By Kimari Rennis After playing Arms during a New York Videogame Critics Circle mentoring event, I am convinced that 2017 is the year for Nintendo. Arms is a scifi boxing game that gives players the freedom to develop tactics, make up new strategies, analyze gameplay, and compete against friends, family, and adults alike. With a…
By Kimari Rennis There’s no doubt about it. Portal Knights is the newest entry to my “games I’m addicted to” list. Developed by Keen Games and published by 505, Portal Knights is a Minecraft-esque adventure role playing game. It’s chock full of of content, and more content continues to be added.

It was the kind of rain that would either anger you or wake you to a deeper realization, like a water torture that moved to water torpor to wet zen: a watery mind warper. In Reykjavik, it was your choice, yours alone. In this case,…

As a seasoned critic, I actually can’t remember when Blizzard was last in the city to do a dog and pony show for journalists. Almost certainly, they haven’t been in town in this way…
By Jeffrey Mizrahi What’s up, Circle readers! Jeffrey here – with my first ever Roundup. Just when I think finals week couldn’t get any worse, my PS4’s disc drive went kaput and spits out every disc I throw at it! I think I’ll take it as a sign to study more… Don’t forget we still…
