Review by Brad L. Pool is a game of angles, skill and determination. If you play the game anything like me, it is also always the ball’s fault. To say that I am the unluckiest man in history when it comes to making simple shots in pool is a reasonably…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It says it right in the title: this game is a roguelike. That means player death, more player death, and then for a bit of variety, some more player death. Now with most roguelikes, when a character dies it’s simply back to the start of the…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Onechanbara is a franchise where women clad in the most impractical bikinis you could imagine (just because they can, apparently) run around killing monsters. As you can probably imagine given how singularly grindhouse and exploitative the premise sounds, the Onechanbara games haven’t exactly been of the…

Beyond the fact it was visually beautiful, the game featured a breathtaking soundtrack and an intelligent, articulate, and creative approach to storytelling. Short of having a gaming laptop,…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. It takes only a handful of screenshots to ascertain End of Serenity’s role as a retro-style, Final Fantasy clone. As yet another JRPG being released late in the aging PSP’s life, it doesn’t exactly have grand expectations riding on its shoulders. That lack of hype is…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not really surprised that someone, somewhere had the idea to build a visual novel around the BlazBlue franchise. After all, in between the brief and furious combat in these fighting games there’s so much dialogue that the “Story” mode might as well be a visual…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Transformers is clearly the perfect material for games, but as we’ve seen from the films, potential and execution are very different things.
