Review by Matt S. Pata Pata Pata Pon Pon Pon Pata Pon Pata Pata Pata Pon Pon Pon Pata Pon I never thought, if there was a game that would wind up getting me divorced, that it would be Patapon. I figured that eventually the Hatsune Miku thing would catch…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Witching Hour Studios, from Singapore, has an uncanny ability to make games that seem to be designed for me personally. Ravenmark, from a couple of years ago, is exactly the kind of strategy game that, were I to make a game myself, would be aiming for.…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Ice will melt, water will boil, two similar IPs from the same creator will have a crossover. Unlike the gaming world’s zanier crossovers such as Pokémon Conquest, Accel World vs. Sword Art Online: Millennium Twilight is the type of collision that’s only natural. Based on two…

Read MoreReview by Clark A. Any title released on the Sega Dreamcast in 2015 is probably a labour of love. As one of several bullet hell shooters from Hucast Games, Ghost Blade first appeared on that platform before settling into the more commercially viable realm of modern home consoles. Despite being…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The classical city building simulator is an approach to game design that I’m quite convinced will never die.
