Chipped plaster and rotting wood gnaw away at the walls. Pocked cobblestones run from shadow to shadow, swallowed by an empty universe. The Void’s open maw hangs overhead, the stench of death upon its hot...
One anime that I have always wanted to get into is Naruto. I've always thought that the character designs were awesome, and who doesn't love the idea of young ninjas in training? Sadly I've never...
Where Destiny originally failed back in 2014, Destiny 2 has surpassed expectations with flying colors. With a relatively robust campaign and a story that's fleshed out within the game (rather than in some grimoire card...
The Danganronpa series always felt like a series that flirted with my heart. An appeal to my gorehound interests? Check. A murder mystery set up with neat mini-games? Check. An aesthetic style that provides a...
I love side-scrolling action games. Anything from the side perspective involving action, platforming, and ninjas gets me pumped. Strider is a fantastic example of a great side-scroller and so with this title being announced, I...
For years, decades even, the concept of young students leading a double life has littered anime and western media. From Sailor Moon to the Persona series, there have always been stories of young people who...
A good roleplaying game is generally made up out of a number of important parts. Firstly, there should be interesting characters, and a great story that drives the player to accomplishing whatever quest they are...
With death comes many feelings-grief, sorrow, sometimes relief, and almost every time, a yearning to change what’s occurred. Naturally, we think about what we could have done and depressingly, what we shouldn’t have done. Never,...
When I first acquired my PlayStation 4, I was pleased to see that instead of a racing game or some military shooter, the game that came WITH my PlayStation just happened to be Knack. Knack...
With enormous, colorful landscapes and challenging puzzles, Obduction is a strong followup to developer Cyan's previous games, including Myst and Riven. For some reason, we didn't get our hands on a copy when Obduction launched on Steam last year. Nevertheless,...
There was a time when extreme sports games were all the rage. It seemed that every developer was in on the genre in some way, having some variety of skateboarding, BMX, or surfing games. Tony...
...Aaaahhh... ...Sorry! I was just thinking of back in 2015. Back when it seemed Telltale had locked down the episodic choose-your-own-adventure genre by riffing off established IPs to tell new tales within the universe. Then...
To say mental health representation in games has been rocky is to describe WW2 as “a minor kerfuffle that ended when America gave Japan a little bit of a slap”. Even if you only stick...
I am a relative newcomer to The Nonary Games series; I started my adventure on Nintendo's DS with Nine Hours, Nine Doors, Nine Persons and found out that I am very bad at this series....
The first console that I ever personally owned was a Sega Genesis system. Since that time, I have purchased the original Sonic the Hedgehog (and its sequels) numerous times across multiple platforms (most recently for...
Super Cloudbuilt is a hidden gem that anyone with a love of speed and platforming should pick up on the PS4. The level design is outstanding as it continuously scales up the difficulty in a...
Released back when I was a carefree child who was still at university, the original Nidhogg was accessible and yet peculiar enough to warrant whipping it out when the gaming society I was at wanted...
The Italian Renaissance is often regarded as one of the most important and creative periods in human history. The setting has been used greatly in the Assassin's Creed series, and also used as an inspiration...
Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire takes a novel approach to the telling of its story. The game released on PlayStation 4 and follows the adventures of Cecille, the young woman who would be the...
I’ve got a lot of digital blood on my hands. I’ve run down crowds of Liberty City pedestrians, tea-bagged noob corpses and squashed the life out of thousands of hapless, unarmed goombas. In most games,...
As a guy whose life is deeply entrenched in music, I expected AereA to be the perfect melding of my two favorite worlds: RPGs and music. After hours and hours of what feels like wasted...
I suppose it is unfair to say that Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2 is pretty much the same game as Revelator 1, what with the new additions to the roster, the massive balance changes, and...
Let's get this out of the way; I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts fan through and through. However, I do see many flaws with the games that can't be overlooked, especially the original. This game manages...
Coin-operated arcade titles were all the rage back when the games that Housemarque are inspired by were ever-present. While their PS4 launch title Resogun took cues from the 1981 arcade classic Defender, and Super Stardust was a smash hit with its updated...
A few years ago, Kadokawa Games released Natural Doctrine for the PlayStation family of systems. The game, a strategy role-playing game, was not quite the success that they had hoped for, and critics and fans...
