Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy – Review (3DS)

Posted By Michael Leparc On December 16, 2011 at 11:20 am Comments Off on Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy – Review (3DS)

That’s actually not a slight towards the game, but somewhat of a compliment. The word “Legacy” at the end means exactly what it implies. Instead of chasing the audience of Modern Warfare, the 3DS version sticks to Ace Combat’s fictional roots. The result is a no-nonsense arcade flight sim with a pure focus on the dogfighting. Unfortunately this also leaves the title lacking a bit of depth.

Posted By David Klein On December 15, 2011 at 2:34 pm Comments Off on The Legend of Zelda The Skyward Sword – Review (Wii)

The Legend of Zelda has become more than just a name but is now a legend in itself. Every instalment of the series tries to do something new giving a brand new experience every time.
