News by Matt S. Koei Tecmo is bringing Atelier Rorona to the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. And it may well be a different game to the JRPG classic on the PlayStation 3 and Vita. See, the Atelier Rorona on the Nintendo 3DS has a completely different art style to the…

Review by Matt S. Disney Magical World is an example of a game that takes inspiration from elsewhere, and then does its own thing with from that basis, and in the process becomes something unique and worthy in its own right. Borrowing heavily from the raw concept of Animal Crossing,…

Review by Jim S. For the 35th anniversary of the Alien franchise, Sega and The Creative Assembly have released Alien: Isolation. I can’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate one of the most beloved sci-fi horror films ever made. The game takes place 15 years after the events…

News by Clark A.It was 2011 when Nintendo released a remake of the Nintendo 64’s classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS. While obviously not as influential as its forefather, it was generally well-received by critics and players alike. So well-received, in fact, that it spawned a…

Gadget Review: PDP Nerf Armor – Nintendo 2DS

Review by Nick H. The 2DS is a strange beast for Nintendo handhelds as it forgoes the clamshell folding design that had worked so well with previous DS units. That design means that it needs a robust carry case to protect those previous screens from damage while out and about.…

Review by Matt S. Atlus games lend themselves well to anime adaptations, because the narratives of those games are invariably the most engaging part of them. As we saw from the Persona 4 animation, for instance, by cutting out the occasionally repetitive dungeon exploration, the overall experience, if anything, improved…

Anime review: Attack on Titan Collection 2 (Blu-Ray)

Review by Matt S. I was a big fan of the opening opus of Attack on Titan. Underneath its highly-refined popular anime art style and pacing was a series that offered something substantially more, beyond action sequences and filler between more action sequences.

3DS Review/Bandai Namco Games/brawler/licensed game/Nintendo 3DS/Power Rangers Super Megaforce/Reviews

Review by Nick H. Power Rangers Super Megaforce draws heavily on the long running show, its story is basic and uninspired, and most of the gameplay elements are no better. That is not to say it is a terrible game, but Power Rangers Super Megaforce is pedestrian at best, and…

Review by Matt S. Australia’s Torus Games is a specialist in licensed games. Over its long history (which has extended as far back as the original Game Boy), the studio hasn’t been responsible for what you could call classic games, but it has done a better job than many other…
