SEGA Buys Atlus, Internet Freaks Out
I love Atlus. I think they make some of the most interesting and unique games on the market. They also just so happen to make my favorite RPG ever, and when I found out that Atlus parent company, Index, was in financial trouble I was worried. Today it was announced tha ...
The Evil Within Looks Old School, In A Good Way
Billed as the ‘father of survival horror’, Shinji Mikami‘s new game The Evil Within looks like the kind of survival horror game that I could get behind. Given how little I’ve cared for most of his games I’ll remain cautiously skeptical thou ...
Hate Plus To Japan, Analogue to iOS
Christine Love’s wonderful game about transhumanism, the future, and how quickly progress can slip, Analogue: A Hate Story is being ported to iOS. I’ve always said that visual novels are the perfect medium for smart phones, and hopefully this will get devel ...

My Month of Terror
Despite what recent releases may have you thinking, it is not in fact October. We aren’t even halfway through September yet and we’re practically flooded with horror games. Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs and Outlast are the two most notable horror games, yet n ...
Final Fantasy: The Dating Sim
Whenever I hear new Final Fantasy news I just sort of smile and go “Mhm” and the newest from Square-Enix gave me that exact reaction as well. Final Fantasy Agito has been announced for mobile devices as a free to play game with in app purchases to cu ...
Hoping For Amnesia
It’s out, folks, Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs officially launches today. I’m both excited and terrified all at once. Of course, in finest internet tradition, I plan on streaming the hell out of Amnesia today around 9pm CST so feel free to come along for that ...
Cynicism: Continue?
I used to hate everything. The young, male artist is typically, and sometimes even encouraged to be a surly, dismissive, destructive soul. Nothing is ever good enough, the good died centuries ago, and everything is falling apart. It’s a wannabe punk rock attitude. In r ...
