I admit, I might have a slight obsession with Urban Myth Dissolution Center, which launches in February 2025. It sounds wonderful: the publisher describes it as a single-player psycho-detective mystery adventure that has a unique blend of psychological intrigue and supernatural investigation. It is split into episodes/chapters, and the latest trailer showcases what comes in Episode 2: Death from the…
Super Monkey Ball is cute. Hatsune Miku is cute. Sega has its hand in both. It just makes sense to bring the real pop princess to Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, the latest game in the long-running series. Paid DLC for guest characters Hatsune Miku and Godzilla will launch next…
When it comes to the Atelier series, combat and synthesis are core…

I’m obsessed with the paranormal. The older I get, the more interested I am in it. It started as a mortality thing, but has expanded past that into sheer curiousity. I’ll read what I can, watch what I can, listen to what I can. I’m very open to what others…

In September, NIS America’s showcase featured games coming to the west in early 2023. Among them was Process of Elimination, a murder mystery game reminding me very much of the Danganronpa series (and that’s not a bad thing). The murder mystery game launched in Japan in May of this year,…

It’s the day a lot of people have been waiting for: The Game Awards. Developers want to win awards, while players want news on the biggest upcoming titles. My issue with this? The titles featured tend to follow the same blueprint: male character, on a mission, often in space, shooty…

I’m all about retro graphics lately, especially ones that remind me of cuddling up in my mom’s bed playing Game Boy when I was young. (Technically it was my sister’s, but she was usually willing to share when she wasn’t using it.) Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is a story-exploration game…

There was a statement floating around social media on the weekend stating “JRPGs were made during an era that didn’t have the tools to create action RPGs. Nowadays the average gamer doesn’t want random turn-based combats that don’t make any sense.” I don’t know who said that (I saw a…

First came Amnesia: The Dark Decent in 2010, kickstarting a new genre of survival horror games (or so the developer claims, it’s up to you to decide). Then there was an indirect sequel, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Ten years after the original came Amnesia: Rebirth, which took physics-based mechanics…

If you like blood and violence and samurais and remakes, Like a Dragon: Ishin! may be for you. It’s a Yakuza game at heart, despite the differing name. It’s a bit confusing as there was a 2020 game called Yakuza: Like a Dragon, but this is completely separate (and unfortunately…
