Dinosaur King Retroview
This game promised to be a blast from the past, but does it live up to the terrible thunder of its antediluvian origins? Or is it just a puddle of crude oil, squished under a rock? Time machines will tell.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is not just the long-awaited sequel to the video game franchise, but the first game entry that feels like a proper sequel to the novels and short fiction to which it owes its lineage. It’s not just a great game, but a follow-up story that winds up its series better than the final book did.
Borderlands 2 PC Retroview
On the world of Pandora, many mysteries abound amid colorful characters galore. Excessive thought is unnecessary though, when simply shooting things in the face gets the job done fast.
Like Rats – shoot them for sure.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel PS3 Review
Hot on the heels of Trails in the Sky SC, XSEED Games wasted no time in getting started on the next Trails series. We’ve finally tackled this behemoth of a game, and it was well worth the effort.
Xenoblade Chronicles X Review
Monolith Soft’s RPGs are not something to go into lightly; be prepared for a playthrough to take several days’ worth of time. At least there is plenty of stuff to fill that time with.
Yakuza 5 Review
Sega released quite possibly the best Christmas gift for editor Sam Wachter. It may involve hostess clubs, bicycle murder, and… dance battles? Bless you, Sega. Bless you!
Hard West Review
The Hard West ain’t so much a place to spend Christmas. It’s more a place for dodging bullets, summoning demons, and leading a posse of miscreants into certain danger. You must be thinking of the Soft West, with its deputy puppies and its cactus pies. Both places have their charms, really.
Shadowrun: Hong Kong Review
Shadowrun: Hong Kong offers a steady evolution of Harebrained Schemes’ Shadowrun experience. It’s such an enjoyable game that a director’s cut wouldn’t need to do much to boost it from an excellent, tactically engaging family conspiracy to a must-have.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC Review
It might not be apparent at first, but further into the second Trails game something becomes clear: Estelle is so Bright that one guy’s gotta wear shades. It only occurs to one person though.
Chaos Wars Retroview
What happens when representatives of numerous companies get tossed together in a crossover title? There is no one correct answer to this question, except when Idea Factory enters the mix, and then the result is foreordained.
Hot, hotter, hottest: that’s how hot it is!
Rebel Galaxy Review
Pirates, but in Space Double Damage Games, a studio founded by two former developers of Diablo and Torchlight, steps away from fantasy and leaps into...
Knights of Pen & Paper 2 Review
The dreaded Paper Gang is on the loose, and it’s up to the Knights of Pen and Paper to shred them into thin pieces. But does Kyy Games’ sequel roll a natural twenty in this reviewer’s eyes? Roll initiative to find out.
Fallout 4 Review
Bethesda’s latest bomb has dropped, and we crawl out through the fallout to see how it holds up. Is the game a sixty-minute man or a two-pump chump?
The Legend of Legacy Review
At the end of the day, Legend of Legacy provides a satisfying experience, with plenty to explore, and lots of challenging combat to experience. It may not bear the SaGa name, but it carries on the best aspects of the series. Akitoshi Kawazu would be proud.
Stella Glow Review
Forget what you think you know about witches. No old women wearing dark robes with warts aplenty will be found in this game, only nubile nymphets with magical melodies. The jury is out on whether this artistic choice was an accurate one.
Sword Art Online: Re: Hollow Fragment Review
Misery Business Sword Art Online is an anime series that has quite the large fan following. Considering it’s an anime about massive-multiplayer role playing games,...
LBX: Little Battlers eXperience Review
Although the 3DS RPG series where players command giant robots sadly seems stuck in Japan, at least Level-5 and Nintendo are providing a miniature standby. Can a Little Battlers eXperience help scratch that mecha itch?
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight Review
In a twist that will shock perhaps three people around the world who know of this series, considerable cartography is required when playing. If professional cartographers had access to the tools in Etrian games though, maybe more people would want the job. Beware of angry birds.
Beyond the Labyrinth Import Review
It’s been said that Hell is other people, but when you’re locked in a labyrinth with no exit, the people around you are all you’ve got. In order to get out from behind those closed doors, it’s necessary to go beyond the little problems and focus on the big picture. And what a picture it is.
