Gal*Gun/Gal*Gun 2/Gal*Gun: Double Peace/Inti Creates/Nintendo Switch/Opinion/PQube/satire/sexualisation

Opinion by Matt C. Gal*Gun: Double Peace was a much smarter game than most people gave it credit for. It was trashy—and I don’t mean that pejoratively—but through that B-grade tone it achieved a pointed satire of a lot of common tropes seen in anime and games. Gal*Gun 2 has…

Review by Matt S. I’m not a parent, and a lot of the time stories that deal with that particular dynamic, between parents and their kids, pass me by. I just haven’t felt the emotional connection there, and because those stories generally rely heavily on exploring that exact emotional connection,…

Review by Matt S. Spiderweb Software isn’t a household name, but for years (and years) now the tiny outfit has managed to achieve something that most other indies will die dreaming of: establish a workable and sustainable business model. Spiderweb games are brilliantly niche, don’t overstretch themselves, and don’t get…
