Visiting Japan without stopping at a game center is like flying to Rome and forgetting to eat pasta. Unlike America, where arcades peaked with that scene in Terminator 2 in which a grown man stiff-arms the kid from Salute Your Shorts, the game center remains a popular hangout spot in Japan’s major cities. However, much...

I vividly remember the first time my cousin and I played Outlast. "It'll terrify you," she said. "It's like that FEAR game we played, but worse." As we climbed into Mount Massive Asylum, sneaking our way through its corridors, there's that iconic moment where a body drops from the ceiling. We quickly switched the game off and watched Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg play the rest of it. Yet, investigative horror games are a genre I can't help but go back to - despite the inevitable screams and panic,...

A reboot of Power Rangers made in 2017 has absolutely no right to be good. In fact, it shouldn’t even be tolerable. It should be unnecessarily dark and gritty. It should be violent and mature, and completely embarrassed of the IP it’s based on. And yet, somehow, none of that is true. Instead, the 2017...

The Nintendo DS is one of the toughest consoles to emulate, for an obvious reason. It’s the two screens. This is even an issue with ports. Some developers avoid the problem by mushing everything together onto a single traditional screen, like the recently-released Castlevania Dominus Collection. However, gamers may finally have an affordable emulation solution, thanks to the MagicX Zero 40 handheld console. On its surface, it’s yet another handheld emulator, but this one features a four-inch ver...

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is getting a major patch on 13th March, developers Warhorse have announced. It will enhance the bracingly mucky RPG with modding tools and a "trove of updates", including what the devs ambiguously refer to as Barber Mode. Going by the promotional image they've knocked together, this is just a selection of beards and haircuts for protagonist Henry. But it is not yet 13th March, so let us dare to dream. Let us imagine that the update will let Henry become a barber, cutt...

Everything about Sorry We’re Closed sets my little punk heart ablaze, from its low-poly 3D graphics and banging original soundtrack, to its casually epic storyline starring heartbroken club kids and horny demons. Sorry We’re Closed takes place around a bustling city of neon-splattered nightmares, and if I could, I’d move there immediately. Michelle, an existentially lost and effortlessly cool twenty-something, is introduced to the spiritual world by The Duchess, an archdemon with thigh-high boot...

Love is hell. To call à La Mode's Sorry We’re Closed a survival horror is certainly accurate in many ways, but it also does a disservice to just how unique and fresh this debut title really is. While it absolutely borrows a few elements from genre classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill (including the obvious PS1-inspired visuals), Sorry We’re Closed is quite unlike anything we’ve ever played before, and it’s bloomin’ marvelous. The basic premise sees you take on the role of Michelle as she ...
