This is going to sound strange, but if you have a love for cars and anime girls and would like to see those two combined into one video game, then developers Bergsala Lightweight and Tamsoft have you covered with Drive Girls. Tamsoft is known for creating action titles in Japan that often receive western releases,

Whenever I see a puzzle game, I always get concerned. While they can be incredibly fun and offer some of the best gaming experiences out there, they are usually done poorly. And not in terms of gameplay, but in the difficulty curve (or lack thereof). Make it too hard, and players won’t want to keep
The Utawarerumono series is about as niche as it gets when it comes to games developed by Aquaplus to get a western release. However, the series has gained overseas popularity due to the manga and anime adaptations of the series. Earlier this this year, Atlus published the second of the three part Utawarerumono visual novel SRPG
Enter the Law, the Breakers, and a rivalry that leads to nothing but death. As I stumbled into my first match with full intentions of doing harm to others, things quickly change for the worse when you play Uplink. After confidently loading up my class and entering an area where gravity does not exist, my
The Ys series has once again entered our lives, but I feel like the action RPG hasn’t made as huge of a dent in the gaming community as it probably should have, perhaps that will soon change. The series that began in 1987 is now celebrating it’s 30 year anniversary with the release of Ys
In a tiny hamlet, the King has gone mad with power — believing that the purveyors of older religions have welcomed a curse on the town, resulting in the birth of soulless children. Unfortunately, the village’s woes don’t end there. A plight has infested the grain crop, and the townspeople are now so obsessed with
For months now, I have been ironically claiming that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is my most anticipated game of the year. When I first began hearing rumors earlier this year about a crossover title featuring gaming’s most beloved icon, Mario, and the often criticized, frequently annoying Rabbids, I thought the results would end up being
Quite often, remasters and even remakes are little more than quick cash grabs. They’re great because they allow game publishers to raise funds which are mostly reinvested in making new games, but they offer little to those who already own and played the original games. Now, erase that concept from your brain, because Yakuza Kiwami
For a new entry in a series many consider to be stagnant from year-to-year, Madden NFL 18 actually brings a ton of changes to the long running football game franchise. The Madden series has transitioned from running on the Ignite engine to EA’s more traditionally used Frostbite engine, added a well-crafted Telltale-esque story mode, included
Undertale was sort of an anomaly to me. I had never been a fan, notably because I missed out on the game back when it released in 2015. The game has been sitting in my Steam library for months, with only one hour clocked. Do I sure as hell regret that now. Since Undertale is
Growing up in the 90’s gave me the privilege of witnessing the legendary “Console Wars.” It was a time when the video game market was changing monthly and every publisher was trying to find the “next big thing.” It was during this time that video game fans everywhere would be introduced to Sonic the Hedgehog,
Sword Art Online is a well-known anime and manga franchise, even by those who haven’t seen or read the source material. The story follows a team of hardcore gamers who dedicate their lives to spending time together in a virtual world. However, Accel World might be seen as a little more of a niche series.
The love for old-school gaming shines through for developer The Bitfather and their rogue-like, classic turn-based title: Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic. They are the latest developer to use retro 8-bit style graphics with a no-nonsense, straight-up nostalgia approach which works in some instances, but holds the game back considerably in many areas. Originally released
So let’s talk about Mighty No. 9: I think the stale taste has left everybody’s mouths by now. To put it simply, that game was a disaster with so much potential to be great. A true successor to the Mega Man series, with one the series’ most notable leads, Keiji Inafune, at the helm. Sadly,
When a major movie hits theaters nowadays, most people expect a cheap tie-in video game to get announced in order to cash-in on the movie’s success. Without hesitation, most people write the game off immediately. So lets cut right to the chase: Cars 3: Driven to Win is most certainly not going to win any
