Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is a deeply unsettling game. And I mean that as a genuine compliment. I don’t think there has been another game that has managed to shake me quite as profoundly as this one. Related reading: At the least you should consider playing the original…

For console gamers, the term “war” probably brings up a lot of memories, both embarrassing and poignant. Between the time your best friend ruined your 40 kill-streak by lobbing a knife at your crotch and tea-bagging your demoralized avatar in Call of Duty, and the time you murdered a crazed…

Well, we hope that you’ve invented a way to stop time, or at least double the length of each day, because otherwise your backlog is going to get far bigger. Far, far bigger. September’s lineup of games is nothing short of brutal and we don’t think it’s humanly possible to…

I like a game that backs itself like Dungeon Travelers 2 does. It’s a game purely for the most otaku of otaku, rooted in eroge tradition, and it doesn’t even pretend its not. There’s no apology and no attempt to conceal what the game is with some softer, more “mainstream”…
