Video by Matt S. All good things come to an end. For Dead or Alive 6 it seems like it came to an end far too soon, with Koei Tecmo announcing that the new DLC that was released this week will be the end of it. I know, I know,…
News by Matt S. Like Picross? Of course you do. “Number crosswords” as they’re colloquially known, Picross is the kind of puzzle experience that feels immensely rewarding. You finish a Sudoku puzzle and it’s just… done. Same goes for crosswords. But with Picross, you finish the puzzle, you get to…
Review by Matt S. One of the best things that Koei Tecmo has going for it is how adaptable its Warriors (Musou) formula is. Whether it’s medieval history (Samurai Warriors), ancient history (Dynasty Warriors), or any of a wide and growing range of anime and licensed game properties (Gundam, Arslan,…

Review by Harvard L. We’ve all heard the old adage: “In space, no one can hear you scream”. And while that’s technically true, and while it might be effective in sending viewers to see Ridley Scott’s Alien, it’s not the most accurate way of considering extraterrestial life. You see, “no…
News by Matt S. NISA will be releasing Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita (yes, really!) in May. It is the first of the series chronologically, so people who enjoyed the “first” two released in the west will absolutely want to check out where it…
Retro reflections by Matt S. The last time Nintendo produced a new Game & Watch title was way back in 2002, with the Game Boy Advance’s Game & Watch Gallery 4. Since then there hasn’t been much done with the property: there have been ports of most of the Game…
