After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
Back in 2009, WayForward made waves with its re-imagining of the classic NES game A Boy and His Blob, released via WiiWare. Utilizing hand-drawn animation it oozed charm, while the classic puzzles still hold up to this day. Now it’s coming back to Nintendo with a Switch port. Check out…
On December 18th, 1987, Squaresoft released Final Fantasy for the Famicom in Japan. Little did they know that the game would spawn a massive franchise that’s still going to this day. That means next year, 2022, will be the series’ 35th Anniversary and it’s going to be celebrated in style…
Yesterday’s Monster Hunter Tokyo Game Show Spotlight had quite a bit of news for Rise. Along with announcements of new collaborations and monsters coming to its Sunbreak expansion, Monster Hunter Rise’s Steam release got some attention. It’ll be sad to see some of the player base potentially jump ship to…
While today’s Square Enix stream from Tokyo Game Show didn’t have too many new surprises, the handful we did get were intriguing, to say the least. Most odd of all was the very generically named Dungeon Encounters, the latest game from Final Fantasy VI/IX/XII director Hiroyuki Ito. Don’t go expecting…
One of the more unsung aspects of a company in any industry is their logo. Discovering the arrow in the FedEx logo can be a mind-shattering experience, and as video game fans we encounter logos and iconography pretty much whenever we start up anything. One of those I’ve been seeing…
Plenty of fan-favorite characters still haven’t hopped aboard Dodo Airlines and made their way to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but none have been asked for more than Brewster.

My time with Monster Hunter Rise has been so joyous and smooth that I never would have guessed that the game would have so many bugs hidden away (technical bugs, that is; not the collectible insects!). Yet Capcom apparently continues to iron out a long list of glitches within its…
It’s harvest season, and what better game is there to celebrate with than rice-cultivating/demon-slaying indie wonder Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin? Last year’s sleeper hit is getting an art book in Japan very soon, and it’s worth a look. Featuring a respectable 168 pages, the artbook contains everything…
