Most people would tell you that of all the Onimusha titles (which are, sadly, too few), Onimusha 2 is the finest. Yes, the third title has Jean Reno, and that is inherently excellent, but as far as realising the creative vision of the series is concerned, Onimusha 2 is where it all clicks together the best. What concerns me is…

Shinto is one of those things that most people who know anything about Japan have some vague concept of, but don’t really know anything about. From experience, they’re also rarely interested and that’s depressing. Tourists in Japan do cheerfully visit Shinto shrines, before mistaking them for Buddhist temples (and vice…

Ah, I do love the smell of a Nintendo Direct first thing in the morning! It even gets me out of bed, which is a remarkable feat these days. Today’s Direct is about 40 minutes long and features games coming out in the second half of 2024 or soon thereafter.…

I haven’t decided what to call Not-E3 yet. It needs a catchy name and Summer Game Fest ain’t it. Regardless of whether or not I’m prepared, though, that annual crazy week of game showcases at the beginning of June seems to be starting early this year with today’s PlayStation State…

As usual, yesterday’s Apple Event was pretty spiffy. Like it does every September, it focused on Apple Watch and iPhones. It’s the iPhones part that’s relevant here though. While showing off the capabilities of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, it was announced that two Resident Evil…

Not-E3 is over for another year – I wonder if it will ever become a single event again. I’d like this week to have a better name than Not-E3, that’s for sure. I’ve compiled fifteen of my most anticipated games from all the showcases I’ve already covered, one game each.…
