The city is yours to explore, filled with funky vibes and infectious energy that’ll stick with you long after DJ Cyber is taken down.

While it wears its inspiration on its sleeve, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk manages to evoke a style all its own with its always-stylish REP.

Hi-Fi RUSH


Released at the beginning of the year, Tango Gameworks and Bethesda Softworks combine the rhythm genre with the world of hack-and-slash titles in Hi-Fi RUSH.

Players will follow the story of wannabe rocker Chai as they take on Vandelay Industries in a world filled with sweet, sweet tunes. However, players must attack to the beat, leading to parrying, fighting, and action that encourages a keen ear. Of course, the game’s a stylish one too, featuring timeless cel-shaded graphics filled with plenty of charm.

Hi-Fi Rush is a stone-cold stunner, one with gameplay in lockstep with the beat. While finding one’s groove takes some getting used to, those with a keen ear will be in tune in no time flat.Hi-Fi RUSH Review, Casey Scheld

Moving Out 2


Friends usually have to coax their friends to move with beer and pizza, but SMG Studio, Devm Games, and Team17’s Moving Out 2 will encourage friends to help with moving.

This party game has players moving appliances, furniture, and countless other objects as part of F.A.R.T. No need to be gentle; as long as it gets to its designated spot, anything goes. This is far from a simple operation; worlds get more extravagant and silly as time goes on. For those looking to cause havoc, Moving Out 2 will be a hit at your next shindig.

Between its humor and its off-the-wall action, Moving Out 2 is sure to be a hit at one’s next shindig. Those flying solo will have fun, but be sure to bring a friend or three along to get the best Smooth Moves experience.Moving Out 2 Review, Casey Scheld
