Saint Seiya: Soldiers’ Soul offers a solid story for those who are either tremendous fans of the anime, or even those who have no experience with its tales and are relatively curious about what the fuss is. There is a lot of story here, which is great. Unfortunately the combat…

As Homer Simpson once said; “the light, it burns!” and in Once Upon Light, the light burns so intensely you die. It’s not a game that will lead you to enlightenment (see what I did there?), but you’ll have a good time nonetheless. The game is displayed entirely in black…

Where would we be without Idea Factory? Probably in a similar place in life, to be fair, but we would have far fewer games to enjoy on our PlayStation Vitas. The publisher has just announced a new JRPG, in Trillion: God of Destruction, as a PlayStation Vita exclusive. Due for…

Rock Band 4 brings the band and the fun back together after several years off. The rhythm gaming market has changed quite a bit since Guitar Hero and Rock Band hit the scene and oversaturated the market with too many releases. Having had time to let people miss the series…
