Review by Matt S. The image of a massive explosion coming down from the skies, bringing complete devastation with it and great social and personal change in the aftermath is a story that you’ll find retold over and over again in Japan. It’s a country already prone to frequent disasters,…

Review by Matt S. Ubisoft doesn’t have a new Assassin’s Creed game for this holiday season; the first time in a while. Rather than allow Christmas to go without anything from the series, however, the publisher has instead bundled up a number of the older games in the franchise –…

Review by Britta S. The original Ittle Dew game came out just over two years ago, first for Ouya and PC, then for Wii U and mobile. It attracted attention because it is crafted in the classic mould of Zelda games, with A Link to the Past being closest, while…

Review by Brad L. Being able to live forever is going to be high up on just about everyone’s “three wishes” list if they ever come across a genie’s lamp in their lifetime. Imagine if that wish had come true, but in order to live forever, it means coming back…

Game Theory by Matt S. I’ve touched on the topic of Hatsune Miku’s presence in reality in the past, but as I was playing through Steins;Gate 0 over the last couple of weeks, the discussion over the “realness” of virtual people got me thinking about the topic all over again.…
