Read MoreBy Matt C. For some reason or another, I’ve never played Steins;Gate (I know, I know, I’m sorry). That makes reviewing Steins;Gate 0 tricky, because is very much a sequel that’s tied closely to its predecessor. The central plot is broadly self-contained, but all the little details and character interactions…
Read MoreTravel by Matt S. People think that Japanese cuisine is all about the sushi and wagyu, and while those are very fine things in themselves, I do often find that people play it very “safe” when they visit Japan. Perhaps its because the Japanese language means that you’re not always…

Series such as Hardball, Bases Loaded, Baseball Stars and All-Star Baseball only scratch the surface of the amount of baseball games available, both simulation…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. For the third time I’ve found myself playing through the same narrative and levels that make up Hyrule Warriors – I’ve already played the Wii U and 3DS versions to death. The game’s a very fine one, but I very rarely play games three times through.…
Read MoreTravel by Matt S. As a big (big) fan of Koei Tecmo’s Nioh, over the past year or so, I’ve become quite fascinated with the central character in that game – William Adams, or “Samurai Bill”, as I like to refer to him. Nioh is only very loosely based on…
