It amuses me to know that this game will almost certainly be fixated on by a large number of critics and players for its costuming. They won’t be entirely wrong for that, because the four protagonists of Onechanbara Z2: Chaos really are dressed in the most ridiculously skimpy costumes from…
Read MoreJourney was the indie darling through the last generation of consoles. A simple, emotional experience, it was a combination of graceful, elegant minimalism through its aesthetics, music, and gameplay that made for a accessible, but thematically deep and sincere adventure that anyone, regardless of experience or even interest in games,…

Read MoreI am terrible at fighting games. I watch what happens at events like EVO and shake my head in shame, knowing that I will never even come close to that kind of level of skill. Too many button combinations, too much speed. I’m a JRPG player, damn it, I like…
