Doctor Who “Sleep No More” – Review

Sleep no more? I can hardly keep my eyes open at another base-under-siege story Mark. I’ll thank you for offering up the most boring horror-bent on my birthday, or at least it was at the weekend when I typically watch these. Regardless…

Trek to Yomi (PC) Review

It was a little over a month ago that I had the chance to play a preview copy of Trek to Yomi. With visuals inspired by the likes of Akira Kurosawa and a story that combines timeless samurai cinema with Japanese mythology,…

Action RPG Thymesia Gets August Release Date

I’m always intrigued when dark fantasy RPGs can still maintain a colorful aesthetic. Thymesia has a strong style to it already, and I have been following it for a while. It might not be the sort of thing I would play myself…

Hitman III (XBO) – Review

While I have been dipping my toes into the world of Elden Ring, I’m not what most people would consider a Soulslike devotee. I’m not a huge fan of the “difficulty for difficulty’s sake” style of gaming, since I find myself more…

Will the Next Nintendo Direct Bring Surprise Releases?

The past few Nintendo Direct presentations have been notorious for dropping games on the day of the Direct. It is almost a tradition by now that at least one game gets a surprise release. As such, I started thinking about what surprise…

GTA: San Andreas (PS2) – Review

The PS2 version is the real “Definitive Edition.” To say I like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas would be like saying some people like a PS1 JRPG that came on two discs. It is one of the reasons for my adoration of…

Will Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes Have a True Ending?

Since Fire Emblem Fates was released, Intelligent Systems has tried out various ways of creating a multi-perspective story. In Fire Emblem Fates, each path was a different version of the game, with Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation presenting what is considered the “true…
