News by Clark A. Disappointed that the second season of Date a Live only ran for ten episodes? Don’t despair just yet. Coinciding with the conclusion of the show’s second season (which just finished airing this week), it was announced via Date a Live’s official Twitter page that the show…

Free-to-play/Gazillion Entertainment/Marvel/Marvel Heroes 2015/MMO/PC/PC Review/Reviews

Review by Nick H. The world of MMO gaming is an interesting one, because it is so incredibly fluid. Once upon a time you’d buy a game, put it in your console or PC drive and that was what you got. Then came patches and online communities where players could…

Review by Nick H. Dating all the way back to 1990, Final Fantasy III helped to take the storyline and character progression of the series further than ever before. I had always enjoyed the first two Final Fantasy games, but their stories were sparse, relying more on conversations with random…

News by Matt S. E3 has all shut up shop for 2014, and it has been an exciting one. We’re rather sad it’s all over, in fact. But we have one more trailer for you this year; introducing a new handheld console, the Steamboy. This console, which uses the Steam…

News by Matt S. Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Tamara Schembri and Peter Budziszewski; an Aussie indie team with a love of the whole “games as art” deal. As you can probably guess, I immediately became a fan. Budziszewski is a veteran of the Australian games industry, having…

Opinion by Matt S. It wouldn’t be an E3 without controversy. This year that controversy is a statement that an Ubisoft spokesman made to the effect of “there are no playable female assassins in Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s multiplayer component because animating women is too much work.” I actually wasn’t going…

Review by Matt S. Fantasy Grounds isn’t a game in and of itself. But it’s almost certainly going to end up being my most valued piece of Steam software. For Fantasy Grounds is a bit of software that allows you to play pen-and-paper (PnP) RPGs with family and friends from…

Review by Harvard L. Simplicity can be both a good and a bad thing. At the best of times, simplicity makes a game feel second nature, and at the worst the game becomes tiresome all too soon. And Pulstar is an example of the latter. Billing itself as a twin…

News by Clark A. It seemed like most major Nintendo news had been outed after the Nintendo Digital Event at E3, but a certain fellow by the name of Reginald quickly reminded us of a 90 minute conference for a “surprise” new 3DS game. Naturally most fans threw around the…
