News by Matt S. One of the Idea Factory games I’m looking forward to the most is Date A Live: Rio Reincarnation: a “romantic visual novel” based on a brilliantly fanservicey anime franchise. And now we have confirmation that it’s coming soon to the west! It releases on PlayStation 4…

Without the “punk” running through its theme and design, all “Steampunk” is, is an attempt to cynically cash in on a popular alternative culture and ideology, and far, far too many “Steampunk” games feel incredibly…

Review by Matt S. There was a time where the RTS genre was beautiful in its simplicity. When you look back at the early Warcrafts, the original Starcraft, Age of Empires, and Command and Conquer, there was a consistency in them; you’d send workers out to gather materials, use those…
