Is there a better suited game for the iPhone than Fortune Street, Square Enix’s most under appreciated franchise? I would argue no. Fortune Street Smart is a brilliant fit for the iPhone, and one of very best mobile games you’ll ever play. The series, which has been Japan-only in many…

Remember when Dark Souls got announced for personal computers after an almost 100K-signature petition? Everybody was happy. But then the box art was revealed, with the white, ever-so-hated “Games for Windows Live” logo right at the top of the packaging. This caused yet another outrage with another petition, as GFWL…

So I got my copy of Atelier Meruru today. I love the game, it’s pure, unadulterated fun, and you’ll be able to see my review on Otaku Gaming shortly. The point of this piece is not to discuss the game, though. It’s to point out how absolutely inconsistent the Australian…

Let’s kick this review off with three warnings: Warning #1: there was no hype to this game, and Nintendo has tried to bury it in the eShop. Warning #2: It’s by Circle, who has become the new Gameloft in terms of shoddy ideas poorly executed. Warning #3? This review, because…

The official trailer for Skyrim’s Xbox 360 exclusive episode Dawnguard is vamptastic. Dawnguard actually delivers a lot more content into The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. There aren’t a ton of specifics as of yet on the add-on, but it looks from the trailer like you can cast yourself as either vampire, or…

Your favorite limbless cartoon hero slaps the 3DS’ virtual console silly this week as the original Rayman lands on the service- and there’s even something for Wii owners!
