Review by Matt S. Puyo Puyo Tetris is one of those genius ideas that shouldn’t work… and yet somehow does. I don’t think, prior to the first Puyo Puyo Tetris landing, that anyone thought that bringing together such disparate puzzle games as Puyo Puyo and Tetris was going to result in…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Root Double is a visual novel that I wish I had have written. There are parts of its narrative that frustrate me, but those pale in comparison to the fact that this game is a taut, intense survival thriller, with the kind of narrative that explores…

This is a game about Orwellian surveillance and a fascist, censorious state causing individuals to turn on one another via their digital lives. It’s dense stuff, worthy of study and debate.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. As a property, I have so many issues with Kingdom Hearts, and a lot of it stems from being something that should have been so easy for Square Enix. Take Disney, and Final Fantasy, and mash them together. Let Donald Duck summon those great monstrosities of…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. It is one of Square Enix’s most enduring properties, and yet, for the longest time the company has resisted doing more than a single game in it. That’s all about to change, however, with the company announcing NEO: The World Ends With You. Related reading: Our…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Based on QV’s opening and eShop description, you’d be forgiven for expecting an isometric puzzle game with the scope of an epic. They hype up the last member of a chosen lineage and her duty to prevent the collapse of the entire universe. This is technically…
