Top 5: Metroidvania Games that I’ve Not Played but Should

Are We All Ready for Uncharted: The Movie?
Earlier this week, writer and director Allen Ungar released a short, live action (and non-monetized) film based on highly popular Uncharted video game series.

Special and Collector’s Editions: What Makes You Want to Upgrade?
Last month Rockstar Games announced its special and ultimate editions of Red Dead Redemption 2. If spending your standard sixty dollars on the regular game isn’t enough, for eighty bucks you can get the special edition that includes a side mission that’s not in the regular game (and one that’s not integral to its story,…
