I’ll be honest that I’m somewhat conflicted about how this entry wants to safely branch out and do other things with the game, but I can’t turn around and ignore the effort put into the gameplay here. While many entries in this franchise could easily be considered an example of...
Barring a few minor issues here and there, Corpse Party: Blood Drive continues to be one of the most enjoyable visual novels I’ve played. It’s campy, gruesome, a little fanservicey…so a lot like the scary movies I grew up with through a different cultural lens. If you’ve enjoyed the Corpse...
Boss battles are a low point, jumping isn’t always the best in execution, and some may be disheartened that their favorite party game was cut. Regardless, Banana Blitz HD is the definitive version of an era of Monkey Ball that desperately needs to make a comeback by either remaking the...

That’s what Killer Queen Black masters. The feeling of competition and teamwork with people directly around you. It’s unbeatable. It’s rare a competitive game can give you the exhilaration of beating your friends without the bitterness of losing to them. It’s competition at its friendliest and most fun. The only...
