The intention of this second opinion review isn’t to criticise the game or the differences in our opinions of it, but to share the experience from another perspective. Just…

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…

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…

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…

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?…
