News by Clark A. It’s safe to say Kill la Kill stirred up the anime community when the anime began airing in late 2013, gathering loyal fans and leaving others revolted. It wasn’t simply polarising in terms of quality either; the show spawned plenty of debates about its female heroines…

Review by Nick H. As the fourth chapter in Telltale’s five episode series based on monsters and mythology, In Sheep’s Clothing has the unenviable task of trying to tie up a lot of loose ends while propelling the story forward to its conclusion. I came away from this episode somewhat…

Review by Clark A. The exceedingly niche Monster Monpiece has been shrouded in controversy ever since Idea Factory announced the game would be receiving a release beyond Japanese shores. It’s no secret why some audiences deemed the game inappropriate; take a gander at the animation on the game’s Wikipedia page (remembering…

Review by Matt S. As far as I’m concerned, Europa Universalis IV is the greatest strategy game out there for anyone who takes their strategy games seriously. It combines a lovely presentation and interface with detailed, complex empire management strategy and a rich understanding of history (something most strategy fans…

News by Matt S. Anyone who knows me knows that of all Tecmo Koei Warriors franchises, it is Samurai Warriors that is my favourite. Samurai Warriors 3 on the Nintendo Wii was a game I spent literally hundreds of hours on (and can no longer play online with friends, sadface).…
