Review by Matt S. Square Enix was quite strategic about the release timing of Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend. The company released this late into the year so they can pick up some easy cash from the nostalgic with what is a very cheap retro collection, without too much…
Read MoreHistory lesson time! There’s actually a really good reason that Crawlco Block Knockers, a pervy puzzle game with plenty of nudity in it, is quite the appropriate Nintendo console release (I have no idea how eastasiasoft gets away with this, given the previously-released Waifu Uncovered pushes real boundaries on what…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. In the six years since the board game Evolution first landed in stores, it has grown rapidly in stature and prominence. It’s a commercial hit and, as the game’s website proudly proclaims, it’s even drawn the attention and respect of the scientific community for the way…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ve already reviewed Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia on Nintendo Switch, which I did when it launched on the console earlier in the year.

Read MoreReview by Trent P. Immortals Fenyx Rising is a key new property for Ubisoft. Developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the title is a distinct action-adventure game in a style that sits neatly within Ubisoft’s comfort zone, and that’s not an inherently bad thing, though you know what you’re getting right from…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We’ve already reviewed Dragon Quest XI twice – once on the original release on PlayStation 4, and then the enhanced version on Nintendo Switch. That second, enhanced version, is now on PlayStation 4. It doesn’t do much more, so this is going to be a short…
