Dragon’s Crown and Its Breath Taking Beauty
Dragon’s Crown, the latest from Vanillaware, gives me hope for my PS Vita. Since Persona 4 Golden came out there hasn’t been anything released for the system that looks worth downloading for free off PSPlus, much less spending money on. But even if the Vita ...

Torment: Tides of Numenera, eh
Torment: Thides of Numenera,the “spiritual sequel” to Planescape: Torment, is in its last couple of days over at Kickstarter.And I just can’t find myself being terribly excited by that fact. Planescape: Torment is one of the most highly regarded video ...

Lighthouses: A (Spoiler-Free, don’t worry) Purview of BioShock Infinite

Shin Megami Tensei IV Confirmed for U.S.

Killer is Dead, Long Live Suda 51
