Hyperdimension Neptunia/Hyperdimension Neptunia RE;Birth1/Idea Factory/Idea Factory International/JRPG/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony

Review by Matt S. I am so very glad that Idea Factory and Compile Heart saw fit to remake the original Hyperdimension Neptunia. The genesis for the weird and wonderful adventures that Nep-Nep and her strange friends go on is an important game for anyone who enjoyed the sequels. After…

Review by Rob P. Here’s a happy little story for you. Some time ago, I reviewed the Roccat Savu gaming mouse, and I rather liked it. I remember saying that it just needed one extra button to make it (almost) perfect. Well, two years have gone by, and Roccat is…

News by Jedediah H. Partially due to its over-the-top humour that was largely an effect of its tongue-in-cheek criticism of sexualisation, Senran Kagura Burst was a surprise hit on the 3DS when it released earlier this year, which is awesome for fans and aspiring players because thanks to that title’s…

anime/anime review/Beserk/Beserk: The Golden Age/Blu-ray/Horror

Review by Matt S. Berserk’s concluding chapter is horrific, with some of the most sickening gore and sexual violence imagery that you’ll ever see in a mainstream anime work. What’s so fascinating about it is that this extreme imagery is completely within context and the anime would be a lesser…

Review by Nick H. If I am being completely honest here, I am certain that most FPS fans have at some point or another thought about being able to put Hitler in the crosshairs of a high powered sniper rifle. Sniper Elite III’s DLC, Hunt the Grey Wolf, sets this…
