News by Jedediah H. Gandalf may have been adamant in his refusal to allow a burning Balrog passage to lynch his fellowship with a flaming whip within the depths of the Mines of Moria, but if said Balrog was, say, instead wielding a season pass for the upcoming Middle-earth: Shadow…

Review by Nick H. There are a handful of variables that can impact how much you enjoy the PC gaming experience. Much of it starts with the rig itself and whether or not it can handle the games – or perhaps push the boundaries of what the game is capable…

anime/anime review/Bakemonogatari/DVD/harem/Nisio Isin

Review by Matt S. This anime could not have been easy to localise. In fact, I’m surprised that anyone even tried. Bakemonogatari comes to us from Nisio Isin, the young Japanese wordsmith who is rapidly developing a reputation for being something well beyond his peers in the light novel space.…

Preview by Matt S. Who remembers Goldeneye? Everyone who was playing games when the Nintendo 64 was the big Nintendo console does, I assume. And as good as the game’s single player mode was it was truly something special for its split screen multiplayer. How I remember having night after…

Opinion by Jedediah H. I had a pretty good childhood. With parents who nurtured me with all the necessities plus a few luxuries (love, support… and video games, baby!), friends with whom I could share my illogical thoughts and misadventures with, and a body tempered in muscular steel plating that…

News/obsidian entertainment/Paizo/Pathfinder

News by Matt S. Amongst all the craziness of Gamescom this year (surely a future rival to E3 in terms of importance), there was one little bit of news that we missed but absolutely must report on: RPG legend, Obsidian, has picked up the rights to the brilliant Pathfinder pen-and-paper…

Opinion by Matt S. Everyone likes a top-10 list. They’re a bit of fun, and always good for discussion. And so every so often we pull together a “top 10” list. These are here for fun and laughs – we’re not pretending that we’re the authority of good games taste…

Review by Clark A. In an industry that often produces movies that directly adapt their TV show equivalents, Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time is ambitious. Originally released in 2010 as an anniversary movie of sorts, it plucks its four protagonists from the franchise’s first three long-running anime spin-offs. That’s a lot…

Kart Racer/PlayStation Vita/Racing Game/Reviews/Ripstone/Sony/Table Top Racing

Review by Matt S. Ripstone is a publisher that knows a good casual game when it sees one. From Pure Chess to Men’s Room Mayhem, the publisher has again and again picked up simple, entertaining games and brought them to the PlayStation Vita without excessive fanfare. But they’ve always been…
