4A Games/deep silver/E3/E3 2018/FPS/Metro Exodus

News by Harvard L. Metro has always been a black sheep when it came to the FPS genre. The original game released in 2010 and stood as a harsh counterpoint to popular design at the time: a melancholic world where guns were rickety, unreliable contraptions and proper bullets were valuable…

News by Lindsay M. It’s day three of four of our press conference coverage, and it’s the busiest yet! Starting things off with a hopeful bang is Square Enix; while all eyes seem to be on the developer/publisher for Final Fantasy VII, I’m actually most curious as to whether we’ll…

Review: Samurai Defender: Ninja Warfare (Nintendo Switch)

June 11, 2018

action game/Circle Entertainment/FlyHigh Works/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Samurai Defender/Switch Review/Tower defence/Tower Defense

Review by Matt S. Samurai Defender is the kind of aggressively pointless experience that I find frustrating beyond all else. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s also not memorable in the slightest, and while I don’t expect every video game ever made to be a masterpiece, I do think…

E3/E3 2018/EA Originals/Sea of Solitude

News by Harvard L. A day before E3 I saw a tweet jokingly asking that the only thing they want to see at this year’s convention was genuine human emotion. Thanks to Cornelia Geppert and Jo-Mei Games, the team behind Sea of Solitude, we not only got that, we got…

E3/E3 2018/Sable/Shedworks/wasteland

News by Harvard L. We’ve seen our fair share of wastelands this E3, from urban, to nuclear, to zombified, but none could be described as beautiful until now. There are few games on show this year which are truly eye-catching, and then along comes Sable which expresses the simple joy…

VIDEO: Dead Or Alive 6 drops sex for violence… Is this the right move?

Video by Matt S. Okay, so we now have the first details of Dead of Alive 6, and one of the very first things the game producer said about it is that Koei Tecmo has taken big steps to tone down the sex. Meanwhile, they’ve massively upped the violence, what…

News by Clark A. That J-Stars Victory VS got a worldwide release was a miracle. Watching decades of manga characters from Shounen Jump magazine duke it out is the stuff dreams are made of. Despite the all the ingredients for delicious fanservice seeming to be in place, though, our editor-in-chief…

Devolver Digital/E3/E3 2018/Metal Wolf Chaos XD/My Friend Pedro/SCUM

News by Lindsay M. This is the second year for Devolver’s Digital E3 event, and last year’s was certainly something so we’re pretty amped for the sarcasm and cool games! Devolver’s digital event begins with a bang — err, a crack? — and some jabs at traditional press conferences. This…

E3/E3 2018/Microsoft Xbox One

News by Lindsay M. It’s the beginning of the second day of four that consist of various E3 press conferences and digital events, and here to start things off is the Xbox Briefing, which I really believe is more of a “Microsoft” briefing now. We expect very little surprise from…
