Rise of the Tomb Raider, the sequel to the 2013 action-adventure game Tomb Raider, is here and is only available on Xbox One and Xbox 360 this holiday season. Whereas Tomb Raider’s focus was on building Lara’s character into the strong woman that she would become, Rise of the Tomb Raider returns the series back to the roots of tomb raiding. Featuring high-octane action, stunning environments, a revamped crafting system, and a stealthier Lara—Rise of the Tomb Raider sets out to push the envelope on the Xbox One and Xbox 360.

The game Putty Squad has a pretty screwy life cycle.  Originally released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo in PAL (outside North America) regions, it had review copies released for the Amiga, but Ocean Entertainment started to move away from publishing, and never released it.  Almost two decades passed, and Putty Squad was almost released for Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita and then FINALLY debuted for Amiga last year.  Putty Squad is now available in North America for Playstation 4, having been a rest of the world launch title.  Then, it will be released on Playstation 3 and Vita at the end of this month.  Was that confusing enough?  Hopefully the review isn’t.  Click on to read about Putty Squad.
