Review by Matt S. The idea of people melded with machine, and the moral and ethical ramifications of bringing the two together, is hardly a new concept in literature, film or games. That’s not to say it’s not a relevant topic to address, though. Indeed, with what was once complete…
Read MoreReviews by Matt S. Welcome to this week’s short ‘n sweet reviews, where I look at a number of games that I’ve been playing that I just haven’t got the time to do give full reviews to. These aren’t necessarily bad games – not at all! But rather they are…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. After eastasiasoft’s Rainbow Moon I high hopes for Lost Sea. It has a good set up, too. After a storm leaves you stranded on a mysterious island, you discover that you’re in the middle of the Bermuda triangle. You must fight to survive and escape the…

Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. It’s like Square Enix was reading my mind: just yesterday I thought, “Hmm, I Am Setsuna is out soon but things have been relatively quiet on that front.” And bam! the publisher drops a boatload of new goodies to showcase the upcoming game by Tokyo RPG…

It’s 1986, life hasn’t been the best thing up until this point but you’ve just turned thirty-three, you’ve got a loving wife and daughter, that’s all that you need isn’t it?
