Secret of Mana is more than a remake and we’ve played it

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet takes the series in a whole new direction
For just about as long as the Sword Art Online anime series has existed, so has the steady stream of SAO video games also flowed like a river. It’s a very natural combination though. An anime show about people stuck in a VR MMO; it would be an insult if there wasn’t a library of games based off it. But up until this point, most have tried to emulate the MMO experience in more of a WoW/Action RPG h...[Read More]
I’m a Good Little Witch – Hands On With Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time
I must admit, I’ve only watched a few episodes of Little Witch Academia. And I’ve mostly only seen it because it’s on Netflix and a friend of mine recommended it. While I feel the show’s demographic probably skews quite a bit younger than me, I can still appreciate the quirky cuteness of it all. And I can definitely appreciate a good action-based RPG like Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time aft...[Read More]

Our Hands On with NHL 18’s New Threes Game Mode
They say that three is a magic number. Or at least that one School House Rock song said it. But in the case of NHL 18 and its latest gameplay mode, which just happens to be called “Threes”, it’s never been truer. However, it’s not the only new feature for this year’s incarnation of the beloved hockey game franchise. The latest expansion team in the NHL, The Las Vegas Golden Knights will be making ...[Read More]

Lovecraftian Call of Cthulhu E3 Preview
It’s always perplexed me that there aren’t a ton of title that draw from the dark and cryptic works of H. P. Lovecraft. But, besides the Alone in the Dark series and a small handful of titles, there’s been very little direct Lovecraftian influence and the ancient ones. Fortunately for fans of dark entities older than time itself that will one day devour the world the devs at Cyanide are taking an...[Read More]
