Atlus Teases 7 Persona Projects for 25th Anniversary

Whether you are stealing hearts, solving murders, or simply hanging out in the Velvet Room, the Persona franchise is one of style and substance. As a huge fan of the series, the 25th anniversary has not gone unnoticed, at least for me.…

Company of Heroes 3 Announced

Well, that crept upon us in a rather weird way, didn’t it? Which is also what most of Europe said about the early 1940s. Topical, as it seems you’ll be able to finally end that bloody war that Jack Churchill is once quoted…

Boomerang X (PC) Review

What’s the main appeal of a first-person shooter? I’d wager the majority of gamers would answer that it’s the thrill ride one gets being in control of a protagonist up against an onslaught of foes, only given the tool in their hands…

Achievements Have Ruined Games

If you were alive and gaming sometime between 2001 and 2008 or are a part of the current generation, I want you to know that I despise something specific that came around that generation. I don’t hate you the Tiktoks I don’t…

Glyph (Switch) Review

I love games like Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball. The obstacle courses that test your balance, physics knowledge, and platforming skills are always so much fun. Glyph takes that idea and wraps it up in a classic collect-a-thon style, and it…

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny (Switch) Review

The Disgaea franchise is one of my favorite RPG franchises of all time. That is mostly due to the fact that it is completely silly, ridiculous, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Disgaea 6 takes the best parts of Disgaea and turns…

Mass Effect 1: Legendary Edition (XBO) – Review

I pledge allegiance to Jean-Luc of the United Federation of Planets, and to Glasgow-kiss everyone that gets in the way of a peaceful resolution. I think it fair to say, through all that I write about and all that I consume in…

Retro-Futuristic Voidspeed Outlaw Gets New Trailer

I am notoriously terrible at racing games. In fact, driving in video games, in general, is a recipe for disaster. Anyone who has played Saints Row 3 (or 4) with me can tell you that putting me behind a wheel is a…

Court Overturns Apple’s Stay In Case With Epic

As a quick recap, about this time last year, Epic Games started a complete mess by trying to circumnavigate store fees that Apple and Google require for any purchase done through their mobile storefronts. This includes microtransactions, which was the thing Epic attempted…
