You have to admire Atlus’ audacity with their handling of the Persona series at times. Sure, all Persona games start off as really good JRPGs, followed by an enhanced edition with more overall content, but you just have to respect the maniacal decision of canonically following up their games with...
It takes guts to develop a game and market it as a Japan-only Xbox exclusive. Such was the case with the original Phantom Breaker, an anime-styled 2D fighter full of great ideas, but long forgotten by pretty much everyone due to the aforementioned (and obvious) reason. Even though a few...
That initial Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin reveal trailer, back at Square Enix’s E3 2021 presentation… boy oh boy, that was something indeed. A lot of people cringed. Others were puzzled, who could blame them? Some were revolted with the idea of an uber-violent Final Fantasy spinoff starring Eminem’s...
Triangle Strategy wasn’t the game I assumed it was going to be. Since its announcement, all I’ve seen is “Final Fantasy Tactics 2″. So when I started to learn about the actual game, I was confused and worried. No Job System? No random encounters? Fixed recruitable party with no permadeath?...
Jeremy Clarkson once said in the launch trailer for Forza Motorsport 4, back in 2011, that we, lovers of speed, car enthusiasts, were an endangered species. In this day and age, loving cars is seen as being a villain to the future of the planet. As he masterfully mentions in...
The ideas of the multiverse are ones born out of curiosity and longing, mostly the former but plenty of the latter. Humanity wonders and theorizes about alternate realities because, let’s be honest, we’re not totally happy with the one we’re currently in. What if there was another world where things...
I still remember Conan Chop Chop‘s first reveal as an actual game in development, and not just some silly April Fool’s joke. Furthermore, I had the chance of playing it back at E3 2019 ( nearly three years ago), expecting nothing from it, yet nearly missing out on later appointments...
Rhythm games are a fickle, evil bunch of titles that I simply cannot stop playing. I was at the front of the line for those Dance Dance Revolution days back in the late 90s and early 2000s, and I mistakenly thought that smashing arrows was the same thing as being...

When it comes to gaming, I like to focus on the positive. I look for the things that work inside of otherwise questionable games, appreciating ambition and accepting when some things fall short. And it’s worked well for me, finding plenty of games to enjoy that other people pass on....
The Wang is back and harder than ever with a new sack of weapons and loads of hot new jokes. Depending on when you got into the series you may have had mixed feeling about Shadow Warrior 2‘s direction. For myself, I liked the more linear focus of the first game...
It’s been quite some time since Happy’s Humble Burger Farm was some cute little horror indie beta that was making the rounds on YouTube. After gaining traction with The Game Theorists, Markiplier, and more, Happy’s was picked up to be released by tinyBuild. Yes, that lovely publisher behind other strange...
Horror is one of my favourite genres and it has had a sort of renaissance in recent years. Some examples of the best titles released over the years include the fantastic and terrifying Visage or even The Medium, a game not all liked, but I sure did. Martha Is Dead...
