Review by Brad L. The current generation of consoles has become host to a constant barrage of remastered, remade, and upscaled games from the 1990s and beyond. Classics such as Crash Bandicoot, BioShock, Final Fantasy and all those Wii U titles that never sold well because the console was a…

Review: Pokémon: Let’s Go Eevee (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. “They did what to my precious Pokémon Blue/Red/Yellow?!?” I was not amused with the news that Nintendo’s glorious high-definition remaster of the game of my childhood was using the same gimmicky and dull monster catching minigame of Pokémon Go on mobile. Pokémon Blue is a precious memory to…

Review by Matt S. When you boil a tennis video game down to its most basic components, you get Pong. One of the very first video games ever made was, effectively, a simulation of bouncing a ball back and forth across a court, with the goal being to get that…

Review by Lindsay M. A young woman is dead. Strangled in her own home. A trio of tarot readers predicted it — but does that mean they were directly involved in the murder? It seems like a tale you’d find in a classic murder mystery film. That actually accurately describes…

Review: Road Redemption (Sony PlayStation 4)

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Racing/Reviews/Road Redemption/Roguelike

Review by Matt S. Mad Max is a classic for a reason. A blighted landscape, humanity scratching out an existence, and brutal thugs that look to lord it over the scraps of what remains makes for a grim, but powerful setting. One used over and over again to explore some…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/HyperX/HyperX Pulsefire Core RGB Gaming Mouse/Mouse

Review by Nick H. The HyperX Pulsefire Core RGB Gaming Mouse will not break your budget, but offers solid design but not a lot of the extra frills found in higher end gaming mice. The features it does provide however, are all essentials that are generally well implemented. The first…

We have a release date for The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince

November 12, 2018

News/Nippon Ichi Software/NISA/The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Nippon Ichi has the “twisted fairy tale” aesthetic and tone down pat. Especially with these 2D puzzle platformer game things that it keeps producing. A Rose in the Twilight and htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary on the PlayStation Vita are both perfect examples of NIS’ mastery over…
