Reagan Gorbachev is a game based on the Cold War. Ah, the Cold War. The battle between democracy and communism, the tense and symbolic split between East and West Germany, Gorbachev’s proficiency with a poisonous blowdart and Reagan’s skill with a bastard sword. Wait, no, that can’t be right… Reagan had a katana. There we go. Reagan…
The protagonist of the Uncharted series, Nathan Drake, acts as a mascot for the PlayStation brand. He’s funny, charming, and his hair is perfectly styled at all times. He could crawl out of a swamp and his hair would still be sticking out at the front, nary a strand touching his forehead. One wonders how someone who…
Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest is a fantastically crafted video game. The story is engrossing, the characters are well-rounded, and the gameplay is satisfying in its variety and difficulty.

I find myself devouring games like The Evil Within and P.T., desperate for any morsel of J-horror. And of the three main horror franchises of the mid-2000s, only Fatal…
Yoshinori Ono, creator of the Onimusha series, revealed in an interview with the Daily Star that he has “spoken internally with people who made Onimusha […] about maybe how interesting it would be to revisit that series”. As you may notice, the language Ono uses is vague, making it clear that there are no concrete plans to make…
Ghost in the Shell: First Assault Online is turning out to be a weird one; weird not in how it plays or looks, but because it has the Ghost in the Shell name tacked onto it in the first place. First of all, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex was an anime series that ran from…
