might be the best game in the series. Despite being a PSP game originally, it never feels technically inferior to its PS2 counterpart. More importantly, the prequel features the best, most coherent story in the series, dealing with more interesting themes and concentrating on a cast of original characters (Terra, Aqua and Ventus) along the way. If you’ve had trouble following the story arc of the two main entries, this helps clarify some of the lore.

Video Game Review: LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

/ Video Game Reviews

Collecting and unlocking loads of content has long been one of the LEGO series’ top draws, and on that front Batman 3 features an embarrassment of riches. There is a ton of characters to unlock, hidden items to find (including rescuing Adam West, the original Batman), bricks to hoard and inside jokes to the DC universe to uncover — and that’s written as someone that’s hardly a denizen of the comics, so those that are better versed in the fiction should get even more out of it.
