Apologies, overseas friends, but I’m sure we’ll have another contest for you soon) Stranger Of Paradise is one of the finest, and smartest, games in Square Enix’s storied series.

Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

Review: Armed Seven (PC)

Review by V8Ninja.Is Armed Sevena SNES game that forgot to be released? Because if not, it sure does one masterful job convincing me otherwise. Everything, from the art design to the music to the simplistic controls, gives off the vibe of a game released when Mario was the bees knees…

Opinion by Chris I. With all the hype surrounding the vastly approaching next generation gaming console releases, it’s a joy to see gamers’ excitement filling the web and forum pages across the Internet. But as I see what’s to come with these new consoles, it’s become quite apparent that it’s…

Review by Andrew M. Mobile games all aim to be addictive. They are designed so that if you sit down on the train or lounge or whatever, you can just whip out your device and play a game for five minutes. But the secret to a good iPhone game is…

Review: Snow Moto Racing 3D (3DS)

Review by V8NinjaRacing video games tend to sway in one of two directions; either hyper-realism or pure arcade action. The first category contains games like Gran Turismo, Need for Speed: Shift, and the majority of Codemasters titles. The other category contains the Burnout, Mario Kart, and F-Zerogame franchises along with…

Just yesterday we reported that NISA is localising Mugen Souls Z for the western market in 2014. It has backed that news up today with even more exciting news; Hyperdimension Neptunia PP on the PlayStation Vita is getting a western localisation. This game from our buddies at Compile Heart and…

Review: The Guided Fate Paradox (PS3)

Review by Matt S. I love a good paradox. They’re the brain twisters for the intelligent, and also philosophy that everyone can think about. Integrate a good paradox into a narrative and you’ll effortlessly engage your reader or viewer as they ponder over the ideas and theories that you’re throwing…

This week in the News Wrap, BG took a look at the monstrous cost of the PS4 in Brazil, the return of a classic flight sim in Red Baron, a super impressive trailer for Super Mario 3D World and CosPlay. Lots and lots of CosPlay. So, new car or PS4?…

Review by Shaan J. On paper, Deadly Premonition might seem like an awful game, and a majority of gamers and critics would have agreed with that sentiment back in 2010, when the game launched on the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, that’s the inherent issue with arthouse games; while there are certainly…

Review by Matt S. Well, Dominions 4 is rather quaint. It’s a game that I actually needed to delve into its manual to understand how to play it… and the manual is over 100 pages long. Am I showing my age to say I actually remember doing that with the…

Trailer: Unepic for Wii U looks pretty awesome

October 23, 2013

trailer/Trailers/Unepic/Wii U

As a big fan of D & D, faithful attempts to parody the experience have always appealed to me. After all, the whole concept of suiting up awesome armour and descending into the inky black of a dungeon to slay orcs, trolls, and dragons is timeless, but it’s also quite…
