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 …
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. …

April’s Loot Crate theme is “fantasy” – so Game of Thrones and Dungeons & Dragons are pretty much a given. But this month’s Loot Crate comes with a few surprises, too, and overall, it’s one of the better crates this year. The Princess Bride Playing Cards (Albino Dragon) The most …
If there’s a formula for collector’s editions of games, it’s this: Steelbook case Season Pass Statue/Figurine Poster Art Book ???? Profit Almost every CE that comes out checks most, if not all, of those boxes, and rarely is there anything else on offer. Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris Gold Edition …
The press blurb for Bitch Planet #1 describes it as a ” highly anticipated women-in-prison sci-fi exploitation riff.” Nothing about that is false – that’s exactly what Bitch Planet is, on the surface – but it sells the book short, to some extent. Bitch Planet is certainly a “women-in-prison sci-fi exploitation riff”, but it’s so much …
