Review by Lindsay M. When I installed Final Fantasy Brave Exvius on my iPad, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had played Record Keeper before and grown tired within days; I was just not familiar enough with every Final Fantasy game to truly appreciate it. Brave Exvius is essentially…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Since I’ve already covered the Japanese version of Gal*Gun: Double Peace, I won’t run through a lot of that material again for this review of the English version. You can check out my more in-depth analysis of the narrative behind the game there. I’ll use this…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Traditional as traditional comes, Shiren the Wanderer was one of the pioneers of the modern roguelike Mystery Dungeon subgenre. The first game landed right back in 1995 on the Super Famicom in Japan, and while we see shades of that game in so many more innovative…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ninja Pizza Girl is a sharp reminder that you should never be in pizza delivery. The nakedness that is potentially about to greet you with every door that you knock on is, all in itself, reason to list this right up there with the most hellish…
