HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT gets lost in time despite some hot gameplay. Snappy musou combat set in the TEARS OF THE KINGDOM universe is shackled by a flat story campaign that fails to deliver.

Screaming was one of the first things Nom did when she was born, and she was a natural. So when they first tried the Hyper X Quadcast 2 and found she could scream insanely loud with no distortion, both Nom and their inner child were pretty heckin’ delighted.
