News by Matt S. Rhythm game, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f absolutely took me by storm when it was released earlier this year. It was challenging, it had great music, and Hatsune Miku is a star. The E3 trailer for the sequel promises pretty much the same thing, but I’m…

Think about it; when we talk about hardcore simulation or strategy games, we often like to joke that they’re “spreadsheets;” a series of numbers and variables that can be manipulated to optimal effect.

Read MoreOh look. I was right. Nintendo was never going to acquire Atlus. That was a silly rumour perpetuated by one dude with a poorly-informed opinion putting digital pen to digital paper. (In fairness, I didn’t quite guess which company would make the acquisition either, but I was on the right…
Read MoreSonic Generations on home consoles far exceeded the standards of the average anniversary game. Ironing out the kinks of Sega’s past efforts such as Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours, the game seamlessly rotated between 2D and 3D mechanics and transcended what could have been a cash-in nostalgia gimmick.
