Amidst surprisingly reputable, believable hype over the last month that we could be seeing a second Persona 3 remake/remaster this year, Atlus bringing fans to games they previously couldn’t play may also cast a light on a different game they revisited just a couple years ago. However, the mainline Shin Megami Tensei franchise may be... Continue Reading →
A Product Of Its Time | “Persona 3 Portable Remastered” (2023) Game Review
Much like with Persona 4, Persona 3 got the remastering treatment early this year. Like Persona 4, actual changes made to the game are relatively minimal, as it seems Altus simply wanted to recreate the original Persona 3 experience.

A Unique Game With Potential | “Path of Titans” Beta Review And Forecast With A Guest
Path of Titans is a dinosaur themed MMORPG. The game is in beta currently, so it’s rather pleasingly simple- you simply choose a species of dinosaur, then head out into the world to grow it.

Capping Off A Solid Debut Season | “The Dark Pictures Anthology – The Devil In Me” (2022) Game Review With A Guest
On August 30th of 2019, the Dark Pictures Anthology hit the scene with Man of Medan. Overall, that game wasn’t a complete disaster, but it was rather underwhelming. Supermassive Games would spend the next few years with Little Hope and then House of Ashes, with the latter overall proving much more successful. Just under a... Continue Reading →

Soulsborne: To Wield Or Not To Wield? Part 4 | Column from the Editor
Not much of an intro is needed here, as this series is fairly straightforward. Let's take another look at some under the radar weapons that are either worth wielding, or are better left in the storage chest or discarded.
