Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f 2nd/News/PlayStation 3/PlayStation Vita/Sega/trailer

News by Jedediah H. Just as dulcet-voiced fans (like me!) of the incomparably charming Hatsune Miku were getting used to the fact that the sequel to her first game to be released in the West, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F, was actually dancing its way to the global market, SEGA…

anime/anime review/Cardcaptor Sakura/fantasy

Review by Matt S. Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie was originally released in 1999, but it feels so much older than that. In demonstrating just how far animation has come thanks to the increasing role of technology in it, Cardcaptor Sakura feels more like a Disney movie of old than most…

Frontline/Frontline: Road to Moscow/iPad/Reviews/Slitherine/Strategy

Review by Rob P. War is brutal. War is a pitiless clash of ideology, a contest of arms, a dreadful reckoning of shattered lives. But war also takes place politely, in turns. One side attacks, then waits patiently while the other side has their go. And when the last shell…
