I don’t entirely understand newly announced FMV game Blippo+ is, but I don’t think I’m meant to. Either way, it doesn’t matter: I’m fully invested. In my mind, I’m already throwing every cent I have at Panic. Who needs to do things like pay a mortgage or feed a family when you could play… “play”?… whatever this is? The title…

Some epic games have come from RPG Maker for PC but the versions for consoles haven’t gotten as much attention. Of course, there are always the outliers, like Nestor who spent 1600 hours creating a JRPG using RPG Maker MV on Nintendo Switch. (Matt interviewed Nestor for DDNet, so check…

Monster catching? Been there. Monster battling? Done that. Monster saving? That’s not quite as popular. Announced today at the Xbox Partner Preview, Creatures of Ava is an action-adventure game about taming creatures to save them from an all-consuming life-threatening infection.

Last September, when it was announced that The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak would finally be coming West in “summer” 2024, I estimated that to mean Q3 2024. And it’s JUST eked it to Q3: it will be released in early July! Granted, that estimate isn’t much of a…
