Reviews of Aspyr Games
Review Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered (Switch) - A Fascinating But Inessential Second Collection
The good, the bad, and the ugly
It seems like an absurd notion these days, but after Tomb Raider made its debut in 1996, developer Core Design pumped out six mainline entries over the next eight years – six. It’s true that teams were able to turn projects around much more quickly in those days, as evidenced by franchises such as Resident Evil...
Review Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles (Switch) - Uncivilised But Not Unenjoyable
"Now I am the (re)master"
Always two, there are. No more. No less. Master Yoda's wise words may have rung true for the Sith, but it couldn't be further from the rate at which Star Wars games were being pumped out in the early 2000s. Some showed promise (Episode I: Racer, Battle for Naboo) while others were as dull as The Phantom Menace's trade...
Soul survivor
The blood-soaked jewels in the crown of a storied cult franchise, Soul Reaver and its sequel were praised on release for original gameplay and stellar visuals. Gorgeous gothic fantasies, co-written and directed by industry luminary Amy Hennig, they followed the exploits of vampire lord Kain’s fallen lieutenant, Raziel. These games...
Review Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (Switch) - A Faithful Remaster For Jango Fett, Warts And All
Mandabore
In the early 2000s, the Star Wars universe was expanding. While the prequel trilogy was setting its sights on Anakin Skywalker's epic arc from good to evil (or from 'Yippee’-ing child actor to underappreciated grown-up actor, depending on your point of view), LucasArts turned to the video game scene to provide some 'wider reading' for...
Review Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection (Switch) - Riddled With Issues, This Is
Playing this made us Saddlefront
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection should have been a slam dunk. Take two of the most beloved Star Wars games ever made and their DLC, touch them up a bit, add modern multiplayer support, and release them. Easy money, right? You’d think so, but the reality is that Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is...
Review Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Switch) - The Best Way To Rediscover A Gaming Idol
When old becomes new
Not many game franchises manage to ascend to the status of ‘iconic’, but Tomb Raider is undoubtedly one of them. Despite the original trilogy being released for multiple platforms, Lara Croft quickly became synonymous with the PS1, standing toe-to-toe with Crash Bandicoot as one of the console’s mascots. Since then, of...
