Who wants more Persona 4?

October 1, 2013

Arcade/Art/Persona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold/PlayStation 3/Release Information/screenshots/trailer/Xbox 360

Okay… that title could be seen as misleading – it’s Persona 4 Arena, with an update for the arcade first (they still have those in Japan, believe it or not), but later the PS3 and Xbox 360. Following in the fine tradition of Capcom fighting games that reiterate time and…

Dragon Quest X was initially a Nintendo Wii game. Then it was ported to the Wii U and PC. Now it’s being released on the iPad. Is this our best chance for the game to finally be localised in English? For those who aren’t familiar with the game, Dragon Quest…

Hardware review: Plantronics Rig Gaming Headset

October 1, 2013

Hardware/Hardware Review/headsets/Plantronics/Reviews/Rig/Rig Headset

Review by Matt S. The idea that headsets need to have dedicated purposes (enterprise work, listening to music, gaming), has always struck me as a little strange. Why not just release the one product that has a feature set that can appeal to everyone? Is it really that difficult to…

Idea Factory, that delightful Japanese developer behind the most otaku of otaku games, has gone international and opened an office in the US. Many will best know Idea Factory for its subsidiary, Compile Heart, which has developed a small but committed following in the west. Idea Factory International, as the…

Nintendo has done a Wii U update. The new features are good.

Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/system update/update/Wii U

Pre-empting a new Nintendo Direct tonight, Nintendo has rolled out an update for its Wii U console. This is a major update that offers some great new features. Nothing console-selling, but good additions for existing customers. The big one is that now Wii games (and Wii Virtual Console titles) can…

Review: Killzone Mercenary (Vita)

October 1, 2013

FPS/Killzone Mercenary/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony

Review by Matt S. The genre that Vita owners have been crying out for like none other is the shooter. With a powerful processor, nice wide screen and dual control sticks there is every reason that we should have had many entertaining shooters so far on the console, but we…

3DS/Nintendo/screenshots/Super Smash Bros/Wii U

Toon Link is getting a lot of love lately, first with the Wind Waker HD remake for the Wii U, and now he is showing up in some screenshots of the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game. It is really cool to see how this game is developing on both the…

Review: Gamebook Adventures 8: Curse of the Assassin (iPad)

September 30, 2013

Apple/Curse of the Assassin/Gamebook/iOS/iPad/iPhone/Reviews/Tin Man Games

Review by Owen S. Interactive choose-your-own-adventure books managed to capture the attention of many youngsters and adults alike back in the 80s. The advent of videogames more or less killed the artform, but with the iPad and its app-friendly design, gamebooks are back. As interactive novels, gamebooks allow the reader…
