Video by Matt S. Okay, so we now have the first details of Dead of Alive 6, and one of the very first things the game producer said about it is that Koei Tecmo has taken big steps to tone down the sex. Meanwhile, they’ve massively upped the violence, what…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is a rare game for me; a esports competitive multiplayer-style game that I’ve actually stuck with for more than a couple of weeks. I really, really like this game. Related reading: Our review of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT This week Square Enix…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. I had a chance to mosey on over to Bandai Namco and test out two of its upcoming games; Ni No Kuni 2 (due next month) and Soulcalibur VI (due eventually). In short: boy is Namco in for a good year this year. I haven’t played…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle is not a very good game, unfortunately. It’s a clumsy, clunky and amateurish production. That, of course, is part of its charm for the very small niche that would look at the screenshots and even think to give it a go.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Pokken Tournament is a difficult game for me to review. Fundamentally I don’t like it much, but that’s simply a consequence of the kind of fighting games that I do like, rather than a comment on the quality of this game itself. Pokken Tournament is popular…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Absolver is a game with a lot of bold ideas. When the stars align and these different ideas come together well, it’s a captivating experience and one I could see myself losing many hours in. Sadly, it’s unusual that the game actually hits that sweet spot;…
