QCF: Yoshi's Wooly World

intendo's platformers are the things of legend, so when the Big-N sees fit to release a new entry to one of its most beloved action platforming series, even I'll take notice. In the past, I had be fairly well entertained by the Yoshi's Island series, though I will contest that the best is still the first; Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is by far the greatest platformer on the Super NES, leaving huge shoes that Yoshi's Island DS and other later successors can't hope to fill.

And while it doesn't quite do it, Yoshi's Wooly World, now available for the Wii U home console, is as close as we've come to matching the original's brilliance.

PPR Presents Play Play: Ultonius: A Tale of Petty Revenge

here’s a fine line between appreciating nostalgia and what it is to you, and celebrating it with a devotion that holds it to the elevated expectations of modern day standards.

Ultonius: A Tale of Petty Revenge, is that weird game example what happens when you blur that line; making it that hot mess that tries to have its old cake, and eat it too.

Which is what makes it kind of cool and obnoxious all the same time—it’s really weird.

Ser and George mull the game over and the subject of old arcade games as we boot up this action title from Last Dimension on the latest installment of Play Play; enjoy!

QCF: Rise of The Tomb Raider

ith a move that has controversially polarized whatever prospects it may have held with its respective audience since the initial announcement of the title, Phil Spencer declared that the sequel to Crystal Dynamics’s reboot of the iconic treasure-chasing heroine would be an Xbox exclusive for both console iterations of the 360, and the One.

Granted, it’s a limited claim on the property as the exclusivity is timed until late 2016, but it was one that Microsoft banked on giving them an advantage over the PlayStation that they didn’t have before; and some external circumstances not withstanding—they were right.

Rise of The Tomb Raider exemplifies every quality that defines what a good sequel should aspire to be, and it definitely exceeds every expectation its predecessor had set before it.

We also talk some mad shit on Pecan Pie flavored M&M’s, the pronunciation of “GIF”, and the very first Witcher game—it’s all the non-sequitur shit you’d expect, and yet, not…expect? (Because, you know, non-sequiturs, and… oh screw it, you get what we mean!)
