News by Matt S. Dungeons & Dragons will forever be respected as the grandfather of pen-and-paper RPGs. Heck, it’ll be remembered as the creator of the RPG genre in its entirety. Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy would never have happened were it not for Dungeons & Dragons. Every RPG you…

Preview by Nick H. While Flat Earth Games may be the team responsible for a favourite title of ours, TownCraft, it has just proven that it’s a team willing to take chances. It would have been easy to go back to the same well that it drew on for Towncraft,…

Review by Nick H. Wow. That is how you conclude an episodic series of games. The Wolf Among Us has proven itself to be an excellent narrative throughout the first four episodes. Episode 5 is an almost perfect conclusion to a series of episodes that had me far more invested…

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…

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…
