  • Day of the Tentacle Remastered

    This is one of those classic games that I absolutely adored when I played it back in the day, and playing the new Remastered edition is my first revisit since then (theyā€™ve already announced a remaster of Full Throttle, which is another classic LucasArts adventure game I love, but that one I re-played a few…

  • Shutshimi

    Another game from this monthā€™s PlayStation Plus lineup that I was quite looking forward to playing is Shutshimi – like I said, I really like 2D shooters. Iā€™ve just played a bit of it, and right now Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m missing something, but Iā€™m a bit underwhelmed. Itā€™s a neat idea, to play…

  • Dead Star

    This is one of the offerings from this monthā€™s PlayStation Plus lineup, and one that I was quite looking forward to playing, as its the first original IP from Armature (born out of a few developers who worked on Metroid Prime leaving Retro Studios). After reading about it, I figured it would be right up…

  • Koe no Katachi

    After devouring the Ajin manga (Iā€™m all caught up and waiting for new chapters), Iā€™m now on to something completely different, and that I wouldnā€™t have thought Iā€™d enjoy reading (it was recommended by the same friend who suggested I check outĀ Ajin). Koe no KatachiĀ (A Silent Voice, in English) is basically a junior high romance,…

  • Wolf Children

    I donā€™t even know where to start when describing how much I loved this movie. As I mentioned the other day, Iā€™m going through Mamoru Hosodaā€™s movies (Iā€™d only previously seen Summer Wars), and this, well, this is just one of the best animated films Iā€™ve ever seen. I canā€™t say that the quality of…

  • Broforce

    Even though Iā€™ve had this game for a month – it was part of the March lineup of free games through PlayStation Plus – I still didnā€™t get around to playing it until tonight. Part of it was that the name really turned me off, and also that it had been selected to join the…

  • Miitomo

    A lot of people are playing with this right now (it came out outside of Japan on Thursday), and youā€™re hearing a lot ofĀ ā€œwhatā€™s the point here,ā€ and the thing is that there isnā€™t one, really. Itā€™s just a way to spend some time looking at funny things, with a light level of interaction (answering…

  • Insidious: Chapter 2

    When I started watching this, I realized that I couldnā€™t really remember what had happened in the first one, but I did remember liking it. This though, it just tries too hard to establish some sort of ā€œworldā€ for the franchise, focusing too much on powers and the otherworld, instead of on creepiness and scares.…

  • The Visit

    I really do want Shyamalan to make a good movie again, and The Visit does have some nice creepy moments, but alas it still falls short overall. The biggest annoyance for me was the setup of found footage (the daughter is making a documentary about whatā€™s happening) which just feels so clichĆ© and uninteresting these…

  • Paragon

    I canā€™t say that Iā€™m hugely into MOBAs – Iā€™ve barely tried League of Legends and DOTA 2 because they didnā€™t play great on my MacBook Air, although I should maybe try again on my current MacBook Pro – but I do like to dabble in the ones that come out on console. In the…
