Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 6/DLC/Koei Tecmo/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. So, Dead or Alive 6 finally released last week, and it is a particularly good fighting game. The best 3D fighting game ever, as far as I’m concerned, and argued in my review. But, of course, this is the games industry, so rather than talk about…

Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 6/fanservice/Fighting game/fighting games/Koei Tecmo/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/sex

Review by Matt S. I can’t think of many games that I’d rather play than something from my beloved Dead or Alive series. I discovered it with Dead or Alive 3, and haven’t looked back since. In fact, before Dead or Alive 3, I was a marginal fan of fighting…

50th Anniversary Collection - Arcade Classics/Konami/News/Retro

News by Matt S. Despite the ongoing campaign of certain pundits that insist Konami is a dying brand, the company’s actually doing plenty well for itself, and is indeed one of the oldest Japanese companies in the business. It actually turns 50 this year, and it’s looking like the company’s…

Judgement is Yakuza 2.0 – more than you may have thought

Preview by Matt S. I had the privilege to recently get some good hands-on time with SEGA’s upcoming Judgement (Judge Eyes in Japan). As I usually do, I went into this pretty vague – I try and keep myself clear of news about a game before I play it, so…

News by Matt S. Warner Bros. has continued the slow drip-feed of character trailers in the lead up to the release of Mortal Kombat 11, the latest in the goretastic goreporn b-grade horror-themed nightmare fighting series. Cage is one of the oldest characters in the series, and remains a popular…

People are making a tactical RPG about World War 2… Yippee?

News by Matt S. Long-time readers know I have issues with the way that the games industry (and entertainment industries in general – yes, you, Hollywood) present World War 2 as a vehicle for entertainment. There was nothing entertaining about a global conflict in which one side attempted actual genocide,…

Review by Matt S. Meow Motors isn’t terrible. I really can’t get over that. I went into this cheap little B-tier kart racer expecting something that reminded me just how bad kart racers can get, but I was quite surprised to find that it’s the other way. It’s no Mario…

Video by Matt S. I’m a tragic for kart racers, and tend to play even the bad ones much more than I should. So of course when I saw a game called Meow Motors land on the PlayStation 4, I immediately bought the heck out of it. Cats + Karts?…
