  • Final Fantasy XIV

    —

    ,

    I love this game so much. Sure, I was frustrated during the first weeks because of the issues with the servers, not being able to get on to play, but things are normal now, and it’s a joy to hop in and have some adventures in this world. I’m also lucky that I have a…

  • I Am Street Fighter

    —

    ,

    Of all the video game genres, fighting is the one I tend to steer clear of, but I’m still fascinated by the culture that surrounds fighting games – EVO and the like – and this is a fantastic portrayal of the community that exists around the Street Fighter franchise (and fighting games in general). I…

  • Muramasa Rebirth

    ,

    While everyone is playing Vanillaware’s latest, Dragon’s Crown, I’ve just hopped in Muramasa Rebirth on Vita (it’s currently on sale for about $20 on the PSN Store). This game looks absolutely gorgeous on the Vita screen, and I’m having a decent amount of fun with the hack-and-slash gameplay (admittedly not really my favorite kind of…

  • Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

    ,

    I played a bunch of this game when it came out on iOS, and bought a few (pricey) packs for it, but when I saw the original 3DS version on sale on Play-Asia, I decided to pick it up, and I’m sure glad I did. The joy here is of course in playing a rhythm…

  • Killzone: Mercenary Beta

    —

    ,

    This week if you’re a PS+ member you can download and play the multiplayer beta of Killzone: Mercenary for Vita. I’m not much of an FPS guy – much less Killzone, of which I think I’ve only played a bit of the first game – but it’s pretty impressive to see what they’ve been able…

  • Defiance

    —

    ,

    Because I like the TV series, I’d been wanting to play the Defiance MMO for a while now – had heard that it wasn’t amazing, but good fun – and I finally started playing it last night (recently bought it for $20 on Play-Asia, but it’s also now available for that price through the PSN…

  • SCROLL

    —

    ,

    I don’t usually write about magazines here – I do that over at The Magaziner – but I did really want to recommend the latest issue (10) of the self-published video game magazine SCROLL. It’s a fantastic look back at the Boku no Natsuyasumi (My Summer Vacation) series. As I wrote the other day, I…

  • Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time

    —

    ,

    As with everyone else on the planet right now, I’ve been playing the just released Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time on iOS. The biggest change this time is of course that it follows the free-to-play model, and so far I’m not having a problem with it – and from what I’ve been reading,…
