Bubble Bobble is one of the greatest games ever made, and it’s also my go-to game when I’ve been asked about my favourite game of all time. Taito’s certainly done some interesting things with the Bubble Bobble IP over the years, and while a lot of the spinoff games have…

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.

I really never thought I would play Jesus Christ does Morrowind. There are Christian games, yes (and they’re universally terrible). There are open world games. It’s such a surreal idea to combine the two of these that I’m still struggling to parse it despite having played through the prologue. And…
