Game On
Despite brevity, ‘Walking Dead’ full of intriguing characters
“400 Days” does not mark the return of the acclaimed “Walking Dead” video-game franchise. It serves as a mere interlude until the second set of episodes begins sometime later this year.
‘Luigi U’ packs fun, but where’s Mario?
You see, “New Super Luigi U” doesn’t simply put Luigi in the spotlight. Instead, Nintendo remade the wildly popular “New Super Mario Bros.” game for the Wii U with Luigi as the star — and Mario oddly (and eerily) missing.
‘Deadpool’ a button-mashing mishmash

I must say: What a rebound for the “Call of Juarez” franchise.
‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ console release doesn’t measure up
Less than six months ago, “Resident Evil 6” arrived and disappointed both franchise fans and general shooting-game audiences alike, and left Capcom searching for a boost to keep one of its flagship franchises afloat.
‘Star Trek’ boldly warp-speeds into a brick wall
