So, how good was E3 this year? Well, it was great if you were a fan of Nintendo and retro games… but was there much more to this year’s show? In our post-E3 wrap and debrief, we talk about everything that excited us in the show, what we’re looking forward…

Review by James T. Before stepping into the world of Super Cane Magic Zero: Legend of the Cane Cane (nothing quite like a snappy title that rolls off the tongue), I quickly take stock of my inventory to ensure I’m ready for the perils that lie ahead of me. I’m…

Video by Matt S. Idea Factory’s newest Neptunia game comes to us from Canadian Artisan Studios and… it’s a nicely made game. It has an elegant combat system, some truly stunning art, and there has clearly been a lot of effort put into it. So why is it a disappointment?…

Preview by Matt C. Mable & The Wood is not your typical Metroidvania. For one thing, you can’t jump, nor can you swing Mable’s hefty sword. But more significantly, all the upgrades—which are, I’d say, the thing that defines Metroidvania as a genre—are optional. You can, in theory, play through…
