Nintendo of Europe timed the release of Inazuma Eleven GO to coincide nicely with this summer’s World Cup, but which provided the better version of the beautiful game? When it comes to bog-standard real-world physics against a setting where the ball can be turned into a boomerang surely there’s only one winner.
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo. Doo doo, it works when it wants toooo. Doo doo doo doo, my game goes crash bang boom.
It takes an intrepid group of explorers to delve deep into an unexplored labyrinth, especially when they have to haul away freshly severed creature parts to craft better gear. The cast of this game might look young, but clearly has had great practice stifling the gag reflex. Fresh body parts for your backpack, yay!
Some say that the unexamined life is not worth living, but Level-5 says nay to that. This fantastic life is perfect and happy, and closer examination will only bring out the flaws. So don’t pick nits and don’t pry with your eyes, because then you might ruin the game’s surprise.
Applying financial terminology to fantasy worlds could produce other fascinating titles in the future. Is it possible to Cautiously Mortgage, Lazily Foreclose, Furiously Equitize, or Nobly Deficit? These questions are not answered by this game.

The addition of a 1,000 year old mystery girl isn’t the only change to this overhaul of the original Etrian Odyssey. The untold number of new mechanics and the improved labyrinth exploration make this much more than your average remake.

Bloodthirsty bears bashing in logs, freaky feathered floaters roaming the air, terrible turtles twisting on the ice, and killer kangaroos kvetching about intrusions into their space. Etrian Odyssey FOEs sure are a grumpy bunch. Go away, you dumb sheep, I’m trying to collect vegetables!
The sixth Fire Emblem in English, and the thirteenth overall, is almost available for the perusal of the masses. Is it dead on arrival, or will it knock you dead? One way to find out is reading this review.
Yasumi Matsuno’s vision is seemingly of sentient board game pieces that move only when no eyes are upon them. Any other resemblances to Toy Story are not so obvious.
Bloody fun.
Ever wanted to lift a building over your head and toss it somewhere else with ease? In Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, there’s more to life than building-cabertoss, but darn it, it’s way too much fun.
Certain questions regarding Princess Solange’s attire will spring to mind, not least how she can move around in anything less than incredibly hot climates. Somehow her ability to swing a sword that weighs more than she does is not impaired, though.
