Dee Dee/Dee Dee game/My Time With Dee Dee/News/release date/Release Dates/visual novel

News by Matt S. I’ve got some great news to share today; we’ve got a release date set in stone for the next visual novel in the “My Time With Dee Dee” series. It took a little longer than I thought it would (mostly because of scope creep – it’s…

Video by Matt S. It’s hard to conceive, but Square Enix has a series that has been kicking around since 1991, and it’s almost completely unknown here in the west. That series is Itadaki Street (Fortune Street); a series of board games, usually themed after Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.…

News by Matt S. The most exciting thing to happen to the Nintendo Switch lands in just a week now. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva MegaMix releases on February 13, and will be one of the more import-friendly games. After all, it’s a rhythm game. Simple controls, simple menus, and you’ll…

Android/Dragon Quest Tact/iOS/mobile/News/Square Enix/Tactics RPG

News by Matt S. Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest Tact for iOS and Android. It’s currently going to be a Japanese-only release (of course it is), but it really looks like something that I could get into, even if it is free-to-play, and therefore going to be loaded with…

Indie/let's play/rhythm game/Vectronom/Video/Video review

Video by Harvard L. Vectronom is an ecclectic little game: it’s a rhythm game from 2019 that looks like a little indie platformer, and features squares that bounce around boldly minimalist environments. It’s also one of those games that once you let yourself get hooked into it, you can’t put…

Why are there not more games like Kentucky Route Zero?

Art Game/Kentucky Route Zero/Opinion/theater/theatre

Opinion by Matt S. It took me far, far too long to start playing Kentucky Route Zero. It’s one of those things that people have kept recommending to me, knowing the kinds of games that I like to play, but I had just never got around to it. I’m only…

Video by Matt S. A tactics RPG based on Jim Henson’s wonderful Dark Crystal property? What could possibly go wrong with THAT! Sadly, a lot. This is one of those games that reminds you that licensed tie-ins used to be so, so bad. In this video I discuss the issues…

Review: Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance Tactics (Sony PlayStation 4)

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/Tactics RPG/The Dark Crystal/The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics/western RPG

Review by Matt S. Between the Stranger Things 3 game, Narcos, and now Dark Crystal, it seems that Netflix television shows are driving a new renaissance in that kind of cheap, low-budget licensed cash-in game. Remember back on the early PlayStation and Nintendo consoles when a “licensed game” (Goldeneye 007…

Review: Patapon 2 Remastered (Sony PlayStation 4)

Patapon/Patapon 2 Remastered/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/rhythm game/Sony/Strategy

Review by Matt S. I do wish Sony produced more games like Patapon these days. As a publisher, Sony’s energy and investment have pivoted hard towards the big blockbusters, and given that Spider-Man, Death Stranding, Uncharted and The Last Of Us sell consoles, it’s hard to begrudge the publisher for…
