A while ago, we reported that WayForward and Arc System Works will be making the next game in the River City/Kunio-Kun beat-em-up/dodgeball franchise. Here's a first look at the game, dubbed River City Girls, and it's on-par with the developer's past works and titillating style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40MRASC-Ndw The game flips the scrip...
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One Genre: 2D weapons-based fighting game In light of the new & rebooted Samurai Shodown's lovely sumi-e aesthetics that mimic classical Japanese paintings of the 17th century, I've decided to just write the majority of the review in a traditional poem structure renowned in that period. Summarized thoughts are at the b...

Does anyone here remember the 1991 arcade 2D shooter classic Cotton which features a pink-haired witch, her shapely skimpy sprite-slash-option, and some pretty dark and dreary graphics for a saccharine game of this stature? No? I'm not surprised. Well, we're getting a reboot of this Japanese classic, courtesy of a game company called Beep which is...
Earlier on our Rage 2 review, Mr Toffee talked about how awesome the weapons are in making your assaults on bandits and sci-fi bad guys all the more colourful and explosive.

Way before From Software loved testing and torturing players with the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games, they had a hand in creating some of the most beloved action game since the late 90s. Okay, we lied. They're not beloved, but more like "tolerated" and "garnered a cult following". From Software aren't like Capcom and Platinum Games; they like...
In honour of Sekiro's One-Armed Wolf, a shinobi/ninja with a grappling hook and the ability to resurrect when needed, let's talk about video games' plethora of silent killers, one-man powerhouses, and black/white-clad sword-wielding shuriken-chucking heroes: the video game ninja. Unlike the real-life variant, most video game ninjas attack their ...

I took the PlayStation Classic for a spin recently. And while a few of the games deserved to be on the retro-throwback cube, I felt that there should be other worthy titles in the mix. As it stands, the motley of games on the mini retro console is, how shall I put it, lacking. I'm not saying I know better, but as someone who lived through the 90s ...
