There’s something special about going back and experiencing old games with fresh eyes. I’m not talking about revisiting childhood staples, though that is great too, but playing games for the first time that are 10, 20, even 30 years old. Some games buckle under the weight of their age, others hardly …
I love spicy food. I also hate spicy food. An oxymoron? Sure, but it is what it is. I love the flavour of spicy food, and I love the tingly sensation it leaves in your mouth. But I don’t like food so spicy it burns, becomes uncomfortable, and forces me …
Whittakers is no stranger to weird, sometimes wonderful Special Edition confectionery creations.

An English version of Bravely Second: End Layer, the sequel to the hit JRPG Bravely Default, is probably a ways off yet. An international release hasn’t even been announced yet, though it’s looking highly likely that it will happen at E3 later this month. There’ll be at least a few …
It’s an interesting situation to find yourself in, trying to write a review for something that leaves you lost for words. But here I am. Trying to get my feelings (God, so many feelings) in order, and trying to describe something that mere words can’t do justice. Well, here goes nothing. …
