Review by Matt S. Tears to Tiara 2: Heir of the Overlord is the kind of game that you’d expect from a console at the end of its life. It’s neither big budget nor high profile, and it is resolutely and unapologetically a game for the genre fans. It even…
Read MoreReview by Jedediah H. Have you ever seen a goofy Mel Brooks’ movie from the 90’s by the name Life Stinks? I was on the wrong side of seven years of age the first time I had the privilege, and it left a bit of an existential impression on my…
Read MoreNews by Jedediah H. Calling to attention all Hyperdimension Neptunia fans – yes, you with the Inafune Sword Beam on your utility belt! Since you’re so patient and sweet and adventurous, Idea Factory has announced that their first strategy RPG, Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart, will be cutely gliding a…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Well, this is quite the way to wrap up what has become one of my favourite games of 2014. How is it From Software has managed to take a brightly lit, snowy environment and make it just as desolate and foreboding at any of the caverns…

Be it with a good friend, a romantic partner, or the fire-fighter who’s always clad in sweet aroma (and nothing else), we need some consistency of human contact, whether it’s a sharing of beverages that leads…
Read MoreNews by Clark A. There’s no shortage of Tales games on the PS3 now – more than half a dozen titles in the series are playable on the system. That hasn’t prevented the upcoming Tales of Zestiria from looking like another fun romp through a fantasy world, however. One of…
Read MoreNews by Clark A. You knew it was coming…eventually. Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy XV has been in development for nearly a decade now, changing platforms and monikers several times over the years.
