DDNet does Japan! Day #27: Heading back home (but it’s not over!)

September 28, 2015

This is just a quick note today to say I’m on my way back from Japan. Talk about depressing. This really has been the trip of a lifetime. But I guess good things have to come to an end and besides I’d run out of money. Anyway, I still have…

list/The games of October

You know, there’s a point where a release schedule is so packed that it’s just a little crazy. How anyone is going to be able to play (much less afford) all the games that they’ll want this month is beyond us. Because regardless of your taste in games we can…

Anime review: Love Live! School Idol Project: Season 1 (DVD)

anime/anime review/comedy/idol/Love Live!/Love Live! School Idol Project

The Japanese do love their idols. From AKB48 and onwards, just about every town and city in the country has an idol group. Some are local, and only of a couple of people. Others are the size of AKB (127 active members at a time). These groups of charmingly pretty…

Review: Etrian Mystery Dungeon (Nintendo 3DS)

September 25, 2015

3DS Review/Atlus/Etrian Mystery Dungeon/Etrian Odyssey/JRPG/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/Roguelike

Distinctive Games/iPad Review/Reviews/Rugby/Rugby Nations 16/sports game

It can be tough to build a sports game on a budget. Complex and unwieldy messes of physics and strategy as they are, building a sports game requires a development team to have an engine that is able to respond realistically to more variables than perhaps any other genre. It…

DDNet does Japan! Day #26: The guys, girls, and characters of TGS, Part 2

September 24, 2015

booth babe/Japan/TGS/TGS 2015/Tokyo Game Show/Tour Japan/travel

One of the oddities about TGS when compared to game shows elsewhere in the world is that TGS organisers allow, if not outright encourage, “booth babes.” Every single major booth at the show had brightly costumed men and women handing out promotional material, posing for photos, and otherwise being of…
