E3 2018 Hands-on: We Happy Few

At E3 we got a chance to sit down and play an entire hour of We Happy Few.  For me personally, I knew of the game, I had seen small parts of it years ago, but I hadn’t really kept up with it. It was always something I wanted to see more of though and

E3 2017 Quick-Look: Detroit: Become Human

David Cage and his studio, Quantic Dream, are polarizing figures in the gaming world. Known for creating games that are more interactive film than video game, you either love the presentation and storytelling or despise it. Having a middle ground opinion here is somewhat rare. I personally lean more on the positive side of opinion

When it comes to localizing smaller or lesser known (in the West) Japanese titles, XSEED Games is generally seen as one of the best.
