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

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…

News by Lindsay M. Pika pika! Warner Bros. released a two-minute trailer for the upcoming Detective Pikachu today, sending Pokémon fans into a frenzy. And with good reason. The trailer features everyone’s favourite fuzzy yellow companion, in detective form. The film is set in familiar Ryme City, with its neon-lit…

Review: Townsmen (Nintendo Switch)

Nintendo Switch/Reviews/simulation/Switch Review/Townsmen

Review by Matt S. If it wasn’t for Project Highrise landing on Nintendo Switch just a week ago, I’d be recommending Townsmen. The Nintendo Switch is a perfect device for city building simulators, but aside from a really (really) poor port of Cities: Skylines and a cheap little mobile port…

Gadget review by Nick H With the Roccat Khan Pro, the marketing is straightforward. The focus is on three things: sound quality, being lightweight, and versatility. All all three fronts, the Khan PRO delivers high quality with only one potential concern for down the road. I will tackle these three…

Review: Tetris Effect (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 9, 2018

action puzzle/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Tetris/Tetris Effect/Tetsuya Mizuguchi

Review by Matt S. People who love Tetris will love Tetris Effect, because it is Tetris. If I’m stating the obvious, it’s only because this game was being pitched on not being a “pure” Tetris, but rather some kind of fusion between Tetris and the neon-and-music genius that made Rez…

Review: Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix (Nintendo Switch)

JRPG/Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/tactics game

Review by Matt S. Once of the better value packages that you can buy on the Nintendo Switch is Mercenaries Saga Chronicles. The collection features three tactics JRPGs by RideonJapan, and while these games all come off as a cheap homage to Final Fantasy Tactics, and don’t reach the standards…

Review: Déraciné (Sony PlayStation VR)

Review by Matt S. FromSoftware, best known to us for its Dark Souls formula, likes to be subtle. Part of the appeal of the Dark Souls series is how little they give players up front, challenging them to instead piece together the rich, deep lore through their exploration of the…

News/Nintendo Switch/YouTube

News by Matt S. You can never have YouTube on too many devices, apparently. In the grand scheme of things it’s hard to imagine why having YouTube on Nintendo Switch would be a big deal, but you just know that some people out there will get a lot from it.…

Review: Swap This! (Nintendo Switch)

November 8, 2018

Nintendo Switch/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Swap This!/Switch Review/Two Tribes

Review by Matt S. Swap This! costs about a dollar. When I think about the other things I can get for a dollar – one candy bar, or about 1/3 of a cup of coffee, it’s hard to look at Swap This! as anything but good value. It’s a simple…
