Review by Pierre-Yves L. Almost a century ago humanity was brought to near extinction by an invasion of dragons. The powerful Unit 13 managed to defeat them, and peace was restored and humanity was allowed to rebuild itself over time. Peace, however, is never meant to last and one of…
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 MoreReview by Matt S. When you think of great Square Enix RPG franchises, you’re naturally going to gravitate to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. You might remember Kingdom Hearts, and, because it’s so recent, Bravely Default. If you’re the smart type you might even be one of the few to…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Well, after what seemed like an eternity, Mighty No. 9 has finally released to the masses. After spending what felt like eternity waiting for the game since it was successfully funded on Kickstarter back in 2013, it’s now time to see exactly how well the game…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. A couple of years ago I had all but given up on playing newer editions of Koei Tecmo’s serious strategy games. Both the Nobunaga’s Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms franchises, which have been around for almost as long as games have been, stopped being…

Most such games are content to just…
Read MoreReview by Mikhail M. It feels surreal to be writing about Zero Time Dilemma, the third entry in the Zero Escape series. In 2014, Kotaro Uchikoshi, the director, said that the end of the trilogy might not happen. This really saddened me and all the Zero Escape fans out there…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Olympics is one of my favourite events when it rolls around every fourth year. It’s an opportunity to get right into sports I don’t normally get to watch, and, with fond memories of the Sydney Olympics back in 2000, I also get a nostalgic rush…
