After years of successfully bringing the Musou (Warriors) framework to various anime licensed tie-ins, Koei got the chance to work on one of Nintendo’s most sacred properties, producing Hyrule Warriors. That game delivered in…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. As a big-time fan of Koei Tecmo’s Warriors (Musou) series, I’ve been looking forward to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity ever since it was announced. Now, it’s a few short weeks away, and I’ve been playing it ahead of time to get my review ready. Here…

Read MoreThere are a lot of game releases coming in June, so expect to have a big one (or add a lot to your backlog). We also chat about last week’s Battlefield V announcement and subsequent controversy. And then, for a bit of fun, we chat about the delightful, near endless…
