It’s been three years since we last saw a Tekken game, but almost 12 years since the last Tag installment. The series itself has been considered one of the best 3D fighters available on the market. With the critical acclaim of the last two games in the series and the overall hype of the game surrounding the release of Tag Tournament 2, would this game live up to the expectations that everyone had for it?

Three years ago, Batman: Arkham Asylum redefined superhero games, licensed games and even action games. We haven’t seen anyone attempt to re-create what Arkham Asylum did and pull it off as successfully. Arkham City proved that the formula still works, and the addition of an open world added a lot to an already great formula.

With the release of Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Junction Point is hoping to recapture the magic from the first game while improving on some of the fundamental issues that plagued the original. It is clear, however, that this formula is more flawed than I originally realized. READ MORE
