Information, videos, drawings, websites… there are so many new goodies for Koei Tecmo’s Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence that we won’t be able to show you them all here. But we’re sure going to try! We were super excited to hear that this Nobunaga’s Ambition chapter was coming in English,…

Review: Tachyon Project (Microsoft Xbox One)

Given the popularity of dual stick arcade games like Geometry Wars and Super Stardust, it makes a lot of sense that we would see more twin stick shooters being made by indie developers. The genre is known for being accessible to a wide variety of gamers, yet also maddeningly difficult…

Review: Spectra (Microsoft Xbox One)

July 15, 2015

Arcade/Gateway Interactive/Mastertronic/Microsoft Xbox One/Racing Game/Reviews/Spectra/time trial/Xbox One review

Spectra is a great throwback to the yesteryear of twitch racing games. Everything about the game rings solid, yet almost nothing gives the impression of spectacular. The end result is a fun game that will entertain in small doses, but does not provide enough depth to keep me coming back…

Review: Battle Fantasia -Revised Edition- (PC)

How many 2D fighters have we played this year? Battle Fantasia is a somewhat simplistic approach to a 2D fighting game and clearly looks to similar games as inspiration. Like multiple games before it, Battle Fantasia offers a diverse range of characters that all have different fighting styles, with no…

Three times Five Nights at Freddy’s obviously wasn’t enough. Not only is the fourth installment of Scott Cawthon’s popular indie point-and-click horror game on its way, it is coming months ahead of the anticipated release and a new trailer has dropped. Originally slated for a Halloween 2015 release, Five Nights…

Anime Impressions: Seiyu’s Life!

With the sheer volume and range of experiences the anime industry offers today, it’s easy to view animation studios as faceless entities or ones puppeteered by charismatic individuals. And yet, it regularly takes dozens upon dozens of bit players to bring even the nichest of productions to fruition. While animators…

Review: F1 2015 (Sony PlayStation 4)

Codemasters/F1/F1 2015/Project CARS/PS4 Review/Racing Game/Reviews/Serious Racing Game/Sony PlayStation 4

Formula 1 remains my favourite form of racing. There is something about the way the cars speed around the track that is elegant, graceful, and even beautiful. It’s fast and loud, sure, but it’s also a technical and has rules of behaviour on the track that are downright gentlemanly (even…

Criminal Girls 2 is a thing, but will it be released out west?

July 14, 2015

Criminal Girls 2/Criminal Girls: Invite Only/Dengeki/News/Nippon Ichi Software

It’s a controversial game, to say the least, but Criminal Girls certainly had its fans. It’s not exactly often that sadomasochistic JRPGs are localised into English, after all. Let alone ones that at least try to do something original in the process. And now the original has a sequel. Criminal…
