The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - 3DS Review
This game is a long time in coming. Having originally picked up A Link Between Worlds upon release and wanting to do nothing more than play the sequel to my favorite Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, life got in the way. Fast forward three months and I decided to pick it back up and restart from the beginning while heading out on a trip. The result was a bit of a sun burn and a hugely satisfying journey.
The Windwalkers Kickstarter looks like it could be interesting
Below we have the press release from Forge Animations, the team working to help create this game. They have some pretty ambitious goals here, but there is plenty of potential as well.
Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition
Heroes of Might and Magic III - HD Edition can be approached from two different angles, as I see it. The first is on its own merits, which is to say, a turn based strategy game that has just been released on Steam, while the other approach is to view it relative to the original variation of the title.
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds - PC Review
Right off the bat, Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds tells me one thing: I’m out of touch with the Xbox Marketplace because I should have played this two years ago!
Recently released on Steam, Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds is a side scrolling brawler that supports up to four players in a well-designed, fast paced, Scott Pilgrim-esque beat-em-up that kept me coming back for more.

Evolve is here!
We have been keeping an eye out for this one for quite some time now. Don't believe us?
We talked about the Alpha numbers as well as when the alpha become available, not to mention the DLC plans and more. This is a big release.
Well, now the big day is here - so how about one more trailer and a bit more news?

Relic Knights: Shattered Sword & Black Diamond - Tabletop and Board Games Review
February 10, 2015Black Diamond, Ninja Division, Relic Knights, Shattered Sword, Tabletop and Board Games Review
Relic Knights was a Kickstarter project that absolutely demolished its goal; posted by CoolMiniorNot with an initial goal of $20,000, Relic Knights landed just over $900,000 in pledges and was successfully funded launched in 2012 and since then has developed quite the cult following. Relic Knights is a sci-fi strategy game eschewing either the standard "wargaming" concept like Robotech RPG Tactics or Warhammer 40,000 as well as the standard "board game" concepts like you will find in traditional tabletop games. Using unpainted and unassembled miniatures that range from roughly 30mm to 60mm, you can choose one of six factions to wage war against two or more of your friends.
Sentinels of the Multiverse - PC Review
I have a huge weakness for comics. I also enjoy card games. There are loads of video games out there that use comic book characters, but most of the time these just feel like derivative action titles with very little owed to their page turning origins. This video game feels much truer to its roots, with visuals that leap off of the 'page' and excellent game mechanics to create a unique and entertaining experience.
The latest Paperbound trailer looks like crazy fun
When Pierre-Yves had a chance to get his hands on a preview build of Paperbound, he could not say enough good things about its particular brand of frantic fun. The latest trailer from Dissident Logic shows enough of the gameplay that has PY anxiously awaiting its arrival.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 - PC Review
The Hyperdimension titles stormed our shores about 5 years ago, bringing Hyperdimension Neptunia to the PlayStation 3 back in 2010/2011 and we here at Chalgyr's Game Room have long been fans of the series. Eschewing the generally heavy themes that one finds in most JRPG games, the Hyperdimension games have always walked along the lines of comically absurd and intriguingly deep. Taking place in a virtual world called "Gamindustri" during the "Console War" where Console Patron Units (aka CPUs) are fighting for supremacy. The four primary CPUs are Neptune (The Purple Heart) the CPU of Planeptune who symbolizes a non-existent next-generation Sega console; there is Blanc (The White Heart) the CPU of Lowee, which as you can guess by the name, represents Nintendo's Wii home console.
Double Dragon - Retro Reflections
Having recently had a chance to play the classic Double Dragon arcade games with the Double Dragon Trilogy on Steam, I felt it was probably time to take a look back at the game on the NES. This was one of my favorite titles growing up, even if it was something of a pale imitation of the arcade original.
Shadows of Esteren prepares for several upcoming product releases
A new video game? A music album? Gaming accessories and more? All of these based on a horror scenario? Sign me up - I've always had a weak spot for horror movies, games and books. Hot on the heels of yet another successful Kickstarter and Ulule campaign, Agate RPG has some pretty big announcements to share.
Criminal Girls: Invite Only - PS Vita Review
Criminal Girls: Invite Only is something of a mixed bag in that JRPG fans will likely enjoy the solid level design and unique combat system, while anime fans might enjoy the fan service that could very well make other gamers somewhat uncomfortable. The visual style is actually very appealing with complimentary music that suited the game from start to finish, but unfortunately cute but underdeveloped characters and a middling story take some of the shine off of what could have been a great JRPG and leave it standing as a merely good one.
Afterglow Nur Premium Wireless Headset - Hardware Review
February 06, 2015Hardware Review, PDP, PDP Afterglow Nur PS4/PS3 Headset, Performance Designed Products
Over the past year we have reviewed many of the different Afterglow headsets, from the highly adequate AGU1.s headset to some of their later offerings like the Kral and Karga headsets. Needless to say, we are very big fans. Affordable price points and exceptional quality while being a bit more on the flashy side, the Afterglow gear is designed with the flashier gamer in mind, as the gear contains signature lighting and an exposed-circuitry appeal. With the release of the Nur, PDP's newest offering for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC, their signature looks are still there, but with a more refined design in an attempt to appeal to the aging gaming crowds. Does it work?
