TGS 2014: Hands-on with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD

September 26, 2014

Final Fantasy Type-0/Final Fantasy Type-0 HD/Hands-On Impressions/Square Enix/TGS/TGS 2014/Tokyo Game Show

Impressions by Matt S. Final Fantasy Type-0 was a game I think most of us had given up on ever seeing in the west. A PSP title originally, Square Enix never saw the wisdom in localising that game, despite its status as an immediate fan favourite in its homeland of…

Gadget Review: Mionix Propus 380 Gaming Surface

September 25, 2014

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Mionix/Mionix Propus 380 Gaming Surface/mouse pad

Review by Nick H. Mouse pads come in a lot of different shapes and sizes, but few really bring anything terribly new or innovative to the table. The Propus 380 is different than any other gaming surface I have used to date in that it is slicker, faster and more…

Indie/King Dinosaur Games/News/PC/Strategy/That Which Sleeps

News by Jedediah H. For generations, you, a powerful demon, have been slumbering, sealed away because the Heroes of the world misunderstood you and your evil agenda. But now the time has come to awaken and, in your weakened form, clandestinely lead the foul agents of the world in King…

Bladestorm: Nightmare/Dead or Alive 5: Last Round/Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires/Koei Tecmo/TGS 2014/Toukiden Kiwami

News by Jedediah H. Whether you prefer strategy, tactical-action, or an all-out war of fast, elegant, and presumably pleasant smelling ninja fists, Koei Tecmo Europe has you comfortably covered. Although there’s limited information available concerning when these titles will be available in the West, Bladestorm: Nightmare, Dead or Alive 5…

Review: NHL 15 (Sony PlayStation 4)

EA/EA Sports/hockey/NHL 15/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/sports game

Review by Nick H. Last year EA Sports managed to get a couple of releases out on the new generation of consoles, such as FIFA 14 and Madden 25, but a few other franchises like NHL had to wait a year to make their next-gen debuts. Now the time has come…

New Nintendo 3DS launches early in Australia

September 25, 2014

3DS/Australia/New Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo/release date/Wayforward/Xenoblade

News by Clark A. When Nintendo revealed the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL in late August, the Japanese launch date reared its head just as hastily. Nintendo’s European and American branches have been comparatively shy about sharing the planned launch of the new systems, though, offering little…

TGS 2014: Hands-on with Godzilla on PlayStation 3

September 25, 2014

Bandai Namco/First Impressions/Godzilla/Hands-On Impressions/impressions/TGS/TGS 2014/Tokyo Game Show

Impressions by Matt S. I have a theory: it’s impossible to create a truly great Godzilla game. Allow me to explain: the fundamental problem with creating a game starring a gigantic lizard is that if he controls with the speed and precision we expect from the modern video game, fans…

Photos by Matt S. What would a trip to Tokyo Game Show be without the loot? In addition to loads (and loads) of stuff for sale, the various vendors throughout the halls were giving away everything from catalogues and pamphlets to paper fans (which, given the sheer heat of those…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Mionix/Mionix NAOS 8200 Gaming Mouse/Mouse

Review by Nick H. I have a new all-time favourite mouse. I suppose by starting with that, one could make the argument that this has the potential to be the shortest hardware review ever (pretty sure I have that record with my review of Snake – ed). Not the case,…

Review: Murasaki Baby (Sony PlayStation Vita)

September 24, 2014

Art Game/Murasaki Baby/platformer/PlayStation Vita/puzzle platformer/Reviews/Vita Review

Review by Matt S. Murasaki Baby is disturbed. Not just for its art style, which was clearly inspired by a mix of The Brothers Grimm and Tim Burton. That aesthetic has its role, and performs an admirable job of making it clear to players from the outset that this is…
