Our impressions on games we have played.
Developer: Starbreeze Studios Publisher: 505 Games MSRP: $14.99 Platforms: PSN, Steam, XBLA (reviewed) When it comes to Arcade titles, I think we often temper our expectations at least a little bit; whether we’re willing to admit it out loud or not. The obvious assumption is that, …

Developer: Namco Bandai Publisher: Namco Bandai MSRP: $59.99 Platforms: PS3 (Exclusive) The awkwardly-nicknamed “Tales of” series, frequently shortened to simply “Tales”, has a longstanding tradition of being one of the best JRPGs around.

As the world anxiously awaits the release of Rockstar’s latest entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, the studio has done a solid job building hype for the game whilst simultaneously showing nothing in the way of gameplay footage. In their most recent installment of the …
Yeah, it’s pointless. But so is every other game you like. When I tell people I’m playing Animal Crossing, they often ask me, “What’s the point of that game?” To be honest, Animal Crossing has no point. Some people can’t seem to wrap their heads around …
Final Fantasy XIV is set to relaunch this summer with the brand new subtitle of “A Realm Reborn.” The new name isn’t just some marketing ploy: FFXIV is basically a brand new game now, and my time with the game’s PS3 beta has left me feeling …
