News by Matt S. BurgerTime is one of those classics that never quite hit the highs of Pac-Man, Space Invaders, or Mario Bros, but is nonetheless a well-regarded title that sits just beneath the greats. The Data East original was released back in 1982 as something of a side-scrolling Pac-Man,…

News by Matt S. God bless Suda-san. The world just wouldn’t be the same without his punkish blend of pop culture transgression and surreal sense of humour. I’ve been waiting for a new Lollipop Chainsaw title (or even just a HD remaster) for such a long time now, but while…

E3/E3 2019/game trailer/News/simulation/Spiritfarer/Thunder Lotus

News by Lindsay M. Nothing gives me national pride (Go Canada!) quite like a great indie dev from a nearby city; Thunder Lotus is one of the great ones, and I’m sure you’ve heard of it before —it’s the developer behind Jotun and Sundered. And this week, during Microsoft’s E3…

Brenda Romero/E3/E3 2019/Empire of Sin/John Romero/News/Strategy/tactics/tactics game/XCom

News by Matt S. XCOM has proven to be a very versatile foundation for a wide range of games. XCOM itself is a science fiction human-vs-aliens affair, but that foundation has been used for everything from James Bond-like espionage titles through to Call of Cthulhu-style horror. And now the celebrated…

E3 Trailer: Your reminder that there’s an adorable Tsum Tsum game on the way

June 12, 2019

Disney/Disney Tsum Tsum Festival/E3/E3 2019/minigame compilation/minigames/News/Nintendo Switch/Tsum Tsum

News by Matt S. Disney’s Tsum Tsum are delightful. They’re a range of collectible stuffed toys that are shaped as round cylinders, covering the entire range of Disney characters, and these things are very, very collectible. So much more so than those useless Funko Pop figures. Japan in particular has…

News by Matt S. Within all the announcements that were made through the Nintendo Switch E3 Direct (and there really were an awful lot of them), one really stood out as something that came out of nowhere, and I am immediately grateful that it exists. There’s a tactics RPG tie-in…

News by Matt S. Looking away from the major conferences and stage shows at E3, there’s always a couple of little gems that struggle to get the attention that they deserve. Often they come from Kalypso, a mid-tier publisher that has many of the most interesting properties. This year is…
