News by Matt S. Miku bless Atlus/SEGA. Without that publisher we would just never see quirky Japanese games like Shining Resonance Refrain in the west. Of course, it’s SEGA’s own game and it’s been something like a decade since it bothered to localise one, but let’s not hold grudges here.…

Review: Premium Pool Arena (Nintendo Switch)

Nintendo Switch/Pool/Premium Pool Arena/Reviews/Sports/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. I love pool. It’s a game of angles and mathematics, strategy and skill. I’m absolutely woeful at it in real life, but that’s mostly because I haven’t had the time, patience or money to invest in getting good at the physical elements of the game; being…

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition has an awesome cast, and this trailer will remind you of that

News by Matt S. We’ve played Hyrule Warriors a couple of times now; on the Wii U and then on the 3DS. That doesn’t mean we’re any less interested in seeing it on the Nintendo Switch though. Not where it’s the complete package, with more characters to play with than…

The Sinking City has me very excited, but also very concerned

News by Matt S. Frogwares, the developer behind the upcoming The Sinking City, has released a new developer diary, showcasing how the developers have tackled H.P Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos, which the game is based on. A lot of what is said in the developer diary is great, but there are…

Review: Secret of Mana (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Matt S. Why didn’t Square Enix just produce a new Mana game? There’s a lot to like about this Secret of Mana remake. It’s gorgeous. It’s bright. It’s charming. But it’s not the original Secret of Mana. It’s not surprising that it can’t match the original Secret of…

Review: Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Sony PlayStation 4)

Kingdom Come Deliverance/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/Warhorse

Review by Matt S. Kingdom Come: Deliverance confuses me. On the one hand it seems like it’s a game made by people with a genuine care for their history. We don’t get many games that depict central or eastern Europe history with any kind of authority. Games set in Europe…

It has already been an incredible year for fighting games, what with that Dragon Ball one, Dissidia, and niche stuff like Under Night and Slice, Dice & Rice. And Soul Calibur VI is just on the horizon! So we talk about that this week. We also chat about realism in…

DJMax Respect/News/rhythm game/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. But the real question is will it pull us away from Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone? Probably not, but DJMax Respect is looking really fine, and will be released in just a few weeks. This is the latest in a rhythm game series that has…

Compile Heart will announce something on the 22nd!

Compile Heart/News/teaser

News by Matt S. I hate teaser countdown sites. They never give you any information about the a game, rather they just vaguely point to an announcement day, getting some free press in the process. And here I am writing a news story about one. They win. But seriously, I’m…
