Review: Generation of Chaos: Pandora’s Reflection (PSP)

February 25, 2013

Generation of Chaos/Generation of Chaos Pandora's Reflection/NISA/PlayStation/PSP/Reviews

You wouldn’t know it, but Generation of Chaos: Pandora’s Reflection is actually the sixth main entry in a relatively niche JRPG franchise. This makes it tough to appreciate just how dramatically Pandora’s Reflection shakes up the established formulas of the previous titles. If there’s an advantage to this though, it’s…

Arkedo/Arkedo Series/Financial results/sad news

Though not technically bankrupt, Arkedo, the team behind some great games including the Arkedo series on the PlayStation Network, no longer has any employees. The team will be producing no more games moving forwards, in other words. So that sequel to Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit that we…

As Australia’s most prominent developer, and one of the largest working on the Apple iOS platforms, all eyes have been on Firemonkeys as it has geared up for the hotly-anticipated Real Racing 3. And it has largely succeeded. Some issues with the microtranastion model aside, Real Racing 3 is a…

Arrr! This game is tougher than pirate’s pegged leg matey. Sela the Space Pirate is a punk. I mean this not only in a nice way, but in a literal sense as well. She’s the epitome of what it is to be “steampunk.” Err… just without the “steam,” that is.…

The weekly discussion/weekly chat

With the unveiling of the PlayStation 4 this week, we’re all in the mood to talk about new consoles, I think. But since we’ve already discussed the PS4 to death, let’s talk about console launches instead. Of the consoles that you’ve bought at launch, which have impressed you most, and…

Rainbow Moon, the most hardcore of hardcore RPGs, gets a sequel

February 22, 2013

eastasiasoft/Rainbow Moon/Rainbow Skies

If you’ve had the good fortune to play Rainbow Moon, then you’d know the definition of a ‘hardcore’ RPG. It was literally hundreds of hours of grinding, looting and levelling up. Now, we’re rather big fans of that kind of game (read our review here), so you can imagine our…

Review: Scribblenauts Unlimited (Wii U)

5th Cell/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Puzzle Game/review/Scribblenauts

Imagination. Its a wonderful thing when utilized to its full extent and people can whisk themselves to the most fascinating of paradises. Imagine, if you will, a world that you could interact with in the most primal way. You want it to be night, and *poof* it is. Feeling peckish?…

Dummy Spit/Opinion/PlayStation 4/Sony

Let’s chalk up another win for gamer entitlement taking over rational thought; following Sony’s rather spectacular unveiling of the PlayStation 4, a group of gamers spat the dummy because Sony didn’t show the actual PlayStation 4 box. It’s one of those moments where I quite genuinely felt an urge to…

Yes, Mass Effect 3 has been out for a while, but the real final sendoff for the game’s single player experience is about to arrive right alongside the last of the multiplayer offerings. Reckoning is the last of the multiplayer downloads that’ll be coming for EA and BioWare’s smash hit…

The Witcher 3 is coming to the PlayStation 4. Oh yes

CD Projekt Red/Good news/PlayStation 4/Sony/The Witcher 3

And I thought the PlayStation 4 announcement couldn’t get more exciting… CD Projekt Red, the makers of the Witcher games, and thus the guys that made the best Western RPG in the past generation (The Witcher 2) have announced that The Witcher 3 will be making an appearance on the…
