News by Lindsay M. I am a very picky person, about just about everything. I only like certain foods, I only go certain places, I only write certain things. As you can imagine, that makes me very weary of backing something on Kickstarter: it’s something that’s out of my control,…

News by Lindsay M. It’s the last day of E3, and I can’t believe it’s taken until now for me to have a breath to spare so we can go back to the Square Enix press conference. Squeezed in after Outriders and before the beast that has become Final Fantasy…

News by Matt S. Sekai Games, the specialist visual novel localisation outfit, probably should have held an E3 conference of its own, because it has announced a whole lot of exciting projects. More than we saw in certain conferences this year for sure (*cough* Ubisoft and Bethesda). Across Nintendo Switch,…

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…
