A Confession… Hello, my name is Josh, and I’ve never played Symphony of the Night.
To put this plainly, Dragon Quest XI is the BEST RPG I’ve ever played. Period. It’s not just the best Dragon Quest game or the best game I’ve played in 2018. It’s the best RPG that I’ve ever played. I say this with the utmost confidence that Dragon Quest XI is better than Chrono Trigger,
Just in time for Halloween comes Yomawari: The Long Night Collection for the Nintendo Switch, a compilation of two Vita titles – Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.
Revelations Some of my favorite games and stories are the ones that subvert my initial expectations. The ones I go into expecting one thing, only for the game to pull back the curtain and reveal its true self. I’m not just talking about games including plot twists (although I do enjoy a good twist every
Open the Floodgates How often do you look at games that release in Japan, hoping and praying that they’ll eventually make their way west? Games that look intriguing or exciting, but, for one reason or another, nobody decides to localize it, so you’ll never get to play it?
Motorhead Almost everyone has one or two hobbies that they are passionate about and/or obsess over. Music, film, sports, whisky, anime, and so on, there seem to be just about as many fanbases for things as there are, well, things in existence.
Space! Action! Story! So if you know me at all on this site, this review is going to be a bit different from usual. I admit I went into this one mostly blind – Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner – M∀RS (PC version played for this review, also on PS4) is a port

[Note: Due to the fanservice-heavy nature of this game, some of the screenshots in this article may be considered NSFW.] Shake It Up The little rumble motors in our controllers are things that we have come to take for granted over the past few console generations. What was once a pretty interesting gimmick offering a

Robo-Sapience You have to admit, there is a certain type of charm to point-and-click adventure games. While I personally didn’t dive headfirst into these games when Sierra ruled the roost in its heyday, I’ve enjoyed the fruits of of the modern resurgence of the genre that’s been led by Telltale as of late. Specifically The Wolf
Back at E3, Logitech unveiled the new Logitech G512 mechanical keyboard with their brand new GX Blue mechanical switch. After having a brief hands-on with it, Logitech sent us over a unit so we could have some more time with it.
Stay For the Third Party Third-party controllers have gotten such a stereotypically bad rap that it’s pretty much a meme nowadays.

Pick Up the Pieces The sense of satisfaction that one can get from creating something can be a drug like no other. Spending time putting random pieces of stuff together into a functional and useful item, being able to point at it and say “I made that,” can give you a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.
Back in May, Undead Labs released their follow up to the cult hit State of Decay, bringing with it a new multiplayer component that lets friends tackle the zombie apocalypse alongside their friends.
