MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics Game Review
There’s room for improvement, but as a whole, this release feels like a win for both players and game preservation.
― Few fighting games have proven to have the staying power of the Marvel vs. Capcom series. And while it's easy to hear that and be reminded first and foremost of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (and for good reason), the popularity of the #FreeMVC2 movement is testament to how this applies to its ...

"Breaking Dimensions" was Hololive's second major English Vtuber concert. Like the first one that happened last year at the Anime Expo, this one was a resounding success.

BAKERU Game Review
BAKERU is a fantastic game for kids and kids at heart.
― Late last year, BAKERU's initial Japanese release seemed to spark what could only be described as “pure, nostalgic joy” among those who played the 3D platformer. Particularly, a nostalgia for the Ganbare Goemon series and its Nintendo 64 installment, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. Which makes a lot of sense when one considers that BAKERU's dev...
SPY×FAMILY Volumes 11-12 Manga Review
While most of Anya's schemes go hilariously sideways, now is her time to shine.
― It's hard to go wrong with an Anya-centric storyline. As wonderful as it's been to get Loid's difficult past and to see Yor steal the spotlight, Anya remains one of Spy x Family's most endearing characters, as well as the one it's easiest to get an entertaining plot out of. She's the ultimate wild card, a little kid who...
