I’ll be honest: I’ve never been that big of an Xbox fan. As a brand, it often seems to prioritise things that just don’t interest me all that much: shooters, sports games, multiplayer, technical performance. Sure, Ori and the Blind Forest is one of my favourite games of all time, …
We’re a few days into January now, which means 2018 is a thing of the past. It saw a seemingly endless string of game releases—I played and reviewed well over 100 new games myself, and even that seemed to barely scratch the surface. (I also finally picked up a Switch …
It’s not unusual for a Japanese arcade hit to never see the light of day in the West, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating for fans (or would-be fans) of a particular game. Such has long been the case for drum-based rhythm game Taiko no Tatsujin: it’s been …
The latest trailer for God Eater 3, announcing a February 8, 2019 release date. From Bandai Namco: “In a world ravaged by the Aragami, horrendous beasts living only to destroy and devour, Adaptative God Eaters are forced to fight as the last hope of humanity.

Living in New Zealand, on a street that doesn’t have fibre yet (but will soon!), I tend to take it as a given that my online experiences with fighting games aren’t going to be great. Depending on the game, the other player, and other little details, playing online ranges from …
Today, Bandai Namco has revealed the track lists for the forthcoming drumming rhythm games Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun for Switch and Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session for PS4. The lists match those of the Japanese releases of each game, covering a range of different themes: pop, anime, classical, game music, variety, vocaloid …
