Review by Nick H. Boasting a recreation of more than 130 shops from real life in an effort to painstakingly represent Japan’s Otaku Mecca, Akihabara, Akiba’s Trip (yes, it’s part of the pun if you read it as “Akiba Strip”) is a brawling game with some RPG elements and a…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. It’s a popular sentiment that games need to justify their price tag with either substantial content or considerable replayability. It’s a topic we’ve discussed at length in the past and a plight I can sympathise with – games aren’t free, after all. One of the many…
