There are few words that could actually express my excitement over being able to write this, and most and curses, so let’s just say that I’m extremely excited to finally be able to state that yes, the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series is finally coming to consoles. Most importantly, it’s…

One of the things that made the truly memorable pixel-era JRPGs like Final Fantasy IV-VI, Chrono Trigger, Secret Of Mana and Dragon Quest IV-VI so special was that they backed the classic turn-based JRPG action that people loved with narratives that were genuinely intelligent and had serious things to say.…

I’m obsessed with the paranormal. The older I get, the more interested I am in it. It started as a mortality thing, but has expanded past that into sheer curiousity. I’ll read what I can, watch what I can, listen to what I can. I’m very open to what others…

Until now, Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse had been the one that got away. It was originally Project Zero 4, a Wii-exclusive horror game that brought together Nintendo, Tecmo, and Grasshopper Manufacture (yes, including Goichi Suda), and was a particularly beloved game in that series.

Dragon Quest Treasures is a very chill, very laid-back game. It doesn’t ask too much of the player, but gives them a wonderful, vibrant world to explore, filled with sparkly treasure to loot. It would never work as a numbered Dragon Quest – it’s too limited for that – but…

May the great vocaloids above bless D3 Publisher for eternity. Without this company and its love of publishing B-grade aesthetics, we wouldn’t have the likes of Onechanbara, School Girl/Zombie Hunter and Earth Defence Force and the games industry would be a much darker place. I mean this quite sincerely, too.…

For the last five days, I’ve found myself quite hooked on a humble minigame collection, called, simply, Advent Calendar. The game does what the name on the box promises – each day you open one new “present” under the virtual tree, and each of those “presents” is a new minigame…

Bless their hearts, the team at the developer, Siactro, try hard. The people at this developer obviously love early-era 3D platformers. Previous efforts include Toree 3D and Toree 2, and while they’re not great, the love that goes into them is real and obvious. They’re the kind of projects that…
