I had no idea what I was going to be encountering when I picked up Fashion Dreamer towards the end of last week. My first time hearing about it was during a recent Nintendo Direct, and it looked…well, it looked okay. It seemed like an intriguing concept, and my wife...
Wonder is the sense of amazement or admiration that comes from something beautiful, remarkable, or unfamiliar. When we use the word, we often attribute it to the celestial sights, or to a child’s first experiences, however benign. It’s a word thrown around too easily with the adjective “wonderful”, and the...
It’s well documented to the point of being a meme that licensed games from the 90s were their own special kind of hell. As fondly as we look back at The Lion King, Aladdin or even Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers, we can easily now find evidence that we were...
When Forever Entertainment released Front Mission 1st: Remake last year, it was a great exercise in a publisher bringing a series to the West in a new light. While there had been the DS version of Front Mission years ago, many people never experienced the series in any real capacity....
Nobunaga’s Ambition was one of the first NES games that I came across that truly baffled me as a child. For the most part, I associated my time with video games to be one of relaxation, stimulation and excitement in a variety of fields. To be able to run and...
1-2-Switch is one of the most divisive games in the Switch’s stunningly long catalog. As a launch title, it made sense: an opportunity for new adopters to get a feeling for what the Switch’s capabilities were. It was a party game that was playable by almost anyone and utilized so...
Ghost Trick was, bar none, one of my favorite games for the Nintendo DS. Clever, engrossing and amazingly compelling, it’s one of the few titles that I played where I forsook anything else on my DS for a period of weeks. Normally I can toggle between multiple games to help...
HEY, YOU. Yeah, you with the face and the shirt. Are you tired of your video games giving you meaning and fulfillment? Do you squirm with discomfort at the notion of feeling like you’re making progress? Put down the bells and turnips, your villagers hate you, and Tom Nook is...
Tron: Identity
Have you ever had Iced Cucumber Pepsi? Of course you haven’t, it’s a maddening idea that shouldn’t even be considered by someone entrusted to operate a car. Yet, back in 2007, it was all I wanted to drink for two glorious months. Cool, refreshing, sweet but not saccharine, this seemingly...
Walk into a gathering anywhere in North America. See who’s there. Do you recognize anyone? If so, abandon the plan. Is it clear of familiar faces? Then assess the age range. If they’re under twenty, I can’t promise that it will work, but you’re welcome to try. If you’ve got...
There’s probably never going to be catching the PlayStation 2 in terms of console sales and impact. Purchased by families who cared nothing for video games and everything for a DVD player, the PS2 played host to more titles than I care to list here. Many are well known and...
Hunt the Night
In worlds of fantasy creations, there are so many approaches to the balance of good and evil. In some cases, the evil seems to lurk in the shadows, a creeping dread that all feel but only a select few have to face. There are some where darkness operates with the...
