June 12, 2020

News by Matt S. This is really a super-quick little news story, as we’ve only just released the previous My Time With Dee Dee VN, Summer Loop, but I wanted to also confirm that, plugging along in the background I’ve been working on the next one, and it’s going to…

Review by Matt S. The Last of Us Part II is a difficult game to review. That’s not to say that there isn’t anything worth talking about in it, because there is a lot, but rather the difficulty comes from an extended list of embargo conditions that make it impossible…

News by Lindsay M. After very reasonably being delayed for a week, it’s time for PlayStation’s The Future of Gaming presentation. We don’t expect a full view of the PlayStation 5 design, but instead loads of game reveals. The presentation’s banner has a black DualSense controller in it, so it…

Review: BioShock: The Collection (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Harvard L. I love how far the gaming medium has come in such a short amount of time. BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite are, amazingly, retro games now. And maybe that’s more a statement about how quickly time has passed rather than how robust the ideas within…

News by Matt S. Softstar Entertainment has released a new gameplay trailer for its upcoming Xuan-Yuan VII. It’s due for release this year, and while this action-RPG does look a little clumsy in places, I am really digging the aesthetics and premise of the thing. As the game’s description goes:…

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…

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…
