Writing "Best of the Year" lists makes me feel pretentious and self-aggrandizing. That's probably because these lists operate under the pretense that the writer is able to both assess an entire year's worth of games and make some sort of ab...

Despite casting a wide net as far as the Shin Megami Tensei fandom is concerned, Persona 5 still exists within a niche. Not everyone is going to want to play a surrealistic romp through the country of Japan while accompanied by a ...

Can you dance? Although it's been a real long time since I personally tripped the light fantastic, I was pretty good at the old soft-shoe shuffle. I guess that's why I'm good on bass (the instrument, not the fish). I'm quite capable of keep...

It's hard being the drummer. Not only do you generally sit at the back of the stage, avoiding the spotlight and hidden behind a mass of metal, but you are, essentially, the key to the whole performance remaining tight. A guitarist can blow ...

Rhythm games are baked into my DNA. I get that not everyone wants to jump around on a plastic mat, bang a drum, or strum a guitar, but at some point or another, my musical background kicks in and I hit that zone -- the one where you can see...

One day, I'm gonna be shuffling off this mortal coil. When that day comes, I think all anyone is going to remember of me is a never-ending deluge of posts, spread over two years about releases, localisations, DLC and characters pertaining t...

Even if I never end up playing the new Space Channel 5 designed solely for virtual reality, the knowledge that the rhythm series is alive and well in 2018 in any capacity warms my heart. Between this and the niche-PSP-series-turned-VR-game ...
