Originally revealed during a Japanese Nintendo Direct earlier this year, the asymmetrical escape-action game Pritto Prisoner is now set to launch for PC and Nintendo Switch in two weeks. When I say “potty” party escape game, I mean it: bodily functions are your ultimate tools for victory! Who doesn’t need to relax with some laughter after big holiday events?…
Disgaea 7 launched a few days ago in Japan, which makes the announcement of its western release perfectly timed. Trailers have been dropping consistently over the past several months, including this one from November 9. Now, with its western launch window announced, the English trailers will start coming in for…
Read MoreGoldenEye 007 has been the talk of the town again over the last few days, thanks to its recent re-release on to Nintendo Switch and the Xbox Game Pass service. There are, apparently, issues with the Game Pass version, but the Switch port is basically exactly the game you remember…
Read MoreWonder Boy is one of those classic gaming icons that you’ve probably encountered at some point in your gaming life, whether it’s the classic arcade game or the more recent remakes of titles such as Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap. I say “recent”, and then I look it up…
Read MoreI’ve been excited for a return to Forgotten Valley since Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life was announced; I remember playing the original, though barely. At that point in time (2003) it was still branded as Harvest Moon. Of the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons titles, it stands out for one…

When you think of England’s iconic moors,…

Read MoreLife is Strange 2 is a bit of an anomaly in the Life is Strange series (including the spin-off) – it is the only one that features a male protagonist. I remember way back in 2018 (it seems like a decade ago) when the game was announced, I was hesitant…
Read MoreIt’s amazing to think that the Japanese, who have such a long and fine heritage with video games, have not traditionally been that prolific with board games. There are the classics, of course (Hanafuda card games, Shogi), and there are one or two hits (Love Letter being arguably the most…
Read MoreIt has been months (yes, plural) since Ten Dates was announced, so it’s about time we finally get a proper announcement trailer for it! It’s properly timed to really hype up players, though, so the wait was absolutely worth it. I was obsessed with its predecessor, Five Dates, when it…
