Abstract: Copywriters that are often considered the low men on the totem pole, working long thankless hours in order to craft the descriptive text for laundry detergent ads. But while crafting sales copy isn't the most glamorous position, it does take skill, as evi...
Abstract: In an age where annual installments are a normality in gaming, waiting 20 years for a sequel seems preposterous. And yet the last time we guided the Pit on his own personal journey was in 1991's Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters on the original Game Bo...
Abstract: Of all Nintendo's classic franchises, Kid Icarus is one that has sorely been lacking in love, with protagonist Pit's failing to make even a playable Super Smash Bros. appearance until Brawl rolled around in 2008. However, that all changed when the 3D...
Abstract: When Kid Icarus: Uprising was revealed at E3 2010 and subsequently shown off at other trade shows and events, there were often more questions than answers. The demos were just timed affairs that highlighted Sin & Punishment-esque sequences. It didn’t s...

Tells a classic story with panache, intelligence and an abundance of humour. Challenging, surprisingly deep gameplay. Fast-paced, entertaining multiplayer. A lot of options for the completionist. Looks and sounds fantastic.
Controls can be unwieldy and uncomfortable. May be a little too unforgiving at the higher difficulty levels.
Abstract: Kid Icarus: Uprising is an interesting beast. A new entry in an ancient Nintendo franchise that hadn’t seen a new game in more than 20 years, its development was headed up by Masahiro Sakurai (the Smash Bros. guy) - something which is supremely evident...
