News by Matt S. Famitsu has carried the news that Nippon Ichi Software in Japan has announced a brand new JRPG, for release in the home country early next year. Titled Destiny Connect, it looks like a dream-like story of childhood fantasy and has a fairy-tale aesthetic, and it looks…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
