Tales of Berseria came and went for me. My backlog was huge at the time (and still is) so I never got to experience it. I have sporadically played different entries in the franchise over the years, enjoying Tales of Symphonia most of all. T...

Last year, Bandai Namco released Tales of Link for mobile. It was a game I downloaded and never got around to actually opening up and playing. I’m going through a similar situation right now with that new Angry Birds Evolution ap...

When I first wrote about Tales of Berseria, I held the belief that while the game wasn't particularly groundbreaking or innovative, it nonetheless provided a highly polished and consistently excellent experience. At the time, I'd only put 2...

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a newcomer to Bandai Namco's Tales series. In the past, I've only played small snippets of both Tales of Xilla 2 and Tales of Hearts R, and for one reason or another, have yet to sink my teeth i...

Yes, the title itself is a misnomer. For one thing, Destiny 2 was never intended to be an esport. Or rather, the developers, Bungie, have never made a direct claim. At least, they never cited they would instantly turn it into a big one. For instance, in an interview last August...

The idea of Japanese role-playing games releasing day one on PC is still pretty foreign to me, so I had forgotten Tales of Berseria  was doing just that. It's a good trend, but the bad news for some is that it will use Denuvo, Bandai N...

There's been a lot of outrage over Japanese games getting censored over the years, particularly with respect to sexuality. Lingerie outfits were replaced with Zelda and Samus costumes in Fatal Frame 5, swimsuits were changed to fashionable...

Three days ahead of its Japanese release, the opening animation for Tales of Berseria has appeared online. Featuring a new single by Flow, a Japanese band whose work often appears in anime and video games, the animation shows the main...

While Zestiria was a good old fashioned Tales game, I think Berseria looks a bit flashier -- a little more interesting overall. And this overview trailer from Japan really helps its case, showing off the unique cast, flavorfu...

Tales of Zestiria, while not matching up to some other storied games in the series was still pretty good, and that train hasn't stopped in the station just yet. Namco Bandai has announced that the anime will debut on July 3 in Japan, and wi...

Tales of Berseria is coming to western shores in early 2017, Bandai Namco has announced. The JRPG was previously announced for an August 18 debut in Japan, where the studio plans to put out a PlayStation 3 port, in addition to the PlayStat...

Tales of Berseria will launch on August 18, 2016 on PS4, Bandai Namco has announced. To celebrate, the publisher has kicked off a new trailer for the game, which shows off a decent amount of gameplay and anime cutscenes in 60fps. It's prett...

Two years after its Japanese release, Bandai Namco's mobile role-playing game Tales of Link is finally available in western markets (subtitled in English) via the iOS App Store and Google Play. Despite being a fan of several of the games fr...

Remember that new Tales game? That one with the silly endearing name? Yeah, Tales of Berseria! Bandai Namco is showing off some new footage for the upcoming PC, PS3, and PS4 RPG, and it looks amazing, as usual. The bright, beautif...

I just popped an Advil because I'm dealing with some annoying pain right now. It's a pain that starts to sting right in the inside of my elbow as I try to stretch my arm out. I'm not unfamiliar with this pain, in fact we're old friends. We ...

Tales of Symphonia released on Steam this week, and buyer beware -- you're in for a scare. Bandai Namco's PC version is based on the PS3 port of the PS2 port of the cherished 2003 GameCube title, and even by modest standards, it's a poor ef...

Tales of Berseria is still a ways off (it doesn't even have a release date in Japan yet, though a localization has been confirmed), but that hasn't stopped Namco Bandai from sharing some new information. Apparently the theme will be "emotio...

Tales of Symphonia is coming to Steam on February 2, Bandai Namco announced today. The GameCube classic will be available free to anyone who pre-ordered Tales of Zestiria via Steam prior to its October launch, though there's no word on how ...

Bandai Namco's Tales of Berseria was announced in the middle of this year for PS3 and PS4 in Japan. That has since received a 2016 launch date in Japan. Today, the company confirmed its plan to bring the newest Tales of game to North and S...

My history with the Tales series is sort of akin to an on again, off again relationship. I was introduced to Phantasia by way of a friend's import copy, and immediately fell in love. After that I only dabbled in a few entries befo...

Nine million strong was the verdict in the Star Wars Battlefront beta test weekend. By all accounts, the beta seems to be well received as the Internet was flooded with videos/gifs aplenty. Green Man Gaming must have received the memo ...

Bandai Namco has announced a landslide of DLC for the upcoming Tales of Zestiria, which doesn’t release until October 16. Fortunately, some of that upcoming DLC is free for a limited time, but other bits aren’t. First up is the ...

As spotted by Gematsu, Bandai Namco filed a European trademark for Tales of Link last week. The free-to-play role-playing game launched on iOS and Android devices in early 2014, but only in the Japanese market. Given the publisher is habitu...

Hey, do you like Tales of Symphonia? Wish it were available on your PC in HD? Are you now holding your breath, reading and hoping I'm not messing with your emotions? Fear not, Tales of Symphonia HD is coming to Steam next year. Ported from ...

Bandai Namco just released the first footage of Tales of Berseria in motion, showing off a range of environments, including a tropical coastal locale, a temperate forest, and snow-coated cityscape. The publisher still hasn't revealed much ...

Bandai Namco's worst kept secret is now officially official. Today, the publisher confirmed the rumors are indeed true. Yes, Tales of Zestiria is in development for PlayStation 4 and PC. Alongside the previously announced PlayStation 3 vers...
