Review by Nick H. iPhones and iPads are great because they offer so much entertainment on the go. But boy are those speakers in them underwhelming. That’s not a problem when you’re out and about. That’s what headphones are for, after all. But what about just moving around the house?…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. With all the coverage that we’ve been giving Hatsune Miku and her band of adorable vocaloids, I thought that it would be a good time to review a series of Hatsune Miku (and friends) art books by Udon Entertainment. And so each day this week we’ll…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Tenkai Knights is an anime with a narrative that centres on living bricks called Tenkai. Five young boys on Earth in the year 2034 find a gateway to Quarton, the homework of the Tenkai, and are chosen to become the new guardian Tenkai Knights to battle…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Given that I am such a fan of Koei Tecmo’s Warriors franchise, people are often surprised to hear that I came to the series quite late. My first Warriors game was, in fact, Samurai Warriors 3 on the Nintendo Wii. And I wasn’t going to play…

Read MoreReview by Clark A. Akiba’s Trip: Undead and Undressed surprised me and likely not for the reasons you suspect. Yes, in a game where the player is permitted to indiscriminately shred the clothes off strangers in broad daylight, my biggest takeaway was not the liberty to don the stat-boosting panties…
Read MoreImpressions by Clark A. What happens when five high school students gain such superpowers as time control, elemental manipulation, and flame manifestation? Almost nothing, apparently. In Studio Trigger’s comedic When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace, there are neither grand villains to be combated nor the need to thrust vigilante justice upon…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. Here’s a tiny review of a tiny gadget. The Q-Bopz is one of the smallest Bluetooth speakers that we’ve covered, but it makes up for its diminutive size with decent sound quality and a go-anywhere kind of attitude. The speaker is coated in a colourful, splash-resistant…
