David Bowie was in so many ways the reason I am doing what I do today. It was his music that inspired me to take art – all art – seriously. It was his music that I would listen to on loop as I studied at school and university. One…

Review: Corgi Warlock (PC)

Corgi Warlock is not a concept that was doomed from the start. It has a wacky setup (appropriate for indie games like this), a talented individual behind the project, and a host of warrior animals. Unfortunately, it fails in the execution. Perhaps “fail” is too strong, but seeing Corgi Warlock…

On paper, 2016 is shaping up to be one of the finest years for anime in ages. Between fresh IPs, high-profile adaptations such as My Hero Academia, and the return of dormant franchises like Berserk, there’s ample reason to party. The winter season probably won’t be the peak of 2016’s…

I’m a fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, which I see as the more intelligent and insightful of the major blockbuster franchises. That being said, I am a much bigger fan of the games in the series where Ubisoft takes a creative risk and does something a little daring to…

Summon Night 5 is a strategy JRPG and part visual novel, released for the PSP, but also playable on the PlayStation Vita. It’s not going to revolutionise the genre, but it is, nevertheless, a very fine example of it. Related reading: Strategy RPG fans really need to check out Disgaea…
