    , , ,

    Toco Toco is an interview video series directed by Anne Ferrero (who also directed the fantastic Branching Paths documentary), and the latest episode features Guilty Gear director Daisuke Ishiwatari. The series was recently re-launched and currently focuses on game creators — the previous episode focused on Suda51.

  • Mirror’s Edge Catalyst

    Did you like Mirror’s Edge? Well then why haven’t you played Mirror’s Edge Catalyst? (I say this because it seems to have been criminally overlooked upon release.) Just like the first was so enjoyable for its unique clean world design and parkour first-person gameplay, the sequel takes all that, betters it, and offers an open…

  • Yoshi’s Wooly World

    ,

    The Wii U may be underpowered when compared to PS4/X1, but you sure couldn’t tell when playing through Yoshi’s Wooly World. One of the most beautiful games I’ve seen in action, the mix of wooly art direction with a color palette that is joyous beyond belief makes for such a fun experience. Put all that…

  • Ratchet & Clank

    I was quite looking forward to playing this, as I’m a huge fan of the series, and everything I’d seen so far made it look like a beautiful graphical showcase. I finally played through it last week, and I wasn’t disappointed. I still don’t understand why they decided to remake the first game, in terms…

  • Japan Indie Games Go, Go, Go

    This is a post to celebrate the release of the Branching Paths documentary, which I just love so damn much. Go buy it here. So what’s this Branching Paths thing all about then? It’s a just-released documentary directed by Anne Ferrero that takes a look at the growing indie gaming scene in Japan. Unlike in…

  • Branching Paths

    ,

    I’ve been anxiously waiting for the release of this (you can buy it here), and finally got to watch it last night. It’s a documentary that tells the story of the growing Japanese indie gaming scene, something that’s been slow to develop, and isn’t anywhere near what we’ve seen in the west over the past…

  • Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

    —

    ,

    What a game. I played through this over the past 5 nights, which is something I don’t see myself do much. I just couldn’t wait to get back into it, and save for an unfortunately annoying boss fight at the end (a staple of the series it seems), this is absolutely one of the funnest…

  • Gravity Rush

    ,

    I don’t know why, but even though I’ve had Gravity Rush for years on my Vita, I never ended up playing much of it, and I can’t remember what made me not get back to it after initially only playing the first few missions. But for some reason, I woke up yesterday morning (Saturday) in…
