Review by Clark A. As much as I enjoy JRPGs, I recognize that certain audiences simply can’t bear their often turn-based battle systems and gratuitous playtimes. While some will never be persuaded by the genre, playing Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga again as of one of the Wii U’s premiere…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. 3 Stars of Destiny is the latest game from indie outfit Aldorlea Games and is a prequel to its Laxius Force Trilogy (now actually a saga). It looks and feels like an RPG Maker game, but there’s a very good reason this one is sold on…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Persona 4 is one of the finest JRPGs ever released. Combining a dating sim-style social game with some rich JRPG combat mechanics, the game is enthralling for every moment over its 70+ hour run time. In fact, there is so much to do and see in…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Soulbringer came out about fourteen years ago. That had me thinking in a few directions at the same time. The first would be that fourteen years ago I was using CRT monitor… in technology terms it’s a lifetime ago? Games like Black Isle’s Balder’s Gate II…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’m not the biggest fan of shooters, I’ll admit, but with their saturation in the industry I feel like they can be relied on to provide honest, predictable fun. CT Special Forces is a single player third person shooter which will seem a little familiar to…

Read MoreReview by Clark A. MonkeyPaw’s Japanese import titles have varied in terms of accessibility for non-native speakers. With that said being a retro run n’ gun shooter, Wolf Fang does a bang-up job of being fully playable. Unfortunately, the problem lies more in the game itself than the language barrier.…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The idea behind a collection of classic games like Pac-Man Museum is to capitalise on a long term nostalgia from the game’s original fans. Most of these packages reflect not on an end goal such as ‘beating the game’, but instead competing for the highest score…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Nintendo was doing “HD” remakes before they were cool. Long, long before they were cool. Wind back to when the Game Boy Color was released, the company wanted to demonstrate just how much more powerful it was when compared to the original grey brick Game Boy.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I never thought someone would think to modernise Tempest. The classic arcade game from 1981 was certainly a wonderful game for its time, but it never became iconic like some other classic games (think Space Invaders, Asteroid and Pac-Man). But here we are with TxK, which…
