Heroes are defined by their actions. That’s something that’s been at the core of Spider-Man since his inception. The old adage about power and responsibility comes to mind, but it runs deeper than that: anyone can be a hero by doing heroic things. Whether a nerdy kid from Queens, the …
You of assume that by now, everyone with an interest in Ōkami would have played it—after all, it’s been ported to just about every console under the sun since its PS2 debut in 2006. Still, I didn’t play it myself until the PS4 release last year, even though it’s extremely …
By Naly_D Over the past week, I’ve been reviewing Madden 19. On Sunday night I summed up my final thoughts, and got ready to submit it. On Monday morning I woke up to horrific news—a shooting at a Madden tournament in the United States. The review will be delayed out …
La Dama de la Muerte is quite the departure from Lady Mechanika‘s steampunk roots. Instead, this story is focused squarely on the Mexican Dia de Muertos festival, and the beliefs and legends that come with it. The result is a book that may not be as action-packed as other Lady …

Announcements of Switch ports come so thick and fast these days that it’s easy to gloss over them. Here’s one no JRPG fan will want to miss, though: Grandia and Grandia II are headed to Nintendo’s hybrid console in HD remastered form, courtesy of GungHo Online Entertainment. The two games will be bundled together …
It’s a rare treat to play a game like Octopath Traveler. Games that mimic the style of the 16-bit JRPG glory days are dime a dozen, but it’s not often a game achieves that classic feel while also being decidedly fresh and modern. That’s a tightrope that Octopath Traveler walks …
