For whatever reason (and I really have no idea why), I never thought to check the iOS App Store for Hatsune Miku games. I knew that there is a Miku free-to-play RPG over in Japan, because I played it at Tokyo Game Show two years ago, and my wife likes…

You’ve seen the new Star Wars movie, right? The one with lightsabers, tie fighters, Jedi, a homicidal planet, and stormtroopers? The stormtoopers are great. They’re my favourite part of the entire series. But what have stormtroopers got to do with the Kova gaming mouse? Well, it could be my imagination,…

Falcom/JRPG/PlayStation 3/PS3 Review/Reviews/The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

Twenty, even thirty hours into Trails of Cold Steel, and you’ll still be getting to know the class of nine students that form the core cast (and that’s not saying anything of the other characters that become important later on). This is a slow burn and dense game, and, while it does…

It was delayed a month, but nonetheless Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 will be released in just a few short weeks. I’m battening down the hatches against the media response to that one. Actually, in all seriousness, I doubt it will be anywhere near as controversial as that. In a…

Here’s a free lesson to all game developers out there: making a game’s visuals pixelated and calling it “retro” isn’t going to hide a staggering, insulting lack of depth. People are smarter than that. Related reading: For an example of a developer that at least tried to do something interesting…
