Impressions by Matt S. I am reviewing Final Fantasy XV, but it’s going to take quite a while; expect it towards the end of the week. It’s not just that the game is huge (it most certainly is, and I’m not nearly far enough through it to start judging it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Pokemon has been a fading franchise. I know I’m going to get a horde of people yelling at me for saying that, but here’s the reality; without actually changing anything about the core Pokemon game, Game Freak has churned out iteration after iteration, each time with…
Read MoreRetro reflections by Matt S. In 1998, two years after realising that it was onto something big in Japan with a humble game called Pokemon, Nintendo and Game Freak unleashed their first monster collecting JRPG in the west, with little fanfare, and minimal expectations that it would succeed (over and…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I honestly hope that Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters gets a better look in this time around, for what is effectively the “remastered” edition of the visual novel/ JRPG. Arriving on the PlayStation 4 for the first time, there are some basic updates and some new content…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Atelier Firis: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Journey is going to be a very different game to the Atelier games that you’ve played in the past. At a rate of almost one game per year over the series’ 19-year history, fans have grown accustomed to what…
