News by Matt S. Anima Project has quietly been building up a steady following for its series based on the Anima: Beyond Fantasy tabletop pen-and-paper RPG. Anima: Ark of Sinners was the first, released on Nintendo Wii almost a decade ago, and then Anima: Gate of Memories, for PlayStation 4,…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. D3 Publisher continues to demonstrate that Earth Defence Force is one of the most creative and criminally under-appreciated properties out there. The company has shared a new trailer for the next entry into the series – World Brothers – and this thing is just amazing. See,…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. If you had played the Yomawari series then you probably were interested to see what the director, Mizokami Yu, would come up with next. They are two of the most distinctive, interesting horror games in the past decade, after all. You probably weren’t imaging a punk…
