Tamarin aims to recapture the glory days of 3D platformers with the help of some of Rare veterans.
Some of the Rare employees responsible for the studio's N64 golden age titles are getting the band back together to work on a new platformer called Tamarin.

Last week, our contributors broke down their individual top lists for the year in movies, but today, we’ve turned to our gaming crew to highlight the best games of the year. Once again, it’s a difficult list to narrow down, but we forced ourselves to stick to only five choices:

There was definitely no shortage of great games this year, and even a new console (the Switch), to choose from this year. While most of the “big” games were able to meet expectations, some fell short (looking at you Mass Effect: Andromeda), while others exceeded all the hype. Obviously,...
