We're in a resplendent era of one-person studios and I couldn't be happier that those kinds of games are getting attention. There's Eric Barone of Stardew Valley fame, Celeste's Matt Thorson, Bertil Hörberg, and of cours...

I’m kind of known for my elongated eulogies for dead systems. While others are moving on (or yelling at me to move on) after a platform is discontinued, I’m usually looking for backup Wii Us so I can play Pikmin 3 well into my 6...

Child of Light was a standout release for Ubisoft. In an era where fans were becoming increasingly worried that they were just jamming AAA open world concepts into everything they made, a beautiful indie platformer with RPG elements is just...

Catherine is a shining achievement for Atlus. It's out of their classic JRPG comfort zone and managed to spawn a speedrunning/competitive fighting game community out of it, on top of everything else it accomplished. It's no wonder why we're...

Phantasy Star Online 2 watch: stardate, 2019. It's been seven years since Sega released the original version in Japan and there still aren't any signs of an official localization effort. Send help. Yes it's that time again where I bring up ...

Physical media fans Limited Run Games has announced that they will be selling a physical release of Inti Creates' retro-infused title Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, the precursor to the highly anticipated Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night...

PSO was such a huge part of my gaming career it's maddening that Phantasy Star Online 2 hasn't come west yet. It's moved from PC in 2012 to Vita, PS4, Switch and mobile platforms in various ways (truncated or cloud-based) but it's still jus...

It may be the end of the road for the PlayStation Vita's hardware production, but that isn't going to stop Sony's handheld from grabbing a few more releases on its way out of the door. Case in point, Bromio Games' surrealist adventure title...

I've been playing my Vita a lot more lately. The rekindling of my love sprung from a recent playthrough of Resident Evil 3, which was spurred by my review of the Resident Evil 2 remake. Sony's little portable is such an easy way to pla...

Have you heard the good word about Tetris Effect? I certainly have because Jordan keeps talking about it! It's a luminescent, beautiful spin on that old green-and-black Game Boy puzzler. Words don't really do Tetris Effect justice, tho...

Given that we're roughly one month out from a rather huge transition for PlayStation Plus, Sony is sending out email reminders that yes, things are a changing. In case you haven't heard or solely subscribe to PlayStation Plus for the PS3 an...

Y'know what's a great game? Spelunky. Mossmouth's 2008 platformer has an incredibly simple premise, but manages to provide deep and engrossing gameplay, where inventory management, perfect dexterity, daring and a little bit of luck all comb...

With two of the most anticipated games of all-time releasing in the last week, Sony could have easily put a bunch of nothing up for PS Plus subscribers in February and gotten away with it. Thankfully, it didn't cheap out on the freebies, be...

So the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on Switch is becoming a full-time job to track. Firstly, we found out that getting both games on the same cart would ostensibly be an Asia-region exclusive. Now, it looks like the deal has been al...

Sony has gone all-in on PlayStation flash sales these past couple years, and if there are any signs that the now-regularly-scheduled deals are going to simmer down in 2019, I'm not seeing them. This weekend's PS4, PS3, and Vita flash sale p...
