News by Matt S. Persona 5 Scramble, the Warriors-like “action RPG” from Koei Tecmo and Atlus, is shaping up rather nicely indeed. There’s always a bit of hesitation when one of these are announced and released – look at how negatively fans initially responded to both Hyrule Warriors and Dragon…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Two of the greatest western RPGs of all time, released on console for the first time, is not something that should be overlooked. Certainly some people will look at the “dated” presentation of these titles and turn away, but doing that would be missing the point…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Death Stranding is Sony’s big game for this critical end-of-year season. It’s also the biggest risk that Sony has taken in quite some time; a real creative vision and work of art from Hideo Kojima, formerly of Konami and Metal Gear Solid fame. Just how polarising…
