In the world of Japanese role-playing games, there are few titles as beloved and timeless as Chrono Trigger. Responsible for pushing the JRPG genre forward in terms of narrative tropes, accessible gameplay, and thematic tone, its influence is undeniable in the modern landscape. It makes sense that this 1995 Super Nintendo title would become a…
Confession time: I’ve not played Silksong yet. This is not, despite what my enemies might tell you, because I’m very scared of its many difficult bosses, but is in fact because I’m a man of stalwart principle. The monsters at Team Cherry removed Hornet’s shaw. In the original Hollow Knight, Hornet was a chatty sort….
Often, there’s no unique selling point to a gaming mouse: it either offers good quality for a great price, or it doesn’t. But occasionally, there’s something new enough about a mouse, or something that it does well enough, to give it that very definite selling point stamp, and I think that’s the case here with…
Say hello to the ‘MegaWang 2000 Turbo Edition’. If you’re old enough to have been gaming during the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 era, then you’ll be familiar with Imagine Software. This Liverpool-based company was one of the leading lights of the UK industry in the 1980s, producing a series of commercially successful titles at…

Baller. The Switch 2 exclusive Drag x Drive has today received its first major game update, bumping it up to Version 1.1.0. It’s been previously noted how this title was lacking modes and certain features, and it seems this latest update has improved the overall experience. For starters, it’s now possible to play local wireless…
It’s planned for the “end of the year”. If you want to try Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Switch 2 before you actually purchase it, we’ve got some good news. According to the game’s director Naoki Hamaguchi, Square Enix is planning to release a demo for Nintendo’s new system by the end of this…
2001’s Advance Wars is a perfect little game: Compact yet tactically rich, a purposefully limited but versatile library of units like top-heavy tanks and chonky bombers smashing together in rock-paper-scissors shoot-outs. The only wildcard, each commanding officer’s slow-charging heroic power, can swing the tide of a battle but is still relatively tame—like gaining a couple…
It’s announcement after announcement with HoYoverse lately, and just on the heels of its Honkai: Nexus Anima reveal, the publisher has introduced Petit Planet. It’s a painfully cute, Animal Crossing-inspired life sim that takes yet another HoYo game setting to the stars. I’m beginning to sense a theme here. From the looks of it, Petit…
