[Update:It’s right here!] At Destructoid, we believe that transparency in consumer advocacy is of the utmost importance. When a review isn’t going to be timely, we like to keep everyone apprised of the situation. We may have just one opinion out of a whole lot on the Internet, but there’s a contingent that takes our thoughts into consideration when making purchasing decisions. As such, we like to be open about the review process, even if that means simply saying that it’s not ready yet....

Saying all the nice things in the world about it doesn’t seem to make a difference....

Feeling like playing an old game, but not from the times when we talked about video games as “8-bit” or “16-bit”? I have some solid recommendations of great titles released on Steam in 2015 that are not as obvious asThe Witcher 3orFallout 4. These ones I’ll suggest are easy to pick up, cheap, and were decent hits when they released, with two of them becoming long-term franchises years later.

Assassin’s Creed Shadowsis just around the corner, releasing on March 20, and reviews are already in. There was a lot of speculation leading up toAssassin’s Creed Shadowsrelease, especially regarding Ubisoft’s depiction of Japanese culture in early trailers.
