July 15, 2014

Manga/Manga review/Naoki Urasawa/Osamu Tezuka/Pluto

Review by Matt S. I don’t know how Naoki Urasawa manages to keep having me literally race through the pages of his mangas in order to find out what happened next. I don’t know how he manages to keep leaving me feeling deflated when I reach the end of a…

Akiba's Trip/News/release date/Release Dates

News by Matt S. Akiba’s Trip might just be the oddest game you’ll play this year. After all, it’s about a guy that runs around the Mecca for otakus, Akihabara, and removes clothes from people. Forcefully. I think in this instance it’s best to let the press release do the…

News by Jedediah H.

Early Access Preview: Wrack (PC)

July 14, 2014

Early Access/Final Boss Entertainment/FPS/PC/Preview/Retro/Steam

Preview by Chris I. People that grew up in the late ’80s and early ’90s undoubtedly have fond memories of arcade-style FPS corridor shooters. Wolfenstein and Doom were all the rage (no pun intended) and for good reason; the pure fast-paced nature of these games is, simply put, a lot…

News by Jedediah H. As some of you know, I’m a supreme sucker for a good story, but nothing pushes me into an emotive belly-trance quite like a killer original soundtrack. And from what can be heard from its recent trailer, Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star’s music is…
