We have already covered the upcoming Trillion game a couple of times, bug with some new information and quite a few new screenshots, this seemed like the perfect time to share the latest and greatest info from Idea Factory International...
Memorable Music in Gaming #21
February 26, 2016final fantasy, Memorable Music in Gaming, neverwinter nights, skyrim, white knight chronicles, world of warcraft

I am kicking things off by going back to a familiar well here - with a song from the Neverwinter Nights soundtrack. This is still arguably one of my favorite music scores in a video game ever, but I decided to lead off with it and then create something of a theme as I decided...
Your favorite fairies and fencers are back in the upcoming Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force

We were big fans of Fairy Fencer F, both when it first released on PlayStation 3 and then later when it saw a PC release as well. So I definitely file this under 'good news'...
Far Cry Primal - PS4 Review
February 25, 2016CGRreview, Far Cry Primal, PS4, review, Sony PlayStation 4, Ubisoft, Ubisoft Montreal

Far Cry is a series well-known for its violence, but also for its heavy use of firearms. This makes the newest offering in the series, Far Cry Primal, something of an unusual entry into the series as there is not a gun in sight. That being said, a lot of the things the series...
Shiness: the Lightning Kingdom gameplay revealed in new trailer

A new trailer shows off the combat system and gives us a peek at the fairly expansive world...
Tempest - PC Preview

I love pirates - they hold a particularly warm and ale filled place in my heart. So do games that let you go off and do what you want. I like good stories but I also like to slip away and go off on my own little adventure before saving the day. Tempest plays right into my...
Dark Souls III Digital Pre-Orders Now Live for Xbox One, Steam and PlayStation 4

To say Dark Souls III is one of our most anticipated games of 2016 would probably be selling it short. Several of us gleefully subject ourselves to the series time and again and are anxiously looking forward to the upcoming release...
Hero and Daughter+ - PC Review
February 23, 2016CGRreview, Degica, Hero and Daughter+, KADOKAWA DWANGO CORPORATION, pc, review, Tachi

Hero and Daughter is a rare treat. Here we have the Hero that’s done it all, multiple times, and is still max level. Essentially being tired of everyone’s shit he basically tells the King to deal with the xth resurrection of the Dark Lord himself. Not impressed with the qualities...
Glimpse a Fractured Psyche in 'The Walking Dead: Michonne - A Telltale Miniseries' Launch Trailer

We have covered this upcoming title a few times recently, but the game is quickly gaining steam as it moves closer to release. The new trailer and information surrounding it should tide fans over for just a little bit longer...
Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel - PS4 Review
February 22, 2016Marvelous Inc., Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel, PS4, review, Sony PlayStation 4, Xseed Games

A Veritable Rush of Superb Mechanics and an Insufficiency of Game Modes.
I enjoy anime. I adore 2D fighting games. And I’ve read through some fantastic visual novels during my lifetime of comedic peasantry, yet somehow, I didn’t know what I was jump-kicking into when my...
The First 7th Dragon III Code: VFD Trailer Features a New Apex Predator

Disney Infinity 3.0 - Xbox One Review
February 19, 2016Avalanche Studios, Disney Infinity 3.0, Disney Interactive Studios, Microsoft Xbox One, review, Xbox One

The 'toys to life' phenomenon is one that has really taken hold of video gaming, and Disney Infinity may be one of the most popular iterations out there. In my time with the game, I found it to be fun, but with some notable flaws as well....
Memorable Music in Gaming #20
February 19, 2016Kid Icarus, Mega Man II, Memorable Music in Gaming, neverwinter nights, Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness, Uncharted 2

This installment of Memorable Music in Gaming is spread out over a handful of different console generations, but were all titles that resonated with me as games while still having sound tracks that stuck with me in one way or another as well...
Koei Tecmo America reveals series debut features for upcoming Samurai Warriors 4 Empires

While a Warriors fan, the Empires games in particular with their more strategic elements has always appealed to me, and this upcoming release looks like it will be bringing some cool new features to the table...
Rainbow Moon - PS4 Review

Rainbow Moon is one of those games that probably did not need to be re-released on the PlayStation 4, but I am glad it was. Charming visuals, challenging combat and an often lovely soundtrack punctuate what is still a very good game previously only found on the PlayStation...
Final Fantasy Explorers - 3DS Review

I have to admit, I’ve always been a fan of the Final Fantasy series. Whether it’s the battle style, the music or just the feel of the games as a whole I’m not certain, but they’ve always held a special place in my video game collection. The spin-offs are a bit of a different...
XBlaze Code: Embryo coming to PC - soon

I thoroughly enjoyed both of the XBlaze visual novel games upon getting to play them on the PlayStation over the last couple of years. These should find a nice home on the PC then as well...
RPG Tycoon - PC Review

You always hear tales about the great heroes who slew the dragon, defeated the shadow cult, or rescued the princess from the clutches of a large yellow turtle and multiple castles. But what about the villages that spawn those heroes? What about the boring old settlements...
1942 - Retro Reflections

1942 is among the various games in the Capcom Classics Collection vol. 1 for PS2. It is a vertical scrolling shooter where you control a rather ugly plane and destroy hundreds of other aircraft. Unfortunately, the game suffers from two problems...
Shiren The Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate release information

While I have only heard of this series and never had a chance to play it, the news that it will be coming to North American on the Vita is interesting indeed...
The Dwarf Run - PC Review

Dwarves for some reason or another never quite seem to have things easy. Forgotten Realms, Tolkien, or even those from within The Dwarves series from Markus Heitz. This is just as well as it makes for much more interesting stories and The Dwarf Run is no exception. Stripped...
Age of Mythology EX: Tale of the Dragon - PC Review
February 16, 2016Age of Mythology: Extended Edition, Forgotten Empires, Microsoft Studios, pc, Real Time Strategy, review, RTS, SkyBox Labs, Tale of the Dragon

Re-released two years ago as an Extended Edition, Age of Mythology returned to the PC after a decade from its original release. Almost two years later it’s back once again with an expansion which introduces the Chinese Dynasties alongside multiple new Gods, maps, units, and...
Sheltered coming to PS4 very soon

Not too terribly long ago, we talked about a developer diary for the upcoming survival game Sheltered. Sheltered looks to be coming to PlayStation 4 rather soon and I'm curious to see what it will look like when complete...
Protoshift - PC Review

If you, like me, enjoy (or enjoyed while the phenomena lasted) the likes of Flappy Bird and Duet, and just couldn't get enough of either or both of them, then Protoshift may very well be the game for you. Unfortunately, the lackluster production of the game and garish color...
The Coma: Cutting Class - PC Review

Genuinely creepy with some interesting and original surprises along the way, The Coma: Cutting Class gets more right than wrong despite a few questionable design choices and a repetitive core gameplay...
Grand Kingdom Coming this June with Special Editions!

Grand Kingdom has been one of those games I've been aware of, but not seen a great deal on - so I'm more than happy to pass on any additional information about the game that we get...
Crypt of the NecroDancer - PS4 Review

Before the actual review gets going, there are a few things I need to mention as a preface. First of all, this game came out on PC a while back, and while I was intending to pick it up, I never actually did so, so I have no idea about any possible changes between the PC and...
Memorable Music in Gaming #19
February 12, 2016Barbie: Super Model, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, Flight Control, Memorable Music in Gaming, Test Drive II: The Duel, Warioland

Some games are ingrained in our memories due in large part to their music. Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and more. They are important of course, but every now and then a game tune can be so catchy and memorable - despite the game itself not being...
Arslan: The Warriors of Legend - PS4 Review
