Review by Mikhail M. Duke Nukem 3D is a very special game. I’ve played it multiple times across the original release on DOS and the Megaton edition on PlayStation Vita from a few years ago. Duke Nukem 3D has been released once again in the form of Duke Nukem 3D:…

Review by Matt S. Having Hatsune Miku in Virtual Reality was one of the key reasons that I was interested in the PlayStation VR, and I’m not even going to pretend otherwise. The first game to feature the waifu to end all waifus is less of what you’d call a…

Review by Matt S. It’s always risky to base an artwork on a completely foreign culture. It can be done, of course, but regardless of how much you respect a culture, basing a work on it runs the risk of giving the entire setting a superficiality and shallowness that comes…
