Ed-0: Zombie Uprising is simultaneously excellent B-grade action fun, and an utter waste of an enormously talented developer’s finest qualities.

May the great vocaloids above bless D3 Publisher for eternity.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I like grindhouse B-grade horror. It’s a genre I grew up deriving a great deal of joy from. I like bikinis. They are a nice aesthetic (seriously, as controversial as this has become to say, women in swimwear are pleasant to look at). I like anime.…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. I’ve never played Misshitsu no Sacrifice, a Japanese-only PSP “suspense adventure game,” but it looks great. Thankfully for me, D3 Publisher is about to make it much easier to experience, teaming up with developer Intense to announce a remake (western translation of its name and all),…
