It is “a future where resources has dried up”. And so what do you do? The only thing that makes sense: war. You would think if there were no resources, everything would be thrown into the stone age, but not in the world of Freedom Wars, a new PS Vita RPG. Here, technology is the… Read More »
The Mad Max films were as much about the ridiculously awesome cars as it was about the man. As kids, we spent many weekends replicating some of those crazy mods with legos. Some of those mad chariots were creations of beauty. Mad Max the Game is about the man, and his open world, but the… Read More »
The title is misleading. To clarify, I’m not talking about Seoul as a great city for gamers, though with all the world-class gamers, events, and tech, it is one of the best. The point of this blog is that Seoul is where more video games should take place. And not just FIFA or Taekwondo games,… Read More »
Once a week or so, I look for weird games. Today I came upon Omori on Kickstarter. It’s a surreal RPG psycho-horror about a guy named Omori who “is a character has been described as a ‘depressed otaku’”. What is a depressed otaku? I have no idea, but it sounds weird, so I like it.… Read More »
Yes, the world is in fact on the verge of being swallowed. The actual line is, “Unless we act, it will swallow the world.” According to the new Dragon Age: Inquisition trailer, “it” is the Breach, which I suppose is a big hole that will, if not acted-upon, swallow the world. Being swallowed can’t be… Read More »
Selling a chess video game can’t be easy. I can play online for free. I’ve got it on my iPad. Doesn’t always look great, but it’s chess. So, to sell a chess game, it’s got to look good. Now that Pure Chess is on PS4, chess is at its prom-best. Looks fantastic and the different… Read More »

A full-scale war in Asia would be a complete disaster. Give me the Admiral Akbar Award for stating the obvious (“It’s a Trap!”) because here’s the obvious result of total war in Asia: millions dead, more displaced, and billions affected as several generations face chaos, recession and a world without cool gadgets. That’s why Wargame… Read More »
I’m not an art expert, but Ubisoft’s new RPG, Child of Light, is about art. The new trailer is a two-minute side-scrolling tour of Lemuria in all its water-color-ish splendor. The landscape, especially the trees, reminds me of Asian art. The grammar in the opening line also reminds me of things Far East (“more bigger”),… Read More »
Popular movie plus mobile game plus freemium usually equals bad news. Star Wars: Assault Team is not all bad, but it’s definitely not worthy of long-term residence on your device. It’s a collectable card game featuring characters from the original Star Wars trilogy (Episodes 4-6). That means, Han, Leia, Luke, Chewy, R2, and everyone’s favorite… Read More »
