Shadow Labyrinth Game Review

Aug 1, 12:00 games

Has PAC-MAN come a long way since Symphony of the Night?

Not long after, Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed that the animated short was a stealth teaser for an upcoming Search Action title, Shadow Labyrinth. Since the announcement, ...

This game drags its feet so hard you would think it had 2 ton weights strapped to them. ― Man, I was so excited when this game started up because it really just throws you right into the swing of things. There's no extended prologue or even much of a summary. One of the first screens you see once you boot up this game for the first time is you're thrown into a fight with a simple command list in the ...

Maebashi Witches Anime Series Review

Jul 31, 12:00

anime

The real secret sauce of Maebashi Witches is that it fearlessly tackles thorny topics with an uncommon degree of sensitivity. ― Maebashi Witches is a “just trust me” anime. The premiere is much clumsier than I would like, and to be frank with you, I bounced off it when I first watched it. Among the chaotic mélange of a motormouth heroine, wisecracking mascot, local Maebashi landmarks, bizarre aesthet...

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Game Review

Jul 30, 11:00 games

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound brings the gory franchise back to its 2D roots in a fun way. ― Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound feels like a game straight out from the 1980s and 90s, especially with its story and higher difficulty threshold. The game's plot is rather one-note, with Kenji vowing to take revenge on the demons and Kumori attempting to double-cross the Demon Lord. Eventually, both Kenji and Kumori develo...

Tamagotchi Plaza Game Review

Jul 29, 12:00 games

It's a little ridiculous that a game meant for such a young audience wouldn't be a lot more clear and direct with its instructions. ― When I first got ahold of Tamagotchi Plaza for my Nintendo Switch 2, I was shocked to see the little doodads I used to carry around in those plastic egg toys as full-blown video game characters. My surprise made more sense when I realized that I wasn't just utterly out...
