News by Matt S. Gather around, folks, because it’s storytime, and I need to explain to you why Pathfinder is such a big deal. A fair few years ago now, Dungeons & Dragons (the tabletop RPG) was in its third edition, and there were to magazines that the publisher, Wizards…

Review: Warborn (Nintendo Switch)

June 10, 2020

Indie/Nintendo Switch/PQube/Reviews/Strategy/Switch Review/tactics game/Warborn

Review by Matt S. It amazes me more than a little that Nintendo has allowed Advance Wars to sit on ice for so long. Yes, of course, Intelligent Systems is working on Fire Emblem instead, and that series is doing so well for it, but you look at the number…

World of Tanks enters an all-new phase

June 10, 2020

DLC/News/PC/trailer/Trailers/wargaming/wargaming.net/World Of Tanks

News by Matt S. World of Tanks is a game that we have a complex relationship with. On the one hand, it is very much a military action game with all the connotations that comes with it. On the other hand, because it’s purely multiplayer-focused and doesn’t try to tell…

Review: Shantae and the Seven Sirens (Sony PlayStation 4)

June 10, 2020

2D platformer/Arabian Fantasy/platformer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Shantae/Shantae and the Seven Sirens/Sony PlayStation 4/Wayforward

Review by Matt S. Shantae’s fifth outing also represents the first time that the series has lost a little of its lustre and magic, which is ironic given that the HD art has been polished to the point that it’s positively shining. WayForward’s team of talented artists and designers have,…

News by Matt S. Earlier this year, NISA announced that it would be publishing a pack of the two Prinny platfomers on Nintendo Switch. For those that aren’t familiar with the Prinny games, they were originally PSP titles, and are famous for being hilarious, charming games… and infamous for being…

The GREATEST traditional JRPG of all time is coming to PC

JRPG/News/PC/Persona 4/Persona 4 Golden/Rumour

News by Matt S. Okay, so this is just rumour at this stage, but Gematsu has found compelling evidence to suggest that Persona 4 Golden is coming to PC on June 13. Putting aside the more innovative, genre-bending NieR titles, Persona 4 Golden is the smartest, most intelligent, deepest and…

Review: Ys: Memories of Celceta (Sony PlayStation 4)

June 9, 2020

action RPG/JRPG/Nihon Falcom/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Ys: Memories of Celeta

Review by Matt S. Within the JRPG circles, it’s a weird kind of blasphemy if you fail to enjoy a Ys title. People have a passionate attachment to this series… so kick back and watch me give praise to Baphomet, because I’ve never managed to quite get along with Ys:…

News by Matt S. Ever wanted to see Nep-Nep follow in Ai Kizuna’s footsteps and become a virtual YouTuber? I think we’ve all wanted that, but in fairness to Nep-Nep, the girl has got a busy schedule. We do get a taste of it from this new trailer, though. Neptunia…

Pinball Lockdown: What makes a great pinball table?

June 8, 2020

arcade games/pinball/Pinball Lockdown/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Pinball Lockdown isn’t a great game (actually, it’s a terrible pinball experience, even on a budget), but it did get me thinking as I was playing, and asking myself just what do I like about pinball. Obviously the experience of flicking the ball around the playfield…
