Spyro: Year of the Dragon Reignited

The gameplay roulette brings its share of frustrations, but it also makes Year of the Dragon the most entertaining game in the trilogy.

The material for a deep, strategic experience is all here, but it’s hard to appreciate much of it.

Hard Corps: Uprising combined nearly impossible arcade difficulty with the modern tactic of locking characters behind day-one DLC.

It’s impressive that this formula is still scary even after it’s been imitated to death, but this is an unbelievably frustrating iteration of it.

Battle Out of Hell is a collection of elements dropped from the original game before release, and boy, does it show.

The ideas and story threads of 400 Days deserve to be more than an hour and a half of DLC.

DmC is better than all of the previous Devil May Cry games I’ve played.
