Ubisoft is trying to bring platforming back into the spotlight with a revival of their Playstation-era hero, Rayman. The cartoony French mascot debuted in 1995 and enjoyed some popularity, he hasn't been seen in his own title almost a decade. The Raving Rabbids series began as a Rayman game, but spun off into their own series, leaving Rayman behind. Now he's back in a gorgeous retro-styled platformer that returns to the series' 2D roots. It's been showered with accolades by reviewers and gamers alike since its release, becoming something of an underdog success story. This week, Ubisoft put the game on sale for 50% off, and I decided to see what all the hype was about.

INDIE SPOTLIGHT: DEAR ESTHER

Have you ever seen an art film or independent film where you're pretty sure no one actually likes it, they just pretend to in order to sound smart? Honestly that's the only reason I can think of to explain the host of glowing reviews that Dear Esther has received since being released on Steam back in February. While I would not say that Dear Esther is bad, or that I regret my experience playing it, I definitely would not shower it with praise like many reviewers seem to have.
