We had thought that Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX would be released this month – we even announced it in our list of monthly releases, because that had been the original expected release date. Sadly, the production line seems to have encountered some difficulties over at SEGA HQ, and the…

Experimental from start to finish, Toren is a breathtaking, insightful, and incisive experience. A sincere attempt to recapture the rhythm and form of poetry within the bounds of an interactive game, I am confident in saying it’s unlike anything you have ever played before, but once you move past its…

Taking a free-to-play mobile game as popular as Puzzle & Dragons, and trying to spin it into a “pay once, play forever” type of experience was a great risk. Perhaps greater than even the publisher, GungHo, predicted. Related reading: You can also check out our review of the original mobile…

Anyone who has spent ten minutes reading my writing knows that the shooter genre and I get along about as well as cats and dogs do. Sure, we form temporary alliances so that we can be a tag team for a wonderfully silly children’s movie or two, but for the…

What’s quite incredible about Spartan Assault is that it has managed to encapsulate the atmosphere and design of the Halo games, previously exclusive to Microsoft systems, into the confines of an iPad. From the way troops behave, to the weapons and locations, it feels like an authentic Halo experience, even…
